But of course he has to be available against us 
What I saw KDB do in 25 minutes against Newcastle is the definition of elite player.
He has to be in.

Rice against multiple opponents this year???
We paid around 60m for those players but Man City paid more than that just for De Bruyne.
And will probably score as well

Ridiculous and biased combined XI. FWIW, Gabriel M. has been more impressive than any CB in the Premier League this season. No contest.
The correct combined XI is as follows:
Ederson
White* - Stones - Gabriel - Ake
Rodri - Rice - Odegaard*
Saka - Haaland - Foden
*KDB has barely played this season, so canāt include him here imho.
*Debating White v. Walker here
In all honestly, Iām tempted to put our entire back line there; theyāve all been instrumental in us having the best defence in the league.

Heād be taking Odegaardās slot.
YEah i guess it depends on how you construct the list - but for me Ode and Rice could easily be on team of season for the premier league and i just canāt see KDB on that. heās had good moments, but only played what? 6 games? and has lost a stepā¦ anyhoo, it is one of those fun debates.

Itās not a team of the season itās just combined XI and anyone not putting KDB in the best XI of the two teams is fucking mad.
Not much wrong with the XI they put out tbf, Iād debate White over walker and thatās it.
If this is not team of season, how you would put Ake on this team?
If it is team of this season.
No way KDB should be on.

Ake is probably the best left back between both the teams, who else would you suggest?

As I suggested, three at the back.
They play inverted full back anyway, so it is not really traditional four at the back.
Rice deserves the spot than you make a mentioned āleft backā.
Talk about defenseman, Gabriel, Saliva, Stones, Dias and even White all better than Ake.
Ok, I mean wouldnāt be for me but sure.
KDB is undoubtedly in either way.
They are too coward to not include KDB, who only play part time this season.
As big as this game is, itās not the decider in the title race, no matter what the result. And that should take some of the pressure off of us. Also, the fact that we are still in the CL makes a big difference.
I just hope the players play the game for what it is and donāt let the external noise get to them. We can beat City. Our defence is mean and our attack is flourishing. City have a great record at home but at some point someone has to knock them off their perch. Why canāt that be us?
COYG!!

I sometimes daydream before big games, visualising who might be the hero for us. Havertz with a pivotal goal to truly cement his importance to our team in the eyes of all our fans? Martinelli with a big game performance and goal? Ćdegaard with a 25 yard banger? Gabriel with a towering set piece header?
Weāve got so many weapons in this team. We are totally good enough to go to the Etihad and hold our own.
No matter what the result today, our big game record against our title rivals will be the best. Currently on 7 points from 9. City can achieve a maximum of 5 with a win. Liverpool have got 3 points lol. We could go 10 from 12. Thatās what fucking champions do.
Weāre a fucking good team people. Letās show all the bastards and the doubters what weāre all about today, ey?
