City vs Bayern- Pre-match Thread

[MarsLlama]

Barely two days away now, hopeful of seeing more Eric García, Mahrez and Zinchenko as well as a bit of Mendy and Bernardo. Our EDS very nearly drew with Liverpool this morning so I wouldn't be surprised to see us nick a win here. Bayern were very poor against Juventus.

Doubt they would go to America though , more likely to go straight to the CFA and do some fitness work, they don't really need matches its only 3 or 4 weeks since they played. No point them going to Miami for maybe half a game.

Their line-up in a 3-1 win over PSG

Bayern: Ulreich – Rafinha (Johansson 71'), Martinez (Gnabry 62'), Stanisic (Alaba 46'), Bernat (Zirkzee 62')– Sanches (Zylla 70'), Will – Robben (Meier 62'), Batista Meier (Shabani 46'), Ribery (Coman 46') - Wagner (Richards 62')
Unused subs: Früchtl, Wriedt, Zaiser, Jeong

They lost 2-0 to Juventus but I can't seem to find the teams - not that it matters much, really.

Supposedly back in training after the Liverpool game, or he wouldn't have been named in the squad at all.

Swap Diaz with Bernardo and I'm with you.

Should try to play Diaz as much as possible and try to convince him to sign a new contract

I understand your reasoning. Personally I'm not too bothered if he stays or not, as long as Foden gets a chance. Díaz shouldn't be given an increased role in the team until he starts passing a little more and conceding possession a little less.

You can find all the results, line ups, standings and stats etc on this site "icc football".
I can't paste the link for some reason so let google find it.

Good find, mate. Cheers.

I don't get that at all, is it because he's a City fan? Personally I think Diaz is a better prospect.

Based on what I've seen of them for City's senior team, Foden fits in perfectly and looks like a part of the team while Díaz looks like an awkward extra limb who's some way off the level of the rest of the players.

FFS how many times! Mendy isn’t there

 

[citytill1die84]

I don't.

I do.

Last pre season game before the Charity Shield Laporte surely needs some minutes.
