Rodri

GODRI! We’ve seen the disaster without him. No further explanation required. Right?

De Bruyne

I don’t see KDB being left out of such a crucial game, though I hope we see him take the knee to tie his laces, because then we know he means business.

Bernardo

Bernie loves himself a Manchester derby and let’s face it, he has more passion in his left (foot)ball than the entire starting XI did on Wednesday.
