Bournemouth players manager zero pressure means they get coached so well they can play so relaxed and with there skill and players you see why they are second! We all know it’s going to be tough but hopefully it won’t be a parked bus it be them with possession too where we can break play long or down the wing with Doku..

Lineup and setup are two different things though., the setup has been the biggest issue this season.
if he sticks Bernardo on the wing or pushed up with foden/cherki, we'll be wide open and get smashed, if he sits in with Nico and gives us a solid base then its down to the players as you say.

Good starting XI. Happy to see that Reijnders is in fact droppable.
Need Bernie alongside Nico and probably Foden wide, with Cherki in behind Haaland.

Phil Foden will become the youngest City player to reach 200 Premier League appearances in today’s home clash with Bournemouth.
He arrives at the tally at the age of 25 years and 158 days beating the previous record holder Raheem Sterling at 26 years and 284 days.

I think it will be the latter, Bournemouth won’t have 11 men in the penalty area like Swansea, they will be looking to score today.

Love the look of this team. It's a big game for Cherki and a decent performance could see him become a regular starter. It could be the factor that we have been missing for a while. Fingers crossed!

Lets hope Cherki lives up to the expectations some have on here. I do like the line-up but I simply hope we can get the 3 points. Come on City!!

I’m glad I dropped Reijnders from my FPL team!

I am hapoy with the line-up, but playing Bernardo against any tough competition is playing with 10, even as a midfielder (this would be playing with 10.5, because he is much better than as a winger).

Midfield very attacking but extremely lightweight...this is Pep challenging what he talked about in the week....we have the creativity but do those players have the workmate, physicality and defensive capability...we will see

Yes he certainly didn't look fit midweek, but fitness shouldn't affect your passing ability.
Not so much the size of the squad but that we have a fully fit squad for once.
A great position to be in.

I think Bobb is pissing in the wind now to be honest. He’s had chances with others being out injured and done very little. Now the likes of Cherki and Marmoush are back, I just don’t see him getting many more PL/CL opportunities.

That's a brave but fantastic line-up from Pep. Let's hope it pays off, so we can get to see Cherki's magic regularly. This could be the start of a new magical City period, lifting off today.
Come on you blue boy-wonders!!!
