Swap Bobb for Doku

No need to. Doku left wing, Bobb on the right.

Swap Bobb for Doku

Tbf forgot about Bobb lol

 

[BringBackSwales]

Imagine posting that Haaland needs to earn his place in the starting line up as though he’s been a flop! Haha!

If it wasn’t Bluemoon it would be fucking unbelievable. Imagine having paid £20m more and getting Hoylund

 

[Victorinodennistua]

Chelsea are a fucking mess probably the best time to play them.

Ederson

Rico Akanji Dias Gvardiol

Kovacic Bernardo

Savinho KDB Doku

Haaland

Come on City.

1-4 city

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

I'd imagine Savinho comes into the side for Bobb.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Revised lineup after the injury news, expect Foden to come straight in and play off the right, pep often talks about his natural fitness levels so he'll be the only one of the last returnees to start.

Ederson
Lewis
Dias
Akanji
Gvardiol
Bernardo
Kovacic
Kdb
Foden
Doku
Haaland

 

[chickaroon]

Just read that Bobb has fractured a leg in training. Such bad timing for the lad.

 

[Ben123]

Huge shame Bobb being out. Almost Definitely was gonna start imo


Ederson
Akanji
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol

Bernardo
Kova

Doku
Kdb
Savio(Assuming Grealish is still out)

Haaland.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

I reckon Phil will be given 60 minutes now that Bobb is injured. Or perhaps Doku will start on the right with Grealish on the left. I can’t see Pep throwing Savio in to start, he will want his trusted players out there.

 

[richards30]

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Dias
Gvardiol
Rodri
Bernardo Silva
De Bruyne
Foden
Doku
Haaland

 

[mancboy]

Ederson
Walker
Akanji

I’d be really surprised to see any Euro finalists.

 

[Father Paul]

Just read that Bobb has fractured a leg in training. Such bad timing for the lad.

Big blow for the team tbh. Possibly 8 to 10 weeks out? At least any plans to do a Palmer or loan him out are probably shelved now.

I do agree, sort of, just worried that going from "not involved at all in matchday squad" to "starting and hopefully getting a first 60 mins of pre-season into the legs" is maybe a bit short notice even for Foden. I hope I'm wrong.
