Bournemouth (A) - Sat 24th Feb, 17:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

I think he'll come on second half and score.

Hope he does, just to piss on the chips of the match day threaders

 

[ninjamonkey]

Think he is on the bench, just not shown on twatter for some reason

Ahh okay, cheers.

 

[Axel Freed]

Top class defence that is and with Kovacic mopping up in front of them i see a clean sheet and a bit of a stroll tbh, City 3-0

 

[eversince 76]

Interesting line-up with Nunes starting. I think Pep expects more room than hometies vs double deckers.

Should get the 3 points if only by what quality we have on the bench.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Well no one saw that coming haha
pep‘s curve ball incoming. They must’ve prepared for an all out attack and had a game plan .

 

[Keeper!]

Interesting lineup, will be interesting to see the rotation with nunes and kovacic in front of rodders

Get the game won by half time and get Rodri off for some much deserved rest.

[Chi-town blues]

Let's hope Nunes is on the right not foden

I think bernie and foden will play on wings

 

[Eccles Blue]

The Boys in Blue never give in. They fight to the end. Come on City. Come on City. Show ‘em lads, show ‘em all. Especially the Southern Softy Cherries. Especially the biased, know nowt about great football media blockhead dunces!
Especially the Specsavers needing dolts, clodpoll, lame brain, pilgarlic set of officials who think they’ll wear us down. You fools don’t you know who we are???
WE ARE MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD!! :-) :-)


Come on Mr Stones do your thing laddie and don’t get injured but score a goal to shut them all up. (Plus I’ll be able to vote for you for MOTM if you do). ;-)

 

[Chi-town blues]

nunes will make those runs inside the box and free up haaland ….meatshield hattrick incoming

 

[vmsuhail]

Not enough creativity in that side, but thankfully Rodri has some support around him.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Ex Bournemouth manager Scott Parker, and Izzie Christiansen who when I’ve heard her on 5 live has rarely had a good word for us

 

[DWIFF]

Like the look of that back four. Is that the first time that we’ve had our four central defenders playing together this season? Not convinced about the set up of the front four though.

 

[HamannCheese]

Bizzareish looking lineup. Will be interesting.

So if he doesn’t score you’re not voting for him Eccles?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

No time wasted here from Sky, straight into the usual narrative of ‘let’s manifest a win for their opponent and highlight all the ways we think it can happen’

 

[yankblue]

Interesting lineup and excited to see what Nunes can do

 

[manimanc]

Fuck me sky sports news doing a Bournemouth teamtalk already.
We'll be playing against Brazil before 530.

 

[Chak19]

Walker AND Alvarez on the bench ? what a shocker.
