Not moaning, not for one second. But no Gvardiol, even on the bench? Bit surprised, frankly. He was training this week.

Training but not yet fully fit.

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Luckily without Kulusevski and Maddison this might be an easier fixture than anticipated.

Great coverage here by TNT, Joe Cole sounds more shrill than the Dolphins on display :)

Probably all go wrong now, but that feels an exciting line-up.

training but not featured in the OS action shots and clearly not yet ready

NEVER say that against Spurs. Fucked me up about 15 million times saying stuff like that when Kane was ruled out of it. They are our bogey team..

 

[Micky Blue]

Really like the lineup.
Probably get some stuck for this but I’m still not convinced by Marmoush.

Tottenham is never an easy game for us.
Can’t wait to see Cherki and Reijnders again.

Competing with spitty

Akanji and Gundo…..the end of an era.

Not sure I remember the Akanji era… Gundo though, very sad!

 

[mosssideblue]

Come on lads

 

[handsofstone]

I like this line up but im really shocked he hasn't picked Bernardo especially for the work rate

Bobb-Cherki-Marsmoush behind Haaland is tasty

But city are their groovy team

 

[noseve]

Spurs are scary purely because of their record v City.

Their league position last year was thoroughly deserved and half of this lineup have never played against them, so feeling confident that we can outscore them today.

0-0, it won't be...

He’s not fit. In what world is that something to moan about?

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Every time we play a team everybody likes we drop points. Why didn’t Nunes start?

 

[ufo]

fuck levy

 

[Cobwebcat]

There are two schools of thought, in general, for Rico Lewis..

1. Great player who only went to bits when the rest of the team were all over the place.

2. Will not do as a right back when we are too open against fast counter attacking wingers.

I’m firmly in category 1 but like everyone else I could be wrong. Today might answer a few questions.

I've put NBC on and got Timmy Tourretes Howard.

"I think we're all guilty of dismissing City over the summer...."

I doubt TNT is so positive.

My heart says we're gonna spank spurs.

My head says it's fucking spurs.

****.

That’s ridiculous. Wasn’t it less than a fiver last season ?
