There are some on here that really don't understand top level football. City will be full on against us and Madrid next Tuesday. Stop the silly clutching.

[Sydney_Iron]

City will be deflated you would think, if that makes them angry or harder to get a point or even 3 from then fuck knows.

Our record against them if abysmal to say the least and about time we got something and a slice of luck, surely if Forest can do it at their place, then we can at home, they have been upset a few times this season and so i hope we go out and have a real go, show no respect, they may have lost 3-0 to RM but won't be the first time such a margin has been overturned, FWIW they will have an eye on next week's return leg and it may well be to our benefit.

Fingers crossed.

Looks like we’ll be playing an angry Man City without our best player

Bowen not available, then?

[Browno22]

You are usually missing Romero or van de ven so I wouldn't sweat it ferret son

[Slim Shady]

Don’t want Magassa anywhere near the starting 11 thanks

It’s not good! We need them in it 

They still have an outside chance of the league, so can't see them easing up in the weekend game no matter the result tonight. 

But if they get it to 3-2 they might rest our nemesis Haaland

[Tomshardware]

That was a superb goal.  English sides not doing too well this week.

[happygilmore]

Man city 3 down already. Tie over.

Pep might drown in his own spit.

Haaland non existent these days but will he bag his usual couple of goals against us
 

[twoleftfeet]

Fuck me City are being destroyed 

[Browno22]

Not AWOL tonight ferretspur?

Think Nuno will go 5 at the back, no way can he drop Mav after Monday. I'd like to see Kante start but don't think it will happen;


              HERMANSEN
AWB  MAV  DISASI  TODIBO  DIOUF
         SOUCEK  FERNANDES
            BOWEN     TATY
                 FELIPE/WILSON

We need Man City to keep in touch with Real Madrid so that they rest a few. 

[kylay]

Summerville having a knock for City and Villa, missing international duty, and coming back rested for the run-in might not be the worst thing to happen. Certainly would rather he stayed healthy. We're going to be in quite a spot of bother if it's any longer than that.

[Sir Alf]

As an aside and opinions and all that but even though Taty has scored 3 headed goals, he is not anywhere near as effective for the overall team as Pablo who has yet to net? 

He makes some touches and passes here and there but generally on the periphery of the game? Perhaps since he’s been up top centrally alone is the issue? Maybe just perception and stats say different? 

Dont get me wrong he starts because we dont have a decent alternative but the “young athletic carthorse” that is Pablo really helps us with his pressing and physical presence even if he is awaiting delivery of a banjo with which to hit a cows arse

[El Scorchio]

There was talk that Summerville came on because Traore was injured or had some fitness concern. Would be classic West ham if they were both out but you can only deal with the cards as they are dealt. 

It was mentioned on the commentary on Monday that we've banned Traore from lifting weights 

Out of material then I see. 

Saying that, you have been for months.

[fraser]

Could Taty play left with Pablo up front in a 4-3-3? 

Soucek, Fernandes and one of Potts, Magassa or Kante behind them.

[dealcanvey]

what not be surprised to see 3 cbs against City now that Summerville is out

[Mad Ferret]

Hammer News has Summerville out for City and Villa , Diouf in front of Scarles on the left could be an option,   

Mayers over Scarles.

[Manuel]

Far from ideal but injuries are part and parcel and we have had a good run in recent times. Just have to hope he is back when they say and he doesn't get the Alan Devonshire flu again.

I'm backing Traore to step up.
