Not the first time but my heads gone at that line up - cannot work out who is playing where

If you know, you know

Happy St Beneathus Day to all my Rag ‘friends’ #MCFC

More likely Wharton and Gibbs White than Wirtz as well - scary window as I also didn’t add Walker - that’s a lot of outgoings from a smallish squad

US Economy to Lose Billions as Foreign Tourists Stay Away The US economy is set to lose billions of dollars in revenue in 2025 from a pullback in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products, adding to a growing list of headwinds keeping recession risk ...

Millions fewer tourists are visiting the US under Trump, according to new data.

This could cost the economy nearly $90 billion this year.

I’m an optimist 😂

Quick ins and outs wish list for City - obvs I am not ITK and just punting thoughts -
Outs - Ortega - Stones 😢 KDB 😢😢 Bernardo 😢 Kovacic Grealish 😢
Ins - Trafford Branthwaite Cambiasso Gibbs-White Wirtz 🙏 Dibling + would love Delap as well

Same tedious 90s players wheeled out again and again banging on about Viera Henry Beckham Scholes etc - it was nearly 30 years ago FFS

"What a scoreline! Didn't see this one coming. Early on in the game, Ipswich have been the better side by far. Enciso stands a great ball up to Ben Johnson."

Example - Hutch

"What's Vicario doing? There's nothing Djed Spence could do about this, Vicario has to be stronger. He could catch it, if you are going to palm it, surely you palm it away from the defender?"

Example Butt - incisive stuff

"The header at the end, [Mavropanos] has got to score that. It's a free-header. They'll be disappointed to not be going in one-one."

So reassuring to see premier league online site is as stuck in the 90s as the rest of Premier League Football punditry - their 2 online opinion sayers on the live stream - ladies & gentleman I give you Nicky Butt and Don Hutchinson - this epitomises the time warp UK media is stuck in - move the F on

That’ll be Ederson, Dias , Nico and Marmoush sent off in the first 5 minutes then

Yep, looking like shit or bust with a midfield more suited to walking football - hoping for a flukey win or Bournemouth have an off day

New FA Cup rule were exploiting anyone who’s legs are fucked can play on roller skates

Rust is quicker than that midfield he’s picked.

I think we are playing 4 in defensive midfield 😂 Fearing the worst #walkingfootball

Great - average age of our midfield today is 68

Agree but his drop off on form has been as marked as Bernardo’s Gundogans and KDB

12 points from that I reckon

To add - whilst Ederson hasn’t had the best season - the distribution today from Ortega constantly put the defence under pressure and no surprise that Khusanov had his worst game since his debut

Lucky point against a very good team today - Ortega not good enough - wingers naive - midfield lacking pace and conviction - a lot of good players hiding at the moment

Corruption in plain site at the swamp tonight - shocking penalty call and sending off

👀

WTF that line up !?

Hardest City player - maybe I’m getting old and you youngsters have forgotten but what about the legend that was Gerry Gow, all he was missing on the pitch was a smashed beer bottle in his hand - could play a bit as well

So nice @tntsportsus.bsky.social to listen to Man City legend McPointalot Mcmanaman to co commentate on our game #sarcastic

@thecityramble.bsky.social naming it now - team tonight
Ederson
Lewis - Khusanov - Dias - Gvardiol
Stones - González
Savio. Marmoush Foden
Haaland

WTF - Is that the legend Jim Tolmie playing at number 7 for Celtic?
