Doesn't anyone else just want to see Gvardiol play at centre half, probably the position he thought he'd be playing when he signed?

 

[Fordyboy46]

1.eddy
2 walker
3.akanji
4 gvardiol
5 . ake
6 .Dias
7 stones
8.silva
9.foden
10.haaland
11 Alvarez

I thought Dias was poor v gunners and looked tired so akanji gvardiol right and left centre backs.

Why not go this, Ederson, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Lewis, Stones, Gomez, Ake, Rodri, Haaland

Not enough defenders!:(

 

[sarcastico]

• Rodri is back.
• Brighton hasn't kept a clean sheet all season.
• Rdz rotates his keepers causing instability and Estupian will be out.
• Haaland reminds the Prem who is king with a hat trick.
• At best BHA score a worldie when City are comfortable and drop concentration as per tradition.

Time to kick on blueboys , at home we should be good if they are at it . Rodders back , he had better be fucking sorry and make up for it

We don’t have a traditional fullback to play a 3atb

So my post was to rest Dias I meant to put rodri there alongside stones at defensive mid

 

[KingGeorge]

This is gonna be one long wait …

Yeah, I'm not in the mood for an international break. I want us to get back on the wagon and win a match.

Very hard game to come back into......

Maybe what we need as the team needs a kick up the arse

 

[ysmsa]

I can't for the life of me understand or accept Stones being part of this International Break!
Our current mini slump and injuries make it even worse.

His last appearance for City before coming off the bench last Sunday was the Charity Shield!

Poor decision this when he is needed for the Brighton game.

Difficult game, but Brighton are leaking a lot of goals at the moment. With Rodri, Grealish and hopefully a fit Stones we have a fully fit squad excluding Kdb and we should have enough quality to beat them.

Let’s see if we still have a fully fit squad after the internationals…..Liverpool already seem to have suffered a blow, nobody’s fault of course

Klopp wants the Spain v Scotland game replayed.

 

[Blu1]

No pissing about. I hope our players are angry & we start a winning run again.

We have been beaten recently due to poor performances not because other teams have figured us out.

3-1 city

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Our march to the title starts here.

No half-arsed slow passing. No going back instead of trying to find Haaland. No excuses.

The curse of the 'holistic' approach. The men aren't as bad as the women. Possession is everything. The worrying aspect is, for both men and women, the number of shots we have and the goal return. Other teams can have but one shot in the entire match and win 2-1!

A victim of their own success/rough-house!

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Ederson; Walker Dias Stones Gvardiol; Rodri Nunes Bernardo; Foden Haaland Grealish.

Gotta get back to our best after this international break.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

We really have to win this, hopefully the International break won’t cost us

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Ederson; Walker Dias Stones Gvardiol; Rodri Nunes Bernardo; Foden Haaland Grealish.

Gotta get back to our best after this international break.

Every time I look at this kind of starting eleven I think we shouldn't have any trouble, and then we have a bit of bovver!

 

[Legal Alien]

.................Ederson................
Walker Stones Dias Gvardiol
...................Rodri...................
.......Nunes.............Foden......
Bernardo..................Grealish
................Haaland.................

I'd use the same shape and balance as the Leipzig game but i'd bring in Stones and Nunes instead of Akanji and Lewis.
