Take Nunez out and start de bruyne and that’s our strongest team! But I understand the risk of his hamstrings so will settle for this

 

[grim up north]

Don't like the look of that team. I dont mind one of them but starting both Nunes and Kovacic is a risk.

Why

 

[Frank the Yank]

Alvarez went from the starting line up to not even in the squad. Curious.

Ederson
Akanji Dias Ake
Stones Rodri
Bernardo Nunes Kovacic Foden
Haaland

Looks fucking ace on paper.

The changes could disrupt our flow today. Back 3 then with stones playing the dm/cb role. Squad players getting a chance to stake a claim.

Good to see Jack on the bench. That’s the defence we have been crying out for maybe swap Walker for Akanji but the latter had a stormer last game.

Alvarez needed a break. Only issue is with so many changes but pep must feel he needs to give others a run out and some a rest.

 

[didsburyblu]

he is, look at the picture

Are you telling me City fucked up their social media post! that's a first lol

 

[deano ou812]

I like that team more solid in midfield and support for Rodri..

 

[discopop]

If Phil gets shunted out to the wing for Nunes the Pep really doesn’t rate him in the middle I’ve not seen anything from Nunes yet apart from shit housing every 50/50 challenge.

 

[super_city_si]

Where's Alvarez gone? Has he suddenly taken ill?

Has to if hes not even on the bench. Hope its nothing.

 

[Norbiton]

alvarez is on the bench, look at the picture lads, they forgot to mention him on the twitter post

Ah, good
