Not afraid of this lot at all.
Jesus will walk between us tonight.
And if he don't, Aguero will.
I just hope Gueye and Schneiderlin can contain Silva and De Bruyne.
I'd play Davies in there over Klaassen too, the boy will be buzzing after the last time he faced City.

Pickford
Martina Keane Williams Baines
Gueye Schneiderlin
Davies
Rooney Sigurdsson
Sandro​

Then on Thursday

Stekelenburg
Martina Holgate Jagielka Baines
Gueye Besic
Lennon Klaassen Mirallas
DCL​
 
If I was a city fan watching them at home tonight, I'd be expecting 3-0 or more with the attack they've got. This'll be our hardest game of the season, other than our annual tummy tickling at Anfield.
 
City usually blitz the first six games and look unbeatable. On their day they could trounce anyone with their attacking options.

I've long thought they have a soft centre and I'm not sure they'll ever be good defensively while Guardiola is manager.

I hope we can trouble them and make the most of any opportunities, which would be easier with an experienced, quality focal point up top. Midfielders have an important role tonight.

Honestly, I think their defence is poor, I'm expecting lots of goals, hopefully we score more!
 
I'd rather not play Martina but after his half decent performance the other night he's pretty much nailed on (deservedly) to play

Pickford
Keane Jags Williams
Martina Gana Sniderlin Baines
Klaassen
Rooney Sandro

Suspect your spot on with this. Ideally we need Lookman playing though to try and hit them on the break.

That should be the side, unless he wants to start Siggy, but i dont think he will,

Is Sandro defo fit?
 
I think we (fans) should give Klaassen the benefit of the doubt to start tonight. Although i still don't feel he's cutting the mustard / hasn't yet settled he was involved in two of the goals against Banana Split. However it is a shame to see Davies sitting on the sidelines but... Gana & Schneido are absolutely solid. What yer gonna do!?
