But Pep called it "a final" a few days ago.unreal DGAF energy from Stones
Except that City has bought most officials.Probably works in our favour, most Pool fans don't take us seriously so if they're fixing it they're fixing it against City.

Why do we always get the worst ones for the big games?
Going by this guy's record he should have no business being the VAR for such a massive game, he's guaranteed to make one questionable call this guyWhy do we always get the worst ones for the big games?

Martinelli is definitely out for a while if you read between the linesGenuinely surprised by this, I was under the assumption that all 3 would be fine for Sunday. Very worrying.
Trossard is our best finisher though and has much better final ball than Martinelli. He may not beat his fullback for pace. But he is much more likely to provide a decisive moment than Martinelli. That’s why he has much better goal/assist per minute ratio than MartinelliTrossard Wing shifts in the run in will be one horrible sight to behold, as an opposition fullback what do you have to worry about when facing Trossard if he's not near the penalty box, most times he'll be wide holding with to a conservative LB in Kiwior who definitely will not go past the halfway line at the Etihad when they can play Bernardo Silva on the wings or Foden.
We're all critical of Martinelli and his weaknesses in his game but that raw pace is something we lack completely and is needed in the run in + UCL. Doesn't help Jesus another transitional threat has crocked knees but i would have not wanted to him to start at the Etihad as he'll get 'lil-broed' once again (watch him and Zinny last season, they mentally checked out).
Raya, Havertz and Rice this 3 signings can be used to beat City (long ball and stopping transitions) but without Gab-Saliba partnership it's a tough ask?
I don’t think anything but a win helps us. A point is ok. But honestly with our difficult league schedule we need 3 points or we aren’t going to win league
Let's hope he's sh*t stirring
