Burnley (H) - Sat 27th Sept, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Be interesting to see if Foden has a really recaptured his form and how the middle works without Rodri. Savinho needs a good game.

The Matchday Thread will be interesting. Nunes, Doku and Savinho are regulars on there for abuse

Looks like foden is fully fit , looked very energetic and sharp last match

 

[.db.]

Very young team.
Peps next role may be as a Montessori teacher or a role in " Educating Yorkshire"

Even balance of ages with players in their prime and younger players, really:

Donnarumma(26) Nunes(27) Dias(28) Reijnders(27) Foden(25) and Haaland(25) all in their prime;
With Gvardiol(23) Nico(23) Doku(23) not quite in their prime;
Then O’Reilly(20) and Savinho(21) still young lads.

Average age of the team is 24.

 

[.db.]

Nice full week off with his feet up for Rodri.

How have we gone from the centurians team with dave and kev etc to this team

 

[Gabriel]

Big game for Gonzalez. Side today has the look of the future about it, no trusted generals starting.

He's like all those Italian buildings that are half falling down but everyone wants to go see them

 

[Semper aggressus]

V sign?

Ryan McAidoo
Bio
DYNAMIC, EXPLOSIVE WINGER

Ryan signed for Manchester City’s Academy in August 2024, following his progression through the academies at Chelsea and Colchester.

A player with explosive speed and versatile - meaning he can operate across the front line - McAidoo has featured regularly for England at youth level.

He will be looking to make his mark in blue in his debut season with the Under-18s in 2024/25.

Can’t wait for it again. Nunes will have 2 assists and 1 wrong pass the thread will go airborne. Not even started with savinho who turned into the villain after coming back from
An injury and didn’t drop 10/10 performances right away

Are you ‘getting there’ Kaz?

At least he's not justified and drives an ice cream van

 

[pudge]

Walker MOTM incoming because reasons

 

[normskih]

Khusanov looks to be out though, so there is a defensive change to be made.

Has there been an update on Khusanov? He played so well against Arsenal, first half. We’ve begun to look so much better in defence when he’s at right back.

 

[abu13]

Doku v Walker could be fun.

 

[Zenmanc]

Finally a starting XI with no complains.

Give it a few minutes

Aside from his actual contributions which are up, he simply looks IMO as if he's happier, enjoying being out there. Feel like for him that will make a huge difference.
