Match Day Thread Manchester City FC v Sunderland AFC - Saturday 6th December 2025 - KO 15:00

We can’t sacrifice the City game to have Granit and Noah available for Mags.

In reality that’s just our own personal concerns and it wouldn’t be professional as a football club.

They should both play. We have enough to compete with the Mags even in a worst case scenario.

 

They have to play this weekend. Can't have them missing against City's midfield.

 

I disagree if Xhaka and Sadiki are unavailable. Our central midfield would be lifting

 

Le Fee and Geertruida is hardly lifting if both Sadiki and Xhaka missed the game, still gives us Rigg off the bench, Neil and possibly Diarra if he is fit for a cameo

 

Would be seriously over ran up against Joelinton, Bruno and Tonali. Xhaka and Sadiki MUST play.

 

They are a good midfield 3 granted, but not the be all and end all of midfields

 

Wouldn’t fancy Rigg or Neil coming in to start, that’s for sure. Let’s see what happens tomorrow, I’m nervous about the card situation.

 

What we will be will be. One game at a time and trust RLB, the coaches and the lads

 

It would be mint if Wilson could do a Jiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

If he could sort his feet out after the other night. Still foaming he didn’t just whack it

 

Being that negative must be so soul destroying

 

Realistic*

roll on that trip to Manchester tomorrow Ha’way the lads.

 

Sorry mate, but thats not realisitic, its down right negative.

A Dutch international and ELF is not in anyway shape or form "lifting" in my humble opinion

 

Naughty naughty .

 

Entitled to your opinion but I really rate Geertruida, ELF has been superb recently.

I don’t see that as lifting at all. Diarra expected to be available too, although clearly won’t be fully fit.

They aren’t prime Barca. City is a much harder game.

Granit is smart enough to be clever tomorrow anyway, they’ve had 4 bookings in 14 they hardly walking yellows.
