I wish Dias and Ederson were starting but good team otherwise.

 

[phargrave]

If the rumours about Ederson and Dias not being in the side are true that's a big call from Pep. Yes; you have to have discipline, and rules in the club. And if we win, there won't be much made of it. But if we lose, there'll be a feeding frenzy in the media.

Good enough shout for me…

 

[discopop]

Wha have Ed and Ruben been upto then?

 

[Blue Potato]

No qualms with Ortega starting as he’s an excellent keeper, although this is one of the few opponents Ederson can use his full range of distribution as we saw with the Haaland goal at home last season.

Going to be an exciting end to end game with Alvarez, Foden and Doku all starting

 

[Chi-town blues]

Wha have Ed and Ruben been upto then?

Maybe a bit of knock and eddie flying around the earth.

 

[Brewster's millions]

Would much rather have Bobb on the bench than Phillips.

 

[come-on-barney]

Nunes and Kova on the bench is about right and not sure either are first eleven. Good team let’s go for it!

 

[super_city_si]

Wow no ederson or dias. But both on the bench

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

Some a-hole on Facebook claiming Dias and Ederson have been dropped because they were late reporting back from international duty. As in — not not fit, but breaking team rules.

Who was the a-hole on Fartbook? asking for a friend!

 

[mosssideblue]

Good team

Ruby has been poor and eddie played early thursday morning our time

 

[axlgod]

Come On City!!!

Akanji is underrated in this forum.

I don't underrate him. I just don't like him alone in the middle...

Akanji is great when hes the wide man (left or right) in a three. When hes central his positioning us awful and he jumps under the ball.

his best games come when he starts in right or left back but stones pushes in to mid and he covers him.

 

[Black&White&BlueMoon Town]

So they know nothing

They've been correct with every early leak this season, so yeah, they're Sgt. Schultz.

 

[Blueroses]

Would much rather have Bobb on the bench than Phillips.

I wanted to see Bobb get some minutes today. Gomez to feature likely latter stages of the game.

 

[come-on-barney]

The Dok to score today.

 

[Stevieatlasblue]

Mitoma is an amazing player for them. I’d love to see him in a blue shirt and working with the legend

So has Haaland. I don't see why Dias should be getting dropped over far fewer below-par performances than the former.

The post i quoted had them say , could , unconfirmed , etc guessing at best
