Match Day Thread Manchester Derby

City are playing in the Ukraine, just four days before the derby. They have Swansea next (do them) then Tottenham and away at Leicester after that. They'll be happy with a point taking all that into consideration, I imagine.

 

I think we'll beat them and then they possibly won't win at Leicester. Can also see Liverpool beating them but in the meantime we'll also drop points.

If we don't win Sunday I doubt we'll catch them as we will definitely **** up a la Huddersfield along the line.

 

If they're going to slip up, it probably has to be now tbh. If they're 8 points - or more - ahead at the end of January, it probably will be all over.

 

As long as De Bruyne is fit they'll keep winning. Haven't seen a midfielder like him since Zidane.

 

Lamela is back now though

 

That'll keep De Bruyne on his toes.

 

... but they still won ... that's 13 Prem wins in a row ... fancied us against them, we've started to click ... but they were fantastic ... hit the post at their end ... 4 passes later it was in our net ... and de Bruyne? ... wow ... just think they have by far the best squad ... and will also spend in Jan ... theirs to lose ... can't see it.

 

... was he playing at Watford?

 

Didn't start, came on in the last 15. His first appearance in God knows how long was against your lot and he grabbed an assist.

Lamela is a fine player once he's running smoothly

 

You disgust me,you’re morally bankrupt

 

... he also picks his boogers and eats them ...

 

...they beat us in the League a couple of weeks ago ... the game coming up is the Carabou QF ...

 

I forgot there's a City fan amongst us.

You reckon Pep will set out the United team for Jose then?

What will Pep advise Rashford before Jose throws him on?

 

Can't see past a draw at OT without the £90 million haircut.

 

Im just guessing here but

Has salah score and assisted more in one season than lolema has since joining spurs 4/5yrs ago?
No wum just curious

 

You could be at the top of your game and they'd still be expected to brush you aside. De Bruyne has been immense this season, him and Salah are the players that have really stood out, so far. Yeah, they've won 13 in a row, they aren't going to win them all, they have been stuttering in games lately and are facing their hardest game of the season. Jose will have Man Utd ready for this and I fancy them to win 1-0.

I still think City will win the league, but the gap will be closer than it is now, at the end of the season.

 

Probably but Salah didn’t miss two years with an injury which definitely wasn’t a drugs ban of any kind.

 

They won't stop us scoring, so I predict a few goals in this one. I have a feeling the ref will play centre stage in this one too.

 

It would make sense to add some thuggery to De Bruyne and see if you can stop him controlling the game. If Silva doesn't take up the reigns you could have some joy because for all the talent in the squad it only works because of those two.

 

So that confirms lamela is very very very average. Some might say plain ****e, not me tho
