Tasty as fuck that line up !

 

[SWP's back]

Looks like a 4-2-3-1 to me.

Sort of but I think Reindeer will be more advanced of Garcia.

 

[Eccles Blue]

The new stand is looking great by the way.

I agree and I think we will sleigh them..

 

[alexmcity]

Very attacking line-up :) Can't wait.

 

[Sky Blue]

Our biggest problem against Al Hilal was transitions...

Looking at our back 4 and their wingers, both Kudus and Johnson are fast as hell..

Rico :D
Stones
Ruben
Ait-Nouri...

At least Khusanov or Matheus and use their pace ?

Either Johny Stones plays his best game of career or we score 5 goals, otherwise I don't see how we can win here..

Must delete my earlier post.

Whilst its delightful to have a thread of happy clappers such as myself, I do worry everyones a little too confident about this..

I didn't sleep well at all. Dreamt I was away without an Internet, had no glasses on and saw sight of a TV screen that alternated with us being 1-0 up, 1-1, losing 2-1 and then 1-5 ( the last in my brain from the Hamners v Chavs last night). I've got it as a draw as I think reffing and VAR along with their speed and Thonas Frank's proven ability to stifle us could make this frustrating. I hope I'm very wrong but I never have good feelings about early KO and when every time we play thus hoodoo shower, so am feeling double anxiety this morning.

John Stones is starting. John Boy is back. Oh joy oh what a great Saturday!!! :-) ;-)

You bloody stalker. ;)

 

[mancity111]

wow Akanji, Gundo not even in the squad, Pepe delivering a message here.

If others were fit like Matteo , Josko , Savio and Claudio the message would be we need 15 on the bench.

Obviously a number of players will be leaving the club in the next 9 days but I don't think the two you mention wil , we shall see.

controlling transitions is all about winning the ball back quickly. That is the responsibility of the whole team, not just the back four. Our press has to be excellent. If it is we will win.

congrats mate !
Does he track back?

 

[OntarioBlue]

The new stand is looking great by the way.

Just arrived at the stadium, I was surprised to see people sitting in the new stand. It does look good.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Rico starting again ? :)))))

Oh Pep Oh........

Was great against Wolves. Got to give all the players a clean slate and start again in a new season with a new team

Fucking mad isn’t it?

 

[Rhapsody in Blue]

By the looks of it, Pep is just as fed up as us when it comes to wingers with no end product. Grealish, Savinho, Doku. Hopefully Marmoush and Bobb show how it’s done

 

[Gumzy97]

I think Lijnders is having more of a say than we think the training clips he’s constantly coaching. I think it’s revitalised Pep hopefully he signs a new deal as well

What about playing our best defenders and having some balance ?

 

[Cobwebcat]

That bench!!!!

(Waits for someone to post a picture of a park bench) :-)

 

[jimharri]

That line up is a bit De Armas.


Sexy as fuck.

 

[pride in battle]

We are either going to thrash them or it will be a long afternoon...
