Liverpool and City basically locked in for 1st and 2nd now (or at least top 4 for City) and big European games on the horizon - going to be very interesting and difficult to navigate the inevitable resting.

Glad i still have my WC. It may be a little ways off, but it's something to consider. Those end of season DGWs might be hard to make the most of.

Some value might open up on the likes of Jesus, Origi and Minamino who i could see playing a lot

And God forbid The Madrids beat them!
A rounded 15 with the other top 4 contenders and relegation battlers could work.

Real Madrid are 18s to win the CL, savage odds, can see them beating City, you can't just switch off like they have and expect to pick it up when you need to

Morzadec

Yeah very good point, i kinda forgot City had a very tough last 16 draw

Need Liverpool and city knocked out at round of 16 so they don’t rest players in the run in

Go to the fixtures tab and on the GW28 column, delete teams with no games in 28.
Will show up as blank in the team tab.

From the BBC gossip column...

Manchester City players asked manager Pep Guardiola to stop fiddling with his starting line-up after Sunday's defeat at Tottenham. (Mail)

Even the players are sick of his sh*t :pac:

It's interesting that they felt they could challenge him. I guess that's what happend when results aren't going as well as they hope. Beginning of the end or beginning of a second coming there?

It’s the end of a cycle for sure. Kompany leaving. Dilva this year. I don’t know if it will be Pep or a new manager (the latter I suspect) but I think this team will be and needs too be, revamped shortly to freshin it up a bit. Or perhaps they are just tired of Pep and a new voice will revamp them but either way, something needs too change

I’ve been waiting for news of any potential bust up to come out before signing aguero
They were held in dressing room for an hour after game
Some players are gonna be scapegoated.....

Sterling being one for me, he has been woeful for ages.
Ferandinho back to midfield with Laporte fit.
Mahrez has been a bright point last few games, i'd feel safe if i had him.

Sterling injured anyway
Be suprised if David Silva isn’t brought back in for someone too
Mahrez was terrible sunday.......

Didn't realise they were in the changing room that long doesn't bode well!

It feels like its evolution or revolution time alright. It must be hard to keep the players motivated by you over the years when you're a manager. At this point everyone must have written off this season but would be interesting to see what happens if they fall behind from the start next season would he survive being this far back at the end of Jan again? Doesn't seem likely.

On this, what the hell has happened Bernardo Silva. Pep loved him last season!

I reckon Aguero had a go at getting substituted & if rumours are true about the constant changing of the team I’d say he was the one flagging it.

Doesn’t bode well for Aguero owners

I’m holding off on that transfer for as long as I can
But there is no telling really......

No way!!!

They had a similar heated exchange after loss to Newcastle & then went on and won 14 in a row to win the league.

Heated exchanges can also be good in team sport, particularly amongst a group of winners who are all striving to win.

I’d be inclined to think it will benefit them but if there was one to be the fall guy it would be Aguero as he is more senior & more likely to be outspoken

Never ever go cityless

I'm torn as to whether to bring Aguero in for Vardy this week.

He could run riot or he could simply end up playing 5 minutes

Darksoul

I made the switch earlier myself,have a feeling he will do well,Vardy is not on a great run tbh,plus other Leicester players are taking thier chances.Kept Vardy for months but I think it's time he was shipped out.
