If we'd have both played last on Tuesday I'm sure we'd have won you just lose that bit of edge defending and attacking when it's only a 2 day gap.

Means only one could be suspended for Scum (unless Bogle comes off the bench). Never dropping Ampadu is he!

Makes sense given it's only 2 days until Sunday match. Defend, stay in it and use subs in last 20 mins. Bogle left out due to suspension risk.

343 or 3412 ...

My starting 11 on now...

For a team at the Etihad, on the face of it, this selection looks way too open... Bijol in a back 3 and DCL to hold it up... maybe in a front 2 with Nmecha or Okafor.

Again an opposition coach takes the initiative and changes a game in their favour. Like Daniel but... the gulf in class is not just on the pitch. Talks about bravery 🤔

Good luck Joe, you're very good at your job. I'll miss your writing and your fantastic contribution to Inside ER.
