[remember arthur mann]

We’re in Greece right now and the kick off times are all over the shop. Bayern just finished and waiting for PSG to start.

Me too, 2 hours on in Rhodes.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

And it’s in America,if he wants more time off put in a transfer request,join a club that’s not in Europe,early exits from cup competitions,go on off you pop

I don’t think Akanji wants to join the rags

 

[joraneyulala]

Has the team left for Philadelphia already?

Ederson

Lewis Khusanov Reis O'Riely

Rodri Gonzalez

Foden Gundogan Doku

Haaland

Can't see him going all out. Minutes for some young lads and substitute new players later on.

These lot are real minnows rated below 300 by FIFA. While we all want to see our new boys, we’ll learn nothing from this game.

This game should serve as match practice and introduction of the new players.

That said, Wigan in February 2018 were probably below 500 in FIFA's rankings, so we should be careful and professional to avoid a surprise.

We will hopefully learn that Rodri is ready to tackle. That will do for me.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Expect players who haven't been involved in internationals to dominant the lineup for the first game hopefully with a mix of younger/new players and those that need the minutes. there's no need to go full strength, any combination should walk this game.

Expect Rico to start after choosing to be with us over the u-21's.

Think they're staying in Miami as a base so will probably leave tomorrow for the game

[MillsyTheMosher]

Anyone know if this is being televised in the UK ?

[Sleeping_Easy]

There's a lot to look forward to about this game, even given the opposition. Rodri, Bobb, Foden, Cherki, Reijnders, Ait-Nouri. All looking to get minutes, recapture form and/or make an impact. Quite excited really

I saw some training. Grins all round.

 

[Tbilisi]

Are families out there with the players?

 

[chickaroon]

They were training in Boca Raton, Florida. Probably fly to Phili today.

 

[Sleeping_Easy]

Are families out there with the players?

Not from anything I've seen
