Hmm...not sure why Grealish gets a pass after last week's poor performance.

Should have been Alvarez or Bernardo instead of him for me

I think Grealish gets more stick than he should, but I would go with Alvarez. For me, Looks like he could a decent replacement for Aguero. Thor will obviously get all the media attention but I think Alvarez could be the one to watch.

What's wrong with Stones??? Is he ever fit?

Think fact ake was on pre season tour pep is gonna a go with ake for now

 

[Mayor West]

Haaland starts!!! Get in!!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Asking to be swamped.

Yeah what a shit midfield that is. Just the two lads who won us the league against Villa and the best player in the league.

 

[oldius]

Great team of top-class players all over the pitch; come on, blues.

KDB was worse,he starts too.

 

[RandomJ]

If the team just remembers we have a striker now all should be well.

I’m talking about the overreactors who moan. Plonker.

I refer you to my previous post

Clapper:-)

 

[City of Troy]

3-1 city come on you blues

 

[coolcity]

De Bruyne was equally as poor.

Yes but he doesn't normally have 2 quiet games on the run

Coufal playing at CB for West Ham

Think it’s Johnson centre back

You don’t judge players on a community shield match ffs.

 

[Maly]

Foden on the right?

Think we might see him play some early balls to the back post ;)

 

[Gumzy97]

That midfield looks slow without Bernardo . If West ham press could be trouble

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Interested to see that front three play together. Don't think any team has set the league on fire this weekend, which, if there was any pressure, takes it off a bit. Be nice to settle in a bit.

It's a mistake if Stones is fit. He starts our attacks from the back.

 

[wolviedinho]

We need to be patient. Give the new lads a chance to settle. 5 subs aswell so plenty of changes. Would like to have seen stones but he must not be ready. Bernie is strange decision. Not the type to not perform unless he has thrown the head up?

Either way City will sort it out.

There clearly is something to discuss though. He started last weekend so fitness is not an issue. Him suddenly not starting is something to talk about whether you like it or not.

 

[mosssideblue]

Wouldn't be in the squad if any of those were the case.

We have to face facts - he wants out.

That is your opinion and not necessarily a fact
