Centre midfield Grealish could be fun today

I think Bernado will be midfield with Grealish on the left up front

 

[paulchapo]

Okay in the ground now. Small queues at present, mobile ticket scanned first time. Massive queues for food and drink as normal.

 

[Cityinmud]

Great line up.. pep should show some confidence in Jesus this season. Hopefully he will score a lot of goals.

 

[mosssideblue]

Dear oh dear Pep, not confident with that line up at all

Go on then, what is wrong with it

 

[Chi-town blues]

fucking fantastic line up . come on city

 

[Cityinmud]

Dear oh dear Pep, not confident with that line up at all

Why not? If kane isn't coming we have to trust on jesus ,starting today

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Needed to open the wallet and actually put the barcode into the hole.

 

[FisHman99]

Wonder if we could be going two up top with Jesus and Torres,
Either way all the front 6 bar rodri are interchangeable

 

[MCFC1993]

Thought Mahrez would be in there over Torres.

 

[Legal Alien]

Laporte has to stay.

A big game for him today.

There looks to be nice balance to the team.

COME ON CITY!!!

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

Big opportunity for Jesus today, hope he takes it

 

[hcblue95]

We look a little bit light but who wouldn't with the best player in the league and the best young player in the league out injured. Expecting a big reaction from the players to the spurs game.

Would have started Zinchenko over Cancelo. And possibly Sterling over Torres (if on the right). But looks good - let’s get the season up and running.

 

[adam.marrett]

Hoping Jesus shows he's ready to score goals this season today. Not to bad of a line up, surely we can get up and going early with our crowd back, a early goal will do nicely.

Doesn't sound like KDB's injury is that serious, hopefully we can get some rest into him early this season.

Sterling,no way get shut.

Centre midfield Grealish could be fun today

I think Grealish will play in the front 3 and Bernardo in the KDB role which he did brilliantly in 2018/19.

 

[Dazzle84]

Can't complain about the lineup, very happy to see Bernardo in. If he doesn't get his move he'll be professional and an absolute asset to us this season

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Jesus and Torres...

Interesting.

I'm actually quite excited by that team.

 

[Cityinmud]

Would have started Zinchenko over Cancelo. And possibly Sterling over Torres (if on the right). But looks good - let’s get the season up and running.

We have to find Torres' position and confidence in the field.

 

[paulsimpson]

I find it interesting that all 3 of the supposed wantaways are starting.

Implicitly Pep saying, " until someone comes in for you , quit whining, fulfill your contract to the full as any professional is expected which is : go out there and show what you are capable of
