at the blades

XI | Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho (C), Laporte, Rodrigo, Zinchenko, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Sterling, G Jesus.

SUBS | Bravo, Gundogan, Aguero, Bernardo, Cancelo, Foden, Garcia.

Laporte is back in an unusually defensive 11. Come on City.

[KunDB]

Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho (C), Laporte, Rodrigo, Zinchenko, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Sterling, G Jesus.

SUBS | Bravo, Gundogan, Aguero, Bernardo, Cancelo, Foden, Garcia.

No Stones anywhere (thank goodness). Welcome back LaPorte.

Sadly no Foden start.

C'mon City

[The Blue Blooded Maniac]

Laporte at left back by the looks and Zinchenko in the middle with Kev?

[KunDB]

Good grief Pep can be weird.

[Hesperus]

We’re our own worst enemy. Have we not learned by now that Jesus is not very good at pens??

[Hesperus]

Blades are being seriously dirty and targeting Laporte. Another bad challenge on Fernandinho there. They could have had 2 reds.

[gavin]

Not the greatest first half but we could be a couple ahead. We need to add the finishing touches second half.

Fernys bound to get sent off
Sterling really has been shit the past 2 months.

Get Dave on asap

[Hesperus]

Agree about Sterling. His form has really dropped drastically.

[gavin]

Yep, Sterling off form for a bit. The assistant referee had no excuse for not spotting the keeper off the line.

[Hesperus]

Laporte looking good. We’ve missed him badly.

[reddishblue]

All my steaming links have fucked up tonight. Anyone know the score?

[reddishblue]

Just heard through the grapevine it's 1 nil. Who scored?

[Hesperus]

Sergio.

[Hesperus]

Came on to Show Jesus how to do it.

[reddishblue]

Ta.

[reddishblue]

Was it a penno?

[Hesperus]

No. Good cross from the right by KDB and Sergio perfectly positioned at the far post.

[Hesperus]

It’s no secret I’m no fan of Jesus. Thought he was poor up front on his own again tonight.

[Hesperus]

Mason is a bad, bad referee.
