    Greenwood should be playing, Martial’s had enough chances and done feck all. Seems Mason is always the first to get subbed/dropped even when Rashford & Martial’s form is worse. Aside from that, it’s probably the best line-up currently.
     
    Seeing Martial and James line up for us in this game is fecking disheartening
     
    This is going to be very difficult. Won't be surprised if we get hammered. Here's hoping for an Ole managerial masterclass.
     
    A lot of pace
    I have a good feeling about not losing this game
    Game might be won from the bench
     
    Greenwood was actually somewhat decent compared to Rashford against Palace.

    Getting really fed up with Ole’s team selections.
     
    Our team looks so average. Don’t expect anything today.

    Martial starting is just as surprising as Rashford continuing to start. Both been poor for a while now but something has got to give eventually, right?

    Some effort from these two would be nice considering how awfully lazy the pair of them have been.
     
    Huge game for Henderson and Martial this. City being so far ahead makes me think they will go full throttle today, so we need to get our finger out and learn how to start scoring again, whilst a clean sheet would be a big feather in Henderson's cap.
     
    Greenwoods ball retention has been twice as good as Martials.

    And they have both been bad at most other things.

    Reckon Martial is starting cause of his history of scoring in this fixture.
     
    I hate that Greenwood is always the first benched even when Martial and Rashford are woefully out of form and give next to no effort in the press or in helping defensively.

    Rashford even went to the media to put out his 'injury' excuse and he still starts.
     
    As bad as Martial is this season he still managed to score 6 more goals than Greenwood who has a grand total of 1 goal in 21 PL apps.
     
    I'm honestly not looking forward to this but knowing won't surprise me if we played our best game this season with such average lineup.

    Who deserves to start based on the last few games? Come on. The attackers have spent all season trying to find some form and for some reason it just hasn’t happened for any of them.

    Is it really due to them or is it due to the attackers ahead of them though?

    Both but they can't pass from deep so are a major factor. Look at the cup game versus Liverpool.

    We had Pogba in the midfield 2 and we where way better.
     
    Cavani out, Martial in, has long has he hasn't been on his sleeping pills were ok. I got a feeling today, it's a free hit, just go play, city odds on favs to beat anybody so just fecking go for it.
     
    Big call for Martial. Hopefully he can step up. No complaints about anything else. Only really Greenwood as a changer on the bench, or Amad but Ole wouldn't use him here.
     
    4 changes from the Palace game.

    In Lindelof, McTominay, James, Martial

    Out Bailly, Matic, Greenwood, Cavani

    No real surprises there, Cavani out a big Loss.

    The strength of any side is the strength of their bench. Most if not all of City's subs today would be starters on other PL teams.

    May as well go for broke and try him if we are drawing or behind
     
    When you play Man City in the PL with them 14 points clear and they put their strongest team out, you know you've gone places because that means they respect us.

    Nah they're out for blood cause they know we are there to be embarrassed.

    Especially when we don't have Pogba to play football.

    Yep, every single one apart from Mendy and GK Steffen would start for us.
