Ball played back to Bond from KO who passes it to Porteous who turns on a dime and expertly smashes it top bins past Bond before celebrating.
Fortunately he isn’t playing due to injury . Unfortunately Foden and particularly Grealish will be, 2 players who will be very keen to impress .
I think we can win this. After the Norwich result our league campaign is all but over and we’re as good as down, so we may as well go full strength tonight with a high press.
We'll buck the recent trend by not conceding in the first 5 minutes despite being against much better opposition. However, once the first goes in eventually we'll fall apart as per usual and get the obligatory tonking.
Sorry, I was referring to the point at which I hide under a big pile of coats and hope everything turns out ok.
We will make some sort of mistake gifting them their first goal early. That is normally standard procedure in these ones.
