Could be civil war on here come Sunday evening

We should be conditioned to an opening day loss by now. Usually start the season with dropped points in one of the first few game

 

[Fat Jim]

Weve not had a opening game at home since 2016!

Last opening game against west ham we won 0-5

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Think both Alvarez and Haaland will score, expecting a good win 3-0.

 

[supercity88]

I hope Alvarez starts. He's match fit, he already looks like a natural fit in the way we play and he is a real threat and workhorse.

 

[Blu3m00n91]

I’ve got a feeling Rodri and Phillips will start together Sunday. Wouldn’t mind it with de bruyne ahead of them

 

[Bluemooner33]

I would like to see this team so we have pace outwide and through the middle with Haaland, hopefully we drop a few ball's over the top for him this time

Ederson
Walker - Dias - Ake - Cancelo
De Bruyne - Rodrigo - Bernardo
Alvarez - Haaland - Foden​

Get on it then pal; I think you can get 2-1 on us not winning ;-)

Correct, you could lay City at 2/5, or back whu at nearly 9/1...

We looked overrun in that area against Liverpool, so I agree with you. Be rock solid there, KDB or Gundogan in front of them and perm any three from Mahrez, Foden, Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland, Palmer

 

[big gaz]

Dean is a shit for the new rules , remember raz and some giant , stoke i think it was , that rule faded away but he wanted to make us the example , expect some crap decisions not in our favour

Well remembered chic ;-)

Ederson
Walker - Dias - Ake - Cancelo
De Bruyne - Rodrigo - Bernardo
Alvarez - Haaland - Foden​

That is the best lineup for this game. Alvarez is fully match fit and raring to go.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Stones
Cancelo

Rodri
Bernardo
De Bruyne

Foden
Alvarez
Haaland

Going to be a tough test this! I think we will do enough to get the job done.

Hammers 1-2 City

Haaland and Foden

 

[Gigant]

First subs after 3:0 lead ;Alvarez ,Mahrez, Gundogan / Phillips

Not a fan of starting Haaland and Alvarez at the same time , cuz if things gone wrong we have to put somebody from the bench who can make instant impact

If we can't win with that team.

Seasons nearly on us and its so quiet what a
Very strange football summer this has been.

 

[Heath Park]

Walk to St Pancras & catch the South Eastern High Speed service to Stratford International (takes 7 minutes & Oyster card / contactless can be used on it).
Just outside Stratford International station just inside Westfield shopping centre, there is a fantastic bar called "Tap East". Gets a bit busy with West Ham fans, but it's friendly and welcomes away fans.

Not a bad lot West Ham fans...

 

[deano ou812]

Think this could be another draw like last season 2-2 again..

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

That is the best lineup for this game. Alvarez is fully match fit and raring to go.

That would play like 4-4-2
