A chance to rotate tomorrow, with the games coming up in mind. Starts for the likes of Rico, Nathan, Matheus, Mateo, Kalvin (yes, seriously!) and Jeremy, maybe?

I completely disagree, respectfully.

A full week off, a chance to go top before Arse go to Newcastle in the evening and put out a psychological statement, and build on the form growing.

Pep loves full or near to full strength when he can field it; I would go same XI as United but perhaps there'll be a couple of rotations for knocks or tactical tweaks (e.g. one or two of Doku, Kovacic, Ake).

We can address Young Boys when it comes.

No problem. But I'd hope the players I named would have enough about them to beat Bournemouth and Young Boys. I'm guessing, though, that Pep will more than likely go strong tomorrow, whatever about next midweek. I suppose he knows a bit more about this management game than I do.

We've had a week off, i see no reason why Pep won't go strong, he has the luxury of being able to rotate in the week.

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Gvardiol
Bernardo
Rodri
Foden
Alvarez
Haaland
Grealish

5-0 with Big Erl scoring a hattrick.

COME ON CITY!!!

to be honest he rotates far less than i expect, so he'll probably change 8 for tomorrow now

take your point about the players you named, but i personally see the opportunity to go top a big one.

I think we’ll start very similar to the derby bar maybe Ake and Doku starting. At some point we may skip up against one of the less fancied sides and I get the impression Bournemouth may click at some stage but regardless we should still have too much.

We’ve slipped up already at wolves, that’s our one for the season hopefully

Very good football team Bournemouth. They have the tools to hurt us and I would suggest we've had a run of easy games that may not have challenged us. We're still not firing on all cylinders and Haaland still only just gets tap ins right now. They'll be right up for it and we don't have battlers in our team, in fact looking at our two humiliating defeats to Arsenal this season it appears we have more bottlers than battlers.

I'd take 1-1 right now and move on.

This has to be a WUM
2 defeats to the Arse, first one was a draw and lost on the lottery of penalties and the second a late deflection, if we’re happy with a 1-1 we won’t be winning any leagues this year
