Pre Match EPL Man City (H) - February 8th 16:30

Warning for Dee!

Yeah the titles arsenals now.

This isn't the city for 3/4 years ago. This one's shite with a clinical finisher

Just give it up. Arsenal will not throw it away from here.

I need to hold on to the possibility. The schadenfreude if Arsenal blow it will be next level !

 

[Hansern]

Would be back to back years without a league title for Pep. First time as a coach.

And most likely his last season at City. I wonder if he decides to honor the last year of his contract if they end up winning nothing.

 

[Momo]

He’s going at the end of the season. Get your 20p on it.

Yeah, looks like it.

 

[SummerOnions]

See absolutely none of us are excited for this then

 

[SummerOnions]

Home as well. Should prob beat them but with Salah and Gakpo in this form its like playing 5 a side with your mates cousin who's up for the weekend and his ma made him come but he's got golf clubs for legs

 

[rubans]

Salah and Gakpo are doing ok, at very least providing width. It’s 11 man game, hopefully defense is ready and midfield do their job. Will be a tough game, must win for City.

I like that Guardiola said "we are playing the Champions this weekend - Arsenal are not the Champions, Liverpool are". Or words to that effect.

I don't like anything he says

I don't like anything he says

I like that he's not afraid to speak up on his political views at least

When it suits him. Happy to take UAE/Qatar's money prior to that with their human rights record.

Guardiola can be both right to speak out and a performative hypocrite | Barney Ronay

Coach should not ‘stick to football’ when football strays into politics and death but his role as fluffer for his club’s autocratic owners cannot be ignored

Two traffic cones could provide width if that's what you want...

Unless your traffic cones move up and down then no. Whom would you prefer in those positions instead with our current long set of injury prone players in the same positions?

 

[Momo]

We’re gonna win 3-2.

 

[Buddha]

Our front three plus Wirtz all to score…
4-1

Wirtz on the left with license to roam. Can sort of tolerate Salah on the right based on past performances.

Come on admit it, you are a little more excited to watch tomorrow's game now that we are giving it a go a bit more now.
We love the chaos and both teams do need to win, in theory both should be going for it. Anfield, 4.30 on a likely rain day. This is the football I love on paper.
