Surprised Guilbert has been dropped. But other than that, it is probably out best available 11 at the moment.

Daft selection . Elmo is solid enough usually but Guilbert was one of our best players during the week. No way should Drinkwater be parachuted into the team either. Not too bothered on Hourihane over Trez.

So would I.

I'm not sure what system people expect or is it just customary to whinge like fuck every time a team is announced.

Luiz and Nakamba didn't exactly play half decent in the week, so might as well give drinkwater a game.

To add to our excitement both aguero and jesus along with mahrez start. They wont take long tk score with that team.

Dont understand the logic in playing with a 10% attacking threat. Just invite pressure for 90 minutes and watch city tear us apart.

He must have a knock or slight illness, no way Elmo should be chosen ahead of him.

So why is he on the bench?

Don’t understand why Guilbert has been dropped, for 3 at the back to work you need his energy on the right.

I wouldn't say I'm the best, far from it. Just parked up though after another 90 mile journey. Hopefully your journey to your living room past all your NRC posters was as smooth as the M6 south was today.
