staggering KDB can't make the team ahead of Savinho & Doku.

He's obviously hanging on with an injury. Like Ake, Akanji, Stones, Dias, Ederson have been, at least. Touch and go if those selected can finish.

Surely you realise it's not just a 'selection' issue?

Been training for months. He’s not injured. Pep has openly said he doesn’t know the issue

What a 'selection issue' (and my name's not Shirley )

He doesn’t want to pick up a long term injury and scupper a summer move


Get some money in January for him whilst we can

Your Boxing Day City side

XI | Ortega Moreno, Lewis, Akanji, Ake, Gvardiol, Kovacic, Bernardo (C), Savinho, Foden, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Carson, Brits, De Bruyne, Gundogan, Simpson-Pusey, Mubama, Alleyne, O'Reilly, McAtee

#ManCity | Etihad Airways

That bench fills me with dread. Pep doesn’t like to use subs at the best of times, let alone with 6 Academy boys on there.

[nottsblue]

Everton are 10/1 on Betfair. Worth a sniff that is

Doku and Savio for me. Utter gash.

[salford city]

No point in Haaland going up top with Doku and Savio starting. He is never seeing the ball let alone getting it. May as well cover as cb. McAtee "great" in the pockets from Pep's lips - righto mate must not be another game where he could be useful

Peps first 11 for the last couple of months filled me with dread and for good reason.

At least his best mate is on the bench and Walker has been dumped....I see the penny finally fucking dropped.

Then they must be really terrible

Just checked and 1-0 Everton is 38/1

Lets be honest here...Do you really believe anything that comes out of PePs mouth ? its one lie after another.

Walker not well according to Pep

[CTID Hants]

Bernardo tends to lose his head when given the arm band, guaranteed yellow card in first half for him.

[city72]

Stones walker grealish can all fuck off dick note down tool cunts, I’d have them helping the ground staff and picking litter at end of the game

[nottsblue]

COME ON BLUE BOYS

Stones walker grealish can all fuck off dick note down tool cunts, I’d have them helping the ground staff and picking litter at end of the game

And selling pies at half times. Wouldn’t have them on a bar as they would just drink the fucker dry

[blues2win]

COME ON CITY!!!!!!
