Great to see foden back in. Hope he continues his upturn in form.

 

[Goater101]

Interesting how this sets up? I’m assuming it’s Khusanov Dias Gvardiol back 3, midfield diamond then Foden Doku Haaland. Pack the middle of the pitch and stop transitions (hate that word)

 

[wolves99]

That united team lol shaw etc

5-0

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Khus, Gigi and Josko all starting

A weird pang of excitement has come over me

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

Nico O'Reilly at full back...oh dear. Not been impressed with his showings in the bigger games last season. Happy with the rest though, bench looks rather decent

 

[PragueBlue]

Would have preferred Ake at LB and Gozalez alongside Rodri in place of Bernardo but otherwise pretty decent.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Ake over O'Reilly all day for me. Odd choice that. Otherwise no real complaints. Bench looks shocking though.

Looks like more of a choice between Nico and Rico to invert into midfield.

 

[wolviedinho]

Not bad that. Balance is better than last time out.

Midfield key as always. Interesting to see if Bernie or Foden start wide right.

Really need the tijani/rodri partnership to take shape.

 

[King Jay]

Nico o Reilly on the right. you can’t make this up. At least Khusanov starts because pep finally gets the memo

Might be the strongest team we could play, not mad on it though, think we'll struggle today.

Need big performances from Rodri, Reijnders and Bernardo in the middle. Need Haaland more involved and we need the Foden of 18 months ago.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

As does anyone who actually buys one!

Tourists.

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Fuck of a team that. Come on blues!!

[Ajm1985]

Need a big performance from Bernardo here

 

[tommybooth]

Onward and upward with the mad professor.

 

[Mayor West]

Seeing Donnarumma starting for City just doesn't seem quite right!

I reckon it's a back three too- but I can never work Peppy boy out.

Could be on left. Khusanov at RB.
