Still amazes me Riyad is on pens

If you were Man city he wouldn't be in a penalty shoot out five for me, let alone the match penalty taker.

Just seen the lack of Mahrez pen. For such a phenomenal player, he must have the most dire record. I remember when they played Liverpool a few years ago and he stepped up, I told my mates in the pub (who were Man City fans) that he'd miss it. 

He has missed 10 in his career, three of the last four, he scored 9/10 before that for city, I still remember the unconfident feeling of his stepping up against Bournemouth in Dec 2015.

Remember a Mahrez pen for us at Man City once when it was ruled out as he slipped and double kicked it in!

[cruzFOX]

If haaland doesn’t play against us it’s one less thing to worry about. City are still dangerous and relentless. We need to be On our A game!

[SafewayFox]

Continued improvements of our previous deficits such as defending set pieces, cutting out silly individual errors and I’d take a loss against the best club in England without much anger.

Riyad is a spoilt little brat and probably has it stipulated in contract that he takes the penalties. Bizarre really when so much rides on these games.

Keepers must love going up against a Mahrez penalty. I remember when he was here his pens almost always were waist high, to the keepers right. Doesn't seem like he mixes that up much to this day

I wouldn't describe us as 'dangerous and relentless' just yet.

I mean. That’s just a baseless accusation. Other players have taken penalties for ManCity when he’s been on the pitch. We eventually ditched him as our penalty taker in favour of Vardy.

 

Inventing a contract stipulation so that you can attack him and call said figment of your own imagination “bizarre really” is weird as ****.

Haaland just been subbed at half time

He heard I was thinking of triple-captaining him this weekend, and has to be careful...

[StanSP]

Haaland and Cancelo 'doubts' for this game. 

 

Just need KDB to pick up a knock from a robust Rodri challenge in training and then we may have a chance

If cancelo is out they are pretty much without any real full backs. Can see us sitting in and trying to break through Vardy and Barnes like we did when we won at their place.

 

wouldn’t surprise me if Mendy is in for Bouba

And that I'd brought in Cancelo 🙄

[BenTheFox]

We are going to get executed. 

[RumbleFox]

4-3 to them. Mahrez winning penalty in the last minute.

Hope its not the third instalment of bully boy stewards acting up in SK1.

[CosbehFox]

Never really get tanned off Man City at our places. Apparently not huge fans of playing here. 

 

Won't matter like because unless they have a seriously bad day. They will keep the ball and it's like a slow death. 

 

Past league games at KP have been:-

 

2021/22: 1-0 Bernando Silva - fortunate winner 

2020/21: 2-0 Man City - two second half goals, Amartey wallops KDB 

2019/20: 1-0 Man City - late Jesus winner

2018/19: 2-1 Leicester - the peak of Puel

2017/18: 2-0 Man City

I think they should focus their attentions elsewhere and start checking old biddies flasks for booze or whether the material of their blankets were made by child labour or not. No place for it in the gaaaaame.

- Writing notes on supporters

- Filming the section for the 90

- wading in to take banners off supporters

- Antagonising aggressive behaviour 

- Repeated checks of tickets
