Finally the CL starts again. Lyon drew 2-2 at Caen today.

Important game of course, I think we will continue to see rotation

..................Ederson
..Walker...Stones...Laporte...Mendy
................Fernandinho
........Gundogan......Bernardo
..Mahrez.......Aguero......Sterling

Think Aguero will be fine for this. Stones to come back in, leave Kompany and Otamendi for the Cardiff away.

Bernardo needs to keep his place in midfield after his masterclass today with David resting.

Looking forward to 3 points on Wednesday.
 
Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Mendy
Fernandinho
Sterling B Silva D Silva Sané
Aguero​
 
..................Ederson
..Walker...Stones...Laporte...Mendy
................Gündogan
.........Bernardo.....D Silva
..Mahrez........Jesus......Sterling
 
Ederson

Walker
Stones
Laporte
Delph

Fernandinho
Silva
Bernardo

Mahrez
Sane
Jesus

Aguero seemed to look uncomfortable midway through the first half with a stretch and didn't look the same after, give him a rest and give jesus a start and Mahrez needs as much time with the team as possible as he's not looking on the same wave length yet

Not too much rotation, should be a comfortable enough win with that side, too early in the season for heavy rotation, win our first 4 then we can rest players for the last two
 
Would like to see Foden at some point if we are comfortably ahead. He needs game time.
Mahrez needs time too as I feel he’s just trying too hard and stuck in his Leicester game play. When he gets his first goal, I think he’ll blossom.

Where is the link for this info?

Reported he suffered a knock in training pre -game but nothing about how long he will be out for.

Can't recall Pep saying anything of note and nothing on physio which has Kuns ankle complaint already posted.

Fake News maybee
 
Ederson
Walker
Kompany
Laporte
Delph
Fernandinho
Bernardo Silva
David Silva
Sterling
Sane
Aguero
 
Feels great not to have to wait a week to see City play again. I think we'll win this one. Lyon aren't a side who'll sit back so we should be able to score a couple.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Delph
Fernandinho
Gundogan
Bernardo
Mahrez
Jesus
Sané

Muric, Kompany, Otamendi, Silva, Zinchenko, Sterling, Aguero
 
What's going on with the tickets? Basically 0 sold according to here https://tickets.mancity.com/en-GB/e...is/2018-9-19_20.00/the etihad stadium?hallmap

Anyway, M.Dembele or Depay will start as ST for them so wouldn't be surprised to see Kompany start for the extra bit of pace.

Ederson
Kompany Laporte
Walker Fernandinho Delph
Bernardo Silva
Sterling G.Jesus Sane

Muric, Otamendi, Stones, Mendy, Gundogan, Mahrez, Aguero​
 
Maybe Pep will give his 2nd choice keeper a run out..Muric.
Unless he will only play in the Cups ?.
Aguero played well until he got a knock. gabby still not firing on all cylinders.
Can see Mahrez playing against Lyon.
