I concur. Happy with this selection. It’s good enough to beat Brighton comfortably, let’s be honest. It’s in our hands so let’s show the watching world just why we are champions

Agree with Bern in the centre 100% but we need to just leather than full pelt, and with Maza he'll slow the play right down
They're gonna sit back anyway, so Sané wouldn't get much space to use his pace. Better to bring him on when they're tired.

I think Mahrez might be playing for a place here next season

Mahrez will receive the ball, move a little bit and then pass it backwards and inside. He's a pile of shite and this is a potential big hairy bollock dropped.
After the ball was centred, after the whistle blew...

I just played a seven a side match with a bad cold. Had two beers, but it feels likes six. Don't know if I will stay awake until the final whistle

This is going to be a long 90 minutes.
Mahrez?
It’ll be a slow build up.

Using this game to see whether he's good enough for the Premier League Asia Trophy in July, I reckon...
Could be written that he'll bang a hat trick and be the hero of the day?

Doesn't matter about the size of the game mate Foden's been awful last 2games. No question

Marhez playing puts Bernando in the middle and Sterling on the left. I like both of them in those spots.

They seem be be practicing shooting from the edge of the box a lot in the warm up. May well come down to that again if we struggle past the parked bus

Agreed. He'd do well at Brighton.

I should have added "in the light of his performance in the last games".
I.e. I totally agree with you.

Really? Ive found Bernardo to be FAR better on the right than he is centrally. He's still good but not as involved when he's in the middle.

Just thinking about the Mahrez selection, it might just fuckup Hughtons game plan.

Fortunately I didn't see their game on Tuesday as I was flying at the time so I managed to ignore his barrage of texts (just deleted them on landing).
We have to win today and then I can forget the way we've faltered to the line with the recent flat 1-0 wins and look forward to next season where we return to free flowing creative 2 or 3 goals a game that we all love.
Then next weekend a convincing win against Watford in the FA Cup will do us nicely.
All I want to say to my mate this aftie is "there is still a good chance you'll end the season with nothing as usual" just to shut him up, sadly it won't though.....
C'MON CITY
Weird! No footie fans in the pub when I left, just one other blue, and two blokes hoping to watch the Grand Prix
You're a better man than me watching it with a Scouse fan!! I'd end up doing life.
I'm going for a pre-match pint at 1pm in a pub which will be full of rags, be interesting to see what they say. Coming home to watch it on my own though, just in case!
