Wolves (A) - Sat 16th Aug, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Decent that. I stopped trying to predict what's going on in Pep's head a long time ago.

Trafford, Lewis, Gonzalez and Bobb are the four that I didn’t include.

 

[clarion]

Surprised at the amount of negativity. I think it's a good line up with plenty of options off the bench.

Yeah. Let’s wait for 85th min to see some magic from the bench.

 

[Zenmanc]

Gonzalez rather than O’Riley.

How's he out of favor if he's starting?

 

[CC1]

Foden is a worry. Apparently it’s the same ankle as last season that’s giving him problems.

Looked ok in training. Probably taking more care of our players this year after last seasons injury issues

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Surprise Lewis is starting especially with all the IRK stuff going about on him moving.

However, an exciting team for the start of a new era with some big names still to come in and a strong bench even with the injuries.

 

[houraisen]

I would have preferred Cherki to start rather than Bernardo.

 

[DD93]

Rico is starting…………………………..

At least he got rid of that haircut, I will take that as an improvement :D

 

[Fordyboy46]

Not for me that line up, but come on City

 

[br88]

No Cherki...so so disappointing.

 

[Centurions]

How's he out of favor if he's starting?

Whoosh?

 

[01cravend]

I'd like to see Johnny from the right inverting and Khusa pace covering that side..

Massive competition at top end of pitch so people always gonna be disappointed. Just buzzing football is back

 

[Goater=Legend]

Yeah Pep couldn't win on this one. If Cherki was there instead of Bobb, we would of had the moaners.

Then they would say he could of played in midfield which would mean one of Reijnders or Nico wouldn't start and people would complain over that too.

 

[mancityscot]

Interesting team, on paper definitely not our strongest. Surprised to see Lewis start with all the noise around regarding a move.

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

At least Nico Starts

 

[TinFoilHat]

Rico is starting…………………………..

Contender for BM matchday thread scapegoat.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I have no fucking idea what is going on or who the players are, it is too soon for me but for what its worth

COME ON BLUEBOYS

Now we'll get you perked up again and (fingers crossed) fighting fit @kaz7 . Good luck sunshine. Lots of love (sorry folks went a big Facebook there!! But kaz7 deserves it!) :-)

 

[remember arthur mann]

WTF ! Defence worries me. Good job Cunha' s not playing.

 

[Centurions]

Surprise Lewis is starting especially with all the IRK stuff going about on him moving.

However, an exciting team for the start of a new era with some big names still to come in and a strong bench even with the injuries.

IRK?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

How's he out of favor if he's starting?

If you read his performance thread, half of the posters there believe that Pep doesn’t rate him, despite him playing in most games.

 

[CityDE]

Have to think Nunes would have started every game other than Wolves away. Doku over Marmoush is the right choice. Would have preferred Cherki to start but I'm happy for Bobb as well.
Really hope Foden is fit and ready asap. We need him at his best this season.
