Ok nine so you can have a maximum of 8 B list players in any one squad. So out of our A list players below Mendy and Stones are injured so presumably we may be able to replace them. So that means we could bring in at least 8 and maybe 10 B list players.

So my squad would be.

1. Claudio Bravo, Arijanet Muric

3. Danilo, 4. Eliaquim Mangala, 24. Tosin Adarabioyo,

8. Ilkay Gundogan, Bernardo Silva, 21. 42. Yaya Toure, 47. Phil Foden, 55. Brahim Diaz

Plus 2 replacements for Stones and Mendy and the rest Academy players?

Presumably we don’t have to take out a 22 man squad ?

All that said I fear Pep with his win every match mentality May well take a few important players out for a pointless game. With 6 hours flight each way.

Rashford other young United players are B list players but can play in United’s Champions league games. There is no limit. So I think City can play Bravo, Yaya, Denilson, Mangala, B Silva, Gundogwan and five youngsters. Including Foden, Diaz, Adibayio, etc

Really nine? I was under the impression that you could play an unlimited number of B list players (juniors) in addition to the 25man maximum A list players.

See link below. Unless I misunderstood?

Disciplined Hammers side had the better chances first half. City had some poor wayward final balls and shots first half. We quickened up second half. West Ham then tired in the final 20 minutes and we capitalised. Mangala then nearly let them equalise in final minute, he won’t play next weekend. Dean warned Adrian about time wasting in first five minutes then did nothing about it the rest of the game. Midweek I expect Ederson, KDB, Ferna, Silva, Kompany, Jesus, Aguero, Sane, Otamendi, Walker, Delph and Sterling won’t even travel to Shaktar. The team will be Yaya, B Silva, Gundogwan, Mangala, Danilo and the youth players. It’s a meaningless game and coming away from Old Trafford next weekend with something is far more important.

Good point Mav, scoring and making important goals for fun last season.

Very odd run of form by Spurs, even with Aldervield out surely they should have played better that they have been. Something going on behind closed doors upsetting things perhaps?

Haha nine. Maybe he has. Stranger things have happened but not to sound too arrogant I can’t think of them just off the top of my head. Truth is i have never liked Moyes since he came out with his verbal diarrhoea rant over City trying to by Lescott from Everton about nine years ago. Hughes just stated he didnt know what Moyes was in about as the club had approached Everton about the possible sale and had taken the appropriate channels on every occasion. IE put up or shut up. Moyes stopped his rants immediately and strangely never reported a thing. On top of that his football is awful, he pinches a living as a football manager imo.

Sounds like Umited played Arsenal brilliantly on the counter with DeGea having a stormer. Should really be missing lukaku as well as Pogba for the Derby. What’s the betting that Pogbas gets strangely overturned? ? Bring it on. Lets just hope Pep rests our entire first team for the last CL game just before. Sadly a part of me thinks his mentality at winning every game won’t allow him to.

Well he clearly doesn’t realise that we have Mendy out for nearly all the season and now Stones for two months add in Vinnie our captain. And now the fool has just got a red and will miss the Derby. Oh hang on the FA might just recind that red card horror tackle as they clearly didn’t think Lukaku meant to kick out last week. We wait with baited breath. Haha.

He may regret the incident nine but does that give the papers a right to completely make up what he said? The answer to that is no clearly.

Haha Chucky. Think that is a bit unlikely. Although I loathe Moyes so it would be nice to see him get another thrashing. Got you guys down for a draw and the Gooners to just sneak past United. The latter is probably wishful thinking.

The Sun is an awful paper. But that does not excuse them of printing libellous defamatory crap. City should sue them.

As long as he stays off the pies and keeps his fitness I think 20m isn’t bad in today’s market. He looked ok at Southampton to be fair.

Hot Adlab about 36c. Here for a wedding which was yesterday on the beach. So didn’t go to Saints game. Had a good day all round. Annoying I believe we have five players on 4 yellow cards going into the West Ham game. Not sure who but if they pick up another they will miss the Derby. I think Mouriniho knows how to get a result at the Emirates. But hopefully we will still go into the derby 8 points ahead.

We got a bit lucky with Kompany who could/ should have seen red vs Leicester. A red card is such a game changer early on in a game. I think refs are too scared to implement the rule. Perhaps A sin bin for 10 mins would be more useful?

Should Mingolet have been sent off? I’ve not seen the incident just read the two duffering views of Klopp and Hughes.

Wow. How important are these goals from Sterling. His style of running into the box when teams sit deep and defend is really effective.

Nil, IMO Sterling is twice the player he was in 2014. Guardiola has improved him immeasurably.
