I wouldn't have Walker anywhere near Grealish,he'll take the clumsy fucker to the cleaners.

I want Grealish to be the MOTM despite us getting the result.

I want Grealish to be shown up by our players

No doubt Grealish will be poncing around, collecting the ball in non dangerous areas and flattering to deceive
A hybrid of Lallana and Barton

And diving all over the place, if he was foreign he'd be slaughtered

 

[Airbags Optional]

Big big game this. We really need to set an example with this game.if we can dominate I think the others in the title race may start to wilt.
Voted draw as I never vote win!

I disagree. Even prime Eden Hazard always struggled to get anything from Walker. I know he has the tendency of doing brain farts from time to time but when he’s on it, he gives the best of premier league attackers a torrid time.

Out of interest are you suggesting that Grealish couldn’t also take Cancelo to the cleaners?

After last night's performance, Walker isn't "on it" so I too would prefer Cancelo

I personally don't think he does dive as much as you claim. He is a handful to most who end up fouling him.

Goes to show you dont need Dzeko but I'd rather start with eleven.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this, i think he dives constantly

No problem. Wonder if you will see things differently after we sign him :)

 

[Academica]

Well they changed the ko time from 8.15pm to 6pm, that would indicate it will go ahead but I’m not 100% certain.

They are thinking of slotting the everton game at 8-15pm.

If Villa win their 3 games in hand (this is one of them) then they would be above us in second.

They are without a doubt the best side we have faced in the league for a few months and while they've had disruption from covid, they've also had more than 2 weeks rest and time to prepare for us.

Triple captain in your fantasy team this week?

Their training grounds only reopened Sunday.

 

[Semper aggressus]

They don’t concede many so will probably be tough to break down. Always a danger from set pieces with Grealish too, we need to be clinical or it’ll be nervy.

Ederson
Walker
Cancelo
Dias
Stones
Rodri (unless Fern can manage another game so soon)
Gundogan
Foden
Sterling
KDB
Aguero

They haven't been able to train and no idea how many players they've had affected by covid. If we get a early goal we should be able to put them away relatively quickly.

Our training ground opened 1 day before we smashed Chelsea with 6 players out.

 

[shemnel]

Cancelo back in, with Mendy & Rodri getting minutes. I really want KdB to play as much as possible but he cant play every game, can he? more minutes for Jesus i think, he looks rusty as you like. Sterling to start again.

Ederson
Cancelo - Dias - Stones - Mendy
Rodri
Sterling - Bernardo - Gundo - Foden
Jesus

And if we play how we can he probably will,played them 3 times last season & he never got a sniff, probably the worst player on the pitch in the League cup final...we don't need to be changing the team round to accommodate their player's as we're pretty good ourselves & as we saw last night there's not a lot a team can do if they can't get the ball...

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Our boys are going to be bang up for this and the season starts Wednesday.
