Injury hit City

[sufcboy95]

We’ve always got a chance, Liverpool last week proved that.
Especially with that City defence

I know I'm clutching at straws but they have been playing two matches per week for a while and are playing again next Tuesday, hopefully they might be feeling it.

Injury hit yeah, what's it coming to when they can only scrape together this team;

Average transfer fee for that lot: £45m and that's taking into account the two youth team players. Average for the nine bought in is over £54m. Each.

Our team on Saturday, assuming it's the same as against Liverpool, cost £75m. That's £3m more than Rodri alone.

One stat from last night. Pep has spent £400mill just on defenders at city!

[Rodley]

Shows how far we have come that Pep will be looking on at our frontline with a feeling of unbearable jealousy.

 

[MJM]

I'm pretty sure they'll manage to cobble together a side...

And they still look frail at the back

My turn to try and clutch at straws...

Their line up will be one of high quality individuals, no matter how patched up it may be - but will they be a side, on the same wavelength?

Our squad, whilst nowhere near theirs individually are a side and have been through a lot together and know our system inside out.

That is our hope.

with all these injuries man city will be down to their last 18 80 million plus players


thought Marseille were awful , gifted the first goal and defended terribly

Marseille were very poor not closing down not picking up players in actual fact they were unprofessional. United won’t be any of that

We won’t be unprofessional as a team no but Marseille weren’t awful at all, sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say when you’ve been beaten by a much better team on the night.

Man City’s work rate, pressing, closing down and speed of attack was unbelievable to watch, their first touch was fantastic, try not to think about us at all and our game against them on Saturday and rewatch the game again, Man City’s best performance in a long, long time, I bet Marseille was glad for the full time whistle.

Laporte is back and he’s world class, when he plays they look great at the back, Walker is playing as good as ever, Cancelo gets better and better, I’m not sure where this fallacy is of Man City being shite in defence. I do think we have a good chance if we perform to the best of our ability, although if they perform to theirs then there’s no contest.

All the more reason to upset em and the bloody pundits LOL

 

[Bruce Wayne]

9/1 with Bet Victor, had £10. Got a feeling we will get a win.

Laporte fit again? Was hoping for McBurnie to bully John Stones

 

[Rudders]

Agree he is hell of a player but Laporte won't play twice in a week I reckon. He's too important to them to risk that. Particularly coming back from an injury. City targeting Europe this year, there is hope.
