Anyone been here before and knows what parking is like? Their website recommends a school academy?
 
Why is Lewis in so many team selections? Bournemouth have rapid direct wingers/fullbacks, he'll get exposed badly.

Ederson
Khusanov Reis Dias Oreilly
Gonzalez Gundogan
Foden De Bruyne Doku
Haaland

Not sure if Gvardiol is injured. Included Reis as I think he'll get a game.

Kev looked sharper for Belgium and Gundo links better with Gonzalez

the only official info about joško is that he was subbed off due to injury. no details whatsoever.
i think we’ll either see him in training pics or have to wait and see if someone will ask pep about him on friday.

If we play that team we will get hammered in midfield. Gundo should not be starting any games and not against teams with a quick counter like Bournemouth.

I dont see anyone in our current midfield choice (not counting the young lads) who can handle a quick transition. Nunes is probably best but he will never play midfield for Pep as long as he has a hole in his arse. SO its Gundogan, Kovacic or Bernardo. Gundo has linked better with Gonzalez so far. Bernardo is totally fucked and Kovacic is a disaster

Like everything else in life, You are only the best until the rest catch you up and take over, Other clubs have worked us out and found a system that we struggle with, Now we have to reform and find a system and players to beat them,

High energy and pressing is a dangerous system in football, I think you will only last 20 minutes in games playing that way, the Pep system works but needs young and hungry players all believing in Pep, This season some players have turned off or just finished,

its all come at the same time this season ? injuries, Burnout, Age, But it's been coming after the amazing run of 9 years and the incredible 4 seasons in a row, Yes we know major mistakes happened in the summer and the gamble did not pay off, But the truth is nothing can last forever and something was going to blow up, thats football.

Like the last paragraph mate, also do not forget the two pics of Aki and Akanji having their ops, how many have been playing crooked ?

Injuries are part of the game, You can go through spells of having little to the next thing your whole starting 11 is out
I will say Pep and City have been very lucky over the past 9 years, Yes we had injuries to key players in the past, but having the core of the team out like this season is crazy.

Players hate missing games when you are on a winning spree and will play with little knocks and minor injuries to keep their place in the team, But they start to add up and become major injuries and take months to heal and get right.

I will say if the next 10 years are half as good of what we have won I would bite your hand off right now
 
Could get messy this one. With so many potentially out of the back four we need to take a step back and have the two more mobile mids. Praying Josko is OK

Ortega

Khushy Rubes Josko Nico O

Nico G Kova

Savinho Omar Jack

Big Lurchio
 
Ortega
Khusanov Dias reiss O'Reilly
Nico
Savinho marmoush mactee doku
Haaland

Sack it let's just go for a end to end battle
5-4 city
 
Back to reality on Sunday.

Don’t know what to expect. Probably the same as before. Mainly doing well in spells, lots of passing with no real chances. Bournemouth to score off Kus’s backside and then onto camping out and getting hit in transitions.

Can’t wait -:)
