I hope he starts Foden and Alvarez instead of Grealish and Mahrez.

Alvarez definitely. They (the prem) don’t know what’s about to hit them.

 

[Turner92]

Ederson Walker Stones Dias Cancelo Rodri Bernardo KDB Foden Alverez Haaland

Think Alvarez has earned a spot for this one, don’t just mean his goal but his fitness and work rate

City win, because we need to….

It won’t be easy next week but another week on training ground will be beneficial, we’re obviously a little undercooked as we’ve only had a few preseason games by peps design, it’s a balancing act of giving the players enough rest and getting them upto speed, but i trust pep, i think today could be best thing to happen to show us what we need to tweak for West Ham, my starting eleven would be

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
KDB Rodri Bernardo
Foden Grealish
Haaland

Kick off time 16:30 (BST), live on Sky Sports.

Hopefully today's game was the game we needed to dust the cobwebs off.

We started last season with a loss a Spurs (A) so we must be aiming to go one better here.

I don't expect us to change the personnel too much if at all, hopefully we can pick up the 3 points and get our season started.


Predicted team:
--------------Ederson
Walker---Dias---Ake---Cancelo
---------------Rodri
-----De Bruyne---Bernardo
Mahrez-----Haaland---Grealish

How Mahrez makes your starting line up over Alvarez after that performance I’ll never know

 

[richards30]

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Foden
Grealish
Haaland

Haalands success will depend on our creative players making the chances for him. If that happens he will score regularly. Aguero didnt always need assists he just did it himself.

 

[penalty spot]

A draw would be a good result after seeing us play yesterday.

 

[urban genie]

Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Ake
KDB Rodri Bernardo
Alvarez Foden
Haaland

 

[Bluewars]

Haalands success will depend on our creative players making the chances for him. If that happens he will score regularly. Aguero didnt always need assists he just did it himself.

With Aguero if he missed a big chance in front of goal you could bet your house he'd score the next one. Haaland has to be the same.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Foden’s got to be first on the sheet every game the lad is simply World Class

 

[bulldogblue]

Must hit the ground running this season. Comfortable win.

 

[suvommukherjee08]

Will be a close game this. But I think we will score 2 after 70-75 mins.

-------------Eddie---
Walker-Stones-Dias-Cancelo
-------Rodri----Philips
------------Foden-------
-----Bernie--------Grealish
-----------Haaland-------

 

[sh249]

I’d probably go:

——————-Ederson————
Walker-Stones-Dias-Cancelo
———-Rodri—Bernardo—-
—————De Bruyne————-
Alvarez—-Haaland—Foden

Unlikely - Mahrez or Grealish will start, just hopefully not both.

Expecting a slowish start to the season, then hopefully we’ll kick on (as usual).
