Feel genuinely sorry for anyone travelling to Manchester today. Possibly going to be as close to Stoke away that dreadful season as we’ve been for some time. Genuinely fear this will be a biggest defeat we’ve ever suffered…..

 

There will be no holding back for city today, it’s a golden chance for the to get three points and batter their goal difference. Anything less than 4-0 will be a victory haha.

I will put you down as "undecided"

It's not just the training ground, our injuries under him were quote prolific prior to us moving in there so I'm more inclined to look at that and also his track record at others clubs which is bad and the common denominator is Rodgers and his training methods.

what are his methods?  The players rock up each week as it they are meeting for the first time. (Except kevin, who always picks out vardy)

Hard to see past anything but an extremely heavy defeat. Even if we just pack the defence and basically don't go in their half with our defence we will still let in at least 5 in my opinion. 

Wonder how many more injuries we will pick up in the match itself.

[Ashley]

IF the team is the team I've been told then there could be a new record today in the PL.

 

Schmeichel

 

Albrighton

Amartey

Vestegaard

Thomas

 

Soumare

KdH

Maddison

 

Lookman

Iheanacho

Perez

 

I really really hope it's wrong

Yeah this has been widely circulated so more than likely this will be it.

 

We're litteraly defending our own record here.

[OrielCaziado]

My only positive after today is that at least we have played these twice now.

I’m coming on Tuesday- I’m ok with that line up 

 

sorry to those of you going today ……

 

actually, on reflection what players can come in on Tuesday!

[StanSP]

Yeah that line up doesn't do much in the way of hope at all. Cos that's all we really have right now anyway

 

We might create a few opportunities but that's probably about as good as it gets. 

[LCFCCHRIS]

Wack £10000 on man city at 1 to 6 at that 🤣

[StanSP]

Man City -4 handicap is 13/2.

 -5 is 14/1...

[Hammo]

We haven’t failed to score in our last 15 Premier League away games.

 

Nor have we kept a clean sheet in any of those 15 games.

 

I wonder which of those two runs is favourite to end today…

So it could be 11-1?

[BroughtonFox]

So does anyone know the Man City line up so I can transfer in an attacker for my fpl please  

[CosbehFox]

6-1 Arsenal on Boxing Day vibe. Shame it’s not kicking off at noon like that game and get the pain over/done with

Not even any pace up front to try to catch them on the break. Dear God, this is just too awful to contemplate. I wouldn't fancy that team to beat Stevenage away in the Cup, let alone Man City away. 

 

Where's Wilf?? Didn't think he was supposed to be unavailable? 

 

On the bright side there is no Bertrand at least!

Over 7.5 goals is 18/1 I think that's worth a tenner 

[Oshhhh]

Is daka not available?? 

[Corky]

Let's just get it done and over with.

[adejo92]

A bit gutted I'm out for a meal and won't be able to watch this one.

 

Reckon it will be a right laugh. Hope Kasper packs his back brace, he'll need it the amount of times he'll be picking the ball out of his net.

Manchester City haven't dropped any PL points since October, so maybe today could be the day. Occasionally, they fluff their lines at home when expected to win easily. If it's 0-0 at HT, then we might sneak a draw or even a narrow win. If they're ahead or behind at HT, we'll stand no chance of even a point.

[RonnieTodger]

We’re 22/1 to win. 
 

Players need to be licking door handles to get this and Liverpool called off 

[Corky]

The annoying thing is that even the reserve midfield/ attack doesn't look too bad really. And a defence with international players like Vestergaard shouldn't be the shambles that it is likely to be.

 

Any side we put out should be competitive, even against top sides.

[twister]

my view this game is nearly unwinnable

 

So throw in half the 23's and just get it over with 

 

goal difference isnt a huge deal the lads are not getting relegated 

[RonnieTodger]

Could be a dark few days in our history coming up against two of the best teams in the world
