      F**k the coach welcomes for this, we need to turn up and make pure f**king noise for this game, rattle these tw*ts to the core, make that Bravo a nervous wreck.

      Yeah coach welcome seems a bit weird 12 games into a league campaign - Everybody should just focus on getting into the ground early instead. There's always talk about filling the Kop half an hour before kick off for certain games but it never really seems to materialize any more.

      One thing that I've only just realized is that it'll be under the floodlights with the kick off being 4:30PM so that should work in our favour in terms of getting the atmosphere going

      The only coach we need to concentrate on Sunday is the one Pep is likely to park on the pitch.

      I'm intrigued with how Pep is gonna field his 11. No Rodri is a massive boost for us as it means Gundogan plays that holding role. And bcos of that I feel he might go with a back-3 of Walker-Fernandinho-Stones with Cancelo and Mendy as his wing backs, to try peg back our full backs.

      Ederson
      Walker Fern Stones
      Cancelo Kdb Gundg B Silva Mendy
      Sterling Aguero

      With Cancelo and Mendy higher up the pitch, Trent and Robbo are restricted which means we need more drive from the midfield. Now if thats Pep's plan to block our channels (a similar set up to the UCL 2nd leg), we have GOT TO start Ox ahead of Hendo, and if we do that, I feel Mane starts on the right to give more protection to that right hand side.

      Bobby Salah Mane
      Gini Fab Ox
      Robbo Virgil Lovren Trent
      Alisson

      Subs: Adrian, Gomez, Lallana, Hendo, Milner, Keita, Origi

      Doubt if they'll play a cagey game like last season where their intent was to not give us turnover chances. They're coming here for a win and will take the game to us from the word Go!

      Apologies if already posted but Ederson is out. Muscle injury.

      Ederson out is  a big plus for plus, he is every bit as important for them as Allison is for us, perhaps even more so as he is so good at distributing the ball, not that Allison isn't but we don't really rely on it as much as they do.

      I’m sure City will adapt in the same way we did when Allison was out.

      If by adapting you mean being less stable in defence and conceding goals then I certainly hope you are right ;-)

      The mancs know what they are in for and Pep trying to soften the loss already with his correct statement about us being the strongest team in the world.

      Come on Sunday already!

      Good chance Ederson plays IMO. Remember De Gea was meant to be ruled out of the game against us but played.

      Would look very silly after saying what he has. Might be wrong but Lizard never said De Gea was out just Pogba

      Think Pep cares what people think? Was quite happily calling us divers as soon as their game finished.

      I want us to be at full throttle for this their defense won’t be able to cope with us. Atalanta were unlucky once they started taking the game to them and that was before the sending off.

      Have a feeling Mane will be we up for it and could run riot.

      I think we are vulnerable at the moment. I havent been convinced at all by any of our performances this season. Always found we have had lots of possession and salah hasnt been anywhere near his last 2 seasons.

      Nothing to do with the spirit. It's just an opinion. Doesn't mean he wants us to lose.

      Actually, I am same too. I do think we have recently become a team to let in a goal (perhaps to make it interesting for the opposition  ;D) which is not good against team line Shitty.

      I see this as a draw,  most likely 1-1.

      Why does everything boil down to Salah? See people saying how they aren’t convinced about the team this season but it’s like they have to get in that extra little bit about Salah 2 seasons ago. For a man having a rough time of it, he’s still got 8 goals and about 5 assists. Guess what, he was never going to replicate 40+ goals, name a player that has hit 40 goals in more than one season as a player from the Premier League.

      Perhaps not Premier League but if you want consistently high quality and goals look no further than Messi, Ronaldo and in the premier league I'd argue that you have Aguero who has been consistently good almost every season he's played.
      Salah is not even close to the level he was in that first season but he's still a very good player and has the magic to conjure a goal out of nothing, I just hope he can regain his mojo sooner rather than later.
