So does @Bungle by the looks of it

This is, clearly, by far the best time to have played City in the last decade, probably. On a terrible run of form and their squad stretched to the limit when you look at their bench today.

And in saying that, we’re still only hopeful of a 0-0 draw at best in my opinion. Defensively we’ve been great over the last few weeks, United aside, but it’s an absolute scandal the lack of goals (or even the threat of scoring goals).

0-0 at best. Expecting a narrow-ish defeat. Get-right game, you feel, for some of their players, Haaland especially.

Nice to see Jack Harrison keeping his place for absolutely no reason whatsoever

I seen to remember Broja coming on and doing more in 20 minutes than this bum has done all season

Must have imagined it..

DCL starting = Dyche doesn't want to risk injury to Broja and is expecting us to get smashed.

Great. A front three of whom two couldn't hit a barn door. Hopefully they'll create holes for Ndiaye to run through.

You still get blues defending the decision by saying he 'runs around a lot' Absolutely atrocious footballer who wouldn't get a sniff in at Leeds.

Secret Santa before the players come out for their warm up.
No gifts for citeh lids.
DCL to outshine Halland please...and wind that gloot up..he bites.

 

[Bez2k2k]

Patterson surely on his way.

 

[Daytripper]

Despite how cack they have been I would take another drab draw to be honest. Can’t wait for the season to end .

Seriously how does Calvert Lewin keep getting picked!?

He literally offers nothing. Try something different.

City look dreadful but apart from being solid at the back so do we.

I can’t see us getting anything from this today. We just don’t have any goals in us.

 

[WA Toffee]

After watching the Chelsea game, I still haven't seen us lose a game all season.

Unfortunately I am taking my sister in law to the airport just when the game kicks off, so it's probably my fault if we lose today

 

[Gilbert..]

We also have the most clean sheets anywhere in the top European leagues since October. We are one of the most boring teams to watch for sure! With that in mind, I’m saying 3-2 City :/

Mainly due to we park the bus rather than the defence itself is great. Not having a single shot at Arsenals goal wasnt to be lorded in my view. But we've become a Sean dyche club. Some love that approach. Some dont.

Have you seen the alternatives?

To be fair, if I was only getting presented with one half chance every second game, my eye for goal would probably be a bit off too

 

[TrailerTrash]

Dyches refusal to try something different is by far his biggest annoying feature.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Dyche's mindset: "We'll keep it tight and tire them out, frustrate them then bring on Broja and Lindstrom after 75 minutes to try and nick it"

Reality: By 75 minutes we'll be at least 2 goals down.

 

[Lee Smith]

That has genuinely got to be the weakest starting XI / bench I have seen for Man City in absolute years. I’ve only heard of 3 of Man City’s subs, and one of them is a 53 year old goalkeeper.

City 5-0 Everton.
