***City v Dirty Leeds |Official Match Thread***

Ake and Fernandinho start. Ferna will not start against Dortmund then.

Not good, rodri had a bad game

I think Fern will start at Dortmund. Rodri just couldn't handle them

[blues2win]

Pep says Sergio hasn’t trained for three or four days. Aymeric not fully fit. I suppose that can be difficult if you don’t get regular game time.

I swear Pep checks how to fuck up my Fantasy team in the best way before making his team selections.

Joke aside, I hope Zinch will shine in his midfield role. He's deserved this chance.

I can see us struggling for goals with this team. No Kevin, Gundo, Mahrez, Foden. Torres not playing much, Sterling off form, Jesus off side.

Hard to see much chances created or scored.

As posted earlier,The games that follow are one off "Fuck up and you're out" games. City have a cushion in the Prem, so if risks are to be taken, this is the one
Also, we have a 1st team bench to bring on where needed, if needed.

Am disappoiunted but can see the rationality behind the selection.

[blues2win]

COME ON CITY!!

[carl_feedthegoat]

Happy (ish) with that team, all things considered , apart from the lump on the left.

[nottsblue]

Though certainly no where near full strength, this is still a very decent line up. Fancy 2-0, Jesus

Agree, normally I would be well annoyed with that line up, but in the circumstances it could be seen as best use of resources

[CTID Hants]

Is Mendy even on the pitch?

[Harry Dowd scored]

We look a bit open at the back

[nottsblue]

Offside, but what a howler from Mendy. Put the ball in the net then let the officials make the decision

[PeterParker]

What the actual fuck is wrong with our pitch?

[nottsblue]

What the actual fuck is wrong with our pitch?

Mendy is on it

[Harry Dowd scored]

We look disjointed but what do you expect with all the changes

[Harry Dowd scored]

Mendy is on it

[Dubciteh]

Mendy asleep for the millionth time already....raphina is class he is in for a long day

[Harry Dowd scored]

Have we got a fucking left back? Good job Ake was awake then

[s1ty m]

We look horribly exposed on the left. Mendy is out of position.
