    Decent team. Son, Dele and Eriksen on the bench are great options, we'll be needing them at HT when we're 3-0 down.

    Good bench but There's ain't too shabby either <steam>

    I don't know how to feel about it...think we should be hungry enough to match them...we have a lot to prove.

    The flanks worry me...Sane v Trippier...Ffs

    Dembele going to need Beast mode Dembele tonight

    Audere Est Fack em up!

    Awful line up.

    Yet again the midfield looks so weak. Yet again I’m gonna moan about how ridiculous it is that we didn’t sign anyone in the summer when it’s clearly obvious we need 2 new centre midfielders.

    Dier, Sissoko and Dembele against Man City is probably the worst combination we could have.

    I’m fearing a rout tonight.

    The formation might work out for us if the following things all go right
    i.) Dier plays as a no-nonsense hatchet man like he does for England, with Lucas as his primary out ball
    ii.) The combination of Sissoko and What's Left Of Dembele coupled with the stodgy pitch serve to stifle Mansour FC's rhythm
    iii.) Poch uses his subs to change the game instead of maintain it, meaning players are introduced before the 82nd minute
    iv.) The referee actually pays attention to The Sheikh Mansour Team's ****ehousery and they're punished for it for a change
    v.) Nobody in The Sheikh Mansour Team xi thinks of just chipping the ball over the top for Aguero to run on to

    When has Poch ever made a proactive sub <laugh>

    It will be the usual, wait until 60-75 mins when the game is over before he makes a change.

    I’d rather it was “one strong starting 11!”

    Let’s all get excited about the players who aren’t on the pitch!! <laugh>

    Strange starting selection. Come on Poch, prove me horrendously wrong!

    Dembele for Sanchez in the 63rd minute against Fulham was probably the most recent example

    Yes, I am aware that was in August...

    The pitch is worst than I thought. Still has the remains of the lines from yesterday's games. Are we watching American football tonight?

    Apparently Poch's letting his son take charge for this one...
