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 Cherries, especially the stupid, biased, blind media unprofessionals!!
We can do it, you can do it. Keep fighting and you’ll soon have John Boy back again giving you a big hand.


Th Best Team in the Land and all the World.

Would have liked Laporte sore throat and all in that line up but hey ho lets go.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

Is it 4231 or 433 or 442

 

[Shaffer92]

Rodri's career will be done at 30 at this rate.

Interested to see how we line up. Hope it's Phil in the middle though unlikely.

 

[WallyA]

442 with Lewis going wide to let Foden play inside more.

Or 433 with Lewis inverting and Alvarez and Gundogan playbas 2 10s behind Haaland.

 

[mosssideblue]

Going for it. Like it

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Foden right wing with Alvarez behind Haaland?

Yeah looks like that could be the case.

Foden and Álvarez are quite adaptable and interchange.

 

[thanatos]

Incredible lineup. Total blitzkrieg. Love it

100% lewis inverted

id love to see lewis play where walker was on wednesday and have foden tucked in a little but i think hell be inverted

 

[PragueBlue]

Attacking but would be surprised to see a midfield 2 of Rodri and Gundogan as some have suggested. It would be interesting to see how Lewis would actually do in a more traditional RB position but I doubt we'll see that. I suspect Lewis will spend most of his time next to Rodri. I think we'll set up something like:

Ederson

Akanji Dias Ake

Lewis Rodri

Foden Gundogan Grealish

Alvarez Haaland
