    no Alleyne on the bench kinda surprises me given that both Ake and especially Stones are injury prone

  2. Good enough, I’m happy. Would’ve preferred NOR in midfield and RAN at LB but I suppose that’s good enough for some balance, they’d tear us apart

    Good lineup, but I swear if we see Semenyo as a 10 again instead of Cherki…

    Why would we not start in form Ait Nouri? He’s been one of the few bright spots recently

  5. Low-Summer-304 on

    Thought Stones would be on honestly and read that Cherki had been ruled out with injury so that’s a happy one.

  6. I would love this lineup except for Bernardo. He’ll run in circles, slow the play, pass backwards, lose the ball then make petulant foul and act surprised. Pep’s insistence on him playing every possible minute has been a big reason for our lackluster season. This could have been so much more. 

  7. Not mad at Ake starting. He’s excellent defending and attacking the goal on set pieces.

    Once again, we have absolutely no midfield. More than likely to lose because of this

    With Dias out with an injury, ake next to khusa is *fine* I guess. But I do not like nico at LB, that scares me

  10. Not one for negativity but I just cannot be fucking arsed with the Arsenal corners, can just sense a deflection off an Arsenal player that is a city goal kick, it gets given as an Arsenal corner and they score from it

    Would have preferred RAN at LB – maybe NOR’s physicality will be needed? as long as he learns from his mistakes in the match away to RM.

    Today is all about taking your chances……

    Come on City

    90 minutes of watching Ake run for his life, getting to his top speed of 11 km/h.

    I really hope O’Riley stays focused today. His moments of weakness are usually heavily punished (valverde, and Chelsea come to mind).

  14. Banned_and_Boujee on

    Once again, no defensive partner for Rodri against a top side. Hope we score 4 today, because we’re giving up at least 3.

  15. Weird to not have RAN starting and no Alleyne on bench
    Defensive cover feels very thin

    i get the bernardo workrate angle but honestly nico g fights for the shirt every time he’s out there and i don’t like how he’s been treated the second half of the season

    Haaland when he ask semenyo for a pass:

  18. Personally i’d have Ait nouri over O’reilly and Stones over Ake but apart from that its about our best. Worried about how much of a liability O’reilly was at left back against Madrid though.

    Hopefully if Haaland isn’t doing much Marmoush will go on so there is a little bit of change
