    So, today's the day City get to fill their ground. They'll still no doubt be silent while the away support make all the noise but that's fine, they can have their #massive club badge today as there won't be an empty seat.

    Decimated by injuries, I can't see us getting much out of the game but would like to see us at least try.

    My team would be;

    Onana
    Dalot
    Varane
    Kambwala
    Struggling with left back tbh. Amrabat out of desperation.
    Mainoo
    Casemiro
    Fernandes
    Rashford (on the left)
    Garancho or Antony on right
    McTominay as centre forward. Stick it up to the big man. Amad possibly otherwise.

    Slim pickings.

    for some reason if i was ETH i would consider shoving Anthony in as CF as he is willing to work to harrass defenders and gives you 3 fast(ish) forwards and City are always vulnerable to a quick break

    A sign of how far we've fallen behind is that the majority of us are anticipating a loss rather than holding out for a result. I wish JR had kept his 'perch' comments until the end of the season as I suspect there may be a price to pay today.

    Oh look at that front three <doh>

    What is it, the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

    This typifies ETH's limitations, the formation doesn't work, yet he persists with it. We're on a hiding to nothing so why not change it around, try something different, even try different players in the side, but no. Same old, same old, City know exactly what's coming at them before the whistle has blown.

    Yeah, a bit crap that one.

    Were under the pump generally but some decent break aways. We need another.

    At least.
