Typical City goal that too. The directness of their wingers is essential for their success.

Was always under the impression it was Juve or no one else.

Pedro is for sure starting.

This loan restriction may be a blessing in disguise for us.

It's a pretty disciplined role. That alone makes Luiz incapable imo

Very mature for his age and has already accomplished a lot. Can play both LB and RB. Plays LB for the national side. At this moment in time, he would not be worth any risk. Great going forward (was initially a winger). Already developing into a solid fullback.

This has been going on since 2015. Such sheer incompetence and wastefulness from the board. It only begs the question, has anyone been sacked for this? The Drinkwater deal alone is a sackable offence.

He'd get an aneurysm from being unable to process the quick decision making Callejon is capable of.

You've honestly can't say he's improved at all with us. He is the same player now from when he first joined. It's starting to become clearer and clearer why we do so poorly in Europe these past several years. We accept mediocrity.

Well we are struggling to score atm. Not defending. Hence why he needs to fuck off from the starting XI

Such a good lineup this. Pedro and CHO should be rotated. Willian should only be brought on when we are defending a lead.

Kovacic played there for Real a couple times If i remember

The notion that Sarri doesn't rotate should of died after the Forest match

No one better other than KDB currently.

Our record against United in this competition shouldn't be ignored. They haven't beaten us in the FA Cup since 1999 17/18 FA Cup Final 16/17 FA Cup 6th Round 12/13 FA Cup 6th Round 06/07 FA Cup Final Now everyone knock on wood after you've read this

It's actually incredible how City continue to dodge tough opposition in the cups.

FIFA/UEFA trying to take the moral high ground. It's like seeing Hitler tell Stalin to stop sending people to the Gulags.

It is evident the club is run by businessmen vs football experts. Who ever they invest in, they will tell the manager they must play given the club wasted resources on them. It couldn't be more evident. It's only when our academy players are in the limelight do they realise something is actually there. And even then, it takes a threat from that player for the club to respond. They are not football people. That is why a director of football is an absolute must. Particularly one of Sarri/Zola's choosing. RLC does well at the world cup. RLC threatens to leave the club, gets more playing time. Get's interest from Bayern. CHO threatens to leave the club, will probably now get more playing time. Mind boggeling how certain players are still here when these players are responsible for why we have done so poorly in Europe over the years.

Who?

Won't change a thing unless he gets more game time than Willian and Pedro. As he should

I'd rather beat them in the final again.

So because he involuntarily killed someone, justifies him getting hurt? I'm confused

I'd like Ruben to get a run of games.

It was the same thing with Ivanovic under Mourinho. Could purposely score own goals yet will someone always get selected. Alonso is a limited footballer, so it isn't his fault to expect more from him with his obvious limitations. It isn't as if he isn't trying. Wishing for him to be injured when it's the manager who keeps picking him, is cruel. All at the same time ignoring what Alonso did for the club to begin with.

Ridiculous. So it's Alonso's fault he keeps getting selected?
