Bournemouth (A) - Sat 2nd Nov, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

Think it'll be a game with Haaland getting very few touches. Small pitch can't see there being much space in behind for him to run in to, Bournemouth will be dangerous on the break as they were v Arsenal.
All of our natural wingers are out injured.
Gonna need Silva, Foden and Nunes to have good games creating in small pockets of space.
Set pieces could be our best bet of goals tomorrow.

Its the same size pitch as ours

" testicular fortitude" - the latest social idiom is what we need for this game. Come on Blues!

This from sky sports predictor has a ring of truth to it. This is going to be a tough game!

“Bournemouth possess the punch, intensity and speed on the break to run all over what is an ageing City midfield - and that should pave the way for another positive result for them against a top-six side, following on from beating Arsenal and drawing with Aston Villa.”

Time is Peps press conference?

Pep giving absolutely nothing away on the injury front. Not surprising really as it would essentially be telling them our starting 11.

Watch Pep name 3 keepers on the bench tomorrow, lol

He's been hidding since he came back

Sorry I meant Gvardiol. Must of been a senior moment just like Gundogan has been in since his return.

Alternatively, he knows, and isn't giving anything away about the real situation not being quite as desperate as some want to paint it.

he did but he also had a head knock, they were checking his head and neck directly on the pitch after the game, he was probably playing like that coz no subs.
