Just heard Maresca presser, said they all said they are ok, only Semenyo needs to be evaluated.
NO mention to the 12 mins disgrace...

Personally just hope at least Erling and Nunes will be rested on Tuesday.
We can make AEK with a few of the youngsters who covered themselves with glory in the league cup.
Don't ride the luck please !

We'll be fine. Foden, Kova and Bouaddi are all quality players. Ndiaye has fantastic work rate and O'Reilly will no doubt be stepping into midfield to help as well.

Bouaddi will be Kovas legs for him.

Sensible changes for me, important we win in Tuesday after the PSG defeat and were bringing in players that start for nearly over other team on the league

Told you we'd be ok. Goal for Phil and decent assist for Kova.

We made life difficult for ourselves by being a bit sloppy at the back, Guehi not in his best form but seen enough in him for us last season and England at the world cup to hope he'll get his mojo back.

I still think Khus and Gvardiol would be our best partnership, especially against weaker teams who try to counter us.

I really think our squad is as strong as it's been for years , I bet Pep must feel a bit jealous looking at the depth and legs we have now compared to the last couple of years.

Bouaddi is an absolute world beater. Hard to believe he is so young. I also think Enzo is managing him well at the moment, we don't want to burn him out, it will soon become impossible not to have him as the first name on the team sheet (as previously mentioned I think him and Anderson in tandem will be unstoppable).

I think we have a fantastic squad, the best by a mile in the PL but we have one weak link and that’s Donna. Great shot stopper (most of the time) but his distribution is fucking atrocious, he gives possession away a dozen times every game with his hoofing habit. We dropped a massive clanger in letting Trafford go, a far better goalkeeper in my humble opinion. . Discuss.

Tbh, I always thought the great shot stopper aura is a tad hyped. Italy has a long tradition of great goalkeepers but Donnarumma is not one of them. He can have great days at stopping shots, like at Klanfield, but has always been inconsistent.
Always said that letting Trafford go was a collective brain fart, given the style of play City have always aimed to since Mancini and moreso Pep.
As for the rest of the team it goes without saying, it's there for everyone to see. Only 2 top top FBs might improve furthermore.
