[Halloween Jack]

Please no Lewis

Sorry

 

[journolud]

Please no Lewis

It’s nice to have a homegrown boo boy isn’t it. Wonder if we could destroy his confidence

[richards30]

I assume that means no Stones or Akanji then? gonna be a car crash if true

 

[mccity]

 

[Ric]

Ake on the bench too?!

He isn’t good enough

 

[northmr8]

Could be far worse

 

[meeesh]

Much better than I thought tbh.

Man City (4-2-3-1): Ortega; Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Gvardiol; Kovacic, Gundogan; Silva, Foden, Grealish; Haaland

Nothing against Grealish per se, but I knew he'd start him here, bad move for me, let's hope he proves me wrong.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

That eleven looks about as decent as it gets currently, what's all the gossip about?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Not overly disappointed with that line up, plan to try and win it in second half with Kev and Doku.

 

[pudge]

Actually not too bad in my opinion. I know Kev's the only one to play a killer pass but he's been as off it as anyone, hopefully Phil comes to life or else it could be an attacking slog

 

[give it to gordon]

Yuks looks abit slow this team !

 

[sh249]

Assuming Akanji and Stones are passably fit, that looks decent enough

 

[kaz7]

Please dont get. Injured stefan ! Not a bad team

COME ON BLUEBOYS

 

[paul power]

Good to see Ake back in The squad

 

[mike1923]

Happy enough with that

Come on city!

 

[MichaelBBack]

That's a better lineup than I was expecting. But also expect Rogers to have a 5-star game and Duran to score a worldie. We need to be better today. Stop the rot.

 

[.db.]

Shitting it about Stones and Akanji being fit enough but that’s the best line up we’ve put out for months!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Good team. Gundo should be nice and high, which is good.
