[Rodri’s ACL]

Right...how dare people not want him to start because he's not in form.

He won't be reading this.
So I don't think it'll matter.
If he did read it .
It would be the most effort he's put in since he arrived

Is that Gonzalo the young lad who played up front for them in the CWC? He was decent. No Mbappe though.

Before people start going mental after the team is announced,
can we all agree on one thing...

well done to the youth team today winning 4-0

 

[Giovinco]

Without stating the obvious why is the pre match build up on YouTube in Spanish?

 

[Ric]

Glad Mbappe isn’t starting.

 

[samuelyeboah]

looks like they chose to shore up the defense, based on this XI? Would be interesting to see if they are actually playing for a draw.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Donnarumma; Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O'Reilly; Gonzalez, Silva; Cherki, Foden, Doku; Haaland

 

[Ric]

No changes for us.

 

[Ezy]

Cherki starting nice

 

[akrh215]

Yes! This is our best 11 without Rodri.

 

[Gaz76]

Were doomed, no savino, no reindeer not even Rico Lewis, 4 nil city coming up!!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Unchanged FC

 

[Claytop]

Pep’s favourite 11 at the minute, bar the Newcastle game it’s done pretty well for us.

 

[Bay Area Blue 93]

No changes for us.

So, all of the banter about Savinho starting was all for naught! :)

 

[.db.]

No changes for us.

Pep said he wouldn’t be changing the team in the press conference, pretty much telling those who started against Leverkusen that he’s learnt his lesson after they let him down (without using those actual words).

 

[paulchapo]

Our strongest side atm.

 

[Dial M 4 Mercer]

Cherki starting nice

Cherki starting nice

Welcome to Jazz Club.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Savinho is one booking away from a ban. We’re obviously saving him to make sure he’s available when we really need him.

 

[Semper aggressus]

Good side that. Come on City!!!
