First leg tonight away at the Toon. Full team as much as possible please. This is arguably our best chance of a trophy and it will be the same for our opponents. Play a weakened side here and we could have a very challenging second leg. I know it’s the derby at the weekend but in the grand scheme of things this is the more important game

Semenyo has to start. And hopefully Ake won’t.

Can see a draw which wouldn’t be a bad thing

1-1 Semenyo

take our chances and no one beats us
it's that simple

It would be nice if Pep put out a decent side for this one and didn't experiment, a draw or a win would be nice. It too would like to see a Semenyo start again and Ake a non starter.

Pep will select the B TEAM.Might have a chance if Semenyo plays. Haaland needs to have a decent game and graft a bit more than he usually does.

DRAW OR EVEN a 1-0 loss aint that bad

We need to be on it tonight, as quick as Maxine Carr was providing an alibi to Ian Huntley.

Wasn't he a caretaker like Michael Carrick

If were serious about this, and we should be, we will have to go full strength. Because they sure will.

Full strength is no haaland but excuse to "rest" him

Tonight’s City line-up!

XI | Trafford, Nunes, Khusanov, Alleyne, Ake, Bernardo (C), O’Reilly, Semenyo, Foden, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Donnarumma, Reijnders, Cherki, Rodri, Ait-Nouri, McAidoo, Gray, Mukasa, Lewis

Are we one up yet?

Pros:

Cbs
O reilly mid
Semenyo

Cons:
Haaland
Bench
Ake / defence

Hasnt livramento been injured loads so good job we didnt get him?

Why not play best keeper I wonder?

Pleased for Alleyene

Poor Cherki.

Ake? Seriously?

Assume O’Reilly is in for cover. Unless it’s Ake and Alleyne at CB, Khus at RB and Nunes in midfield?

Reasonable bench though

Newcastle at full strength pretty much so this will be a huge test

Ake rewarded with another start after his previous horror show - Khus must be dreading it.

Its either nunes or o reilly in midfield, would imagine its o reilly then again its pep!
Not sure i am mad keen on that team.
