[OntarioBlue]

Great starting eleven and great bench. Looking forward to a good result today

 

[MarsLlama]

Ilkay Gundogan starting a premier league game for Manchester City just 16 months after we thought he was gone forever. What a wonderful world we live in.

Interesting team and Pep is clearly keeping a close eye on the next two matches.

 

[bluethai]

Savinho is back!

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Yeah, she told me that when she was on a date with me.

She told me over breakfast.

 

[Frank the Yank]

Great to see walker and stones in the starting line up. Also pleased that Rico keeps his place.

 

[burning blue soul]

I get a rush of confidence when I see Gundo's name on the team sheet.
So happy to have him back.

 

[ninjamonkey]

About what I expected. No real surprises, walker and gundo were always starting this after an international break.

Should be more than good enough to win comfortably and rotate second half to preserve legs. Interesting to see Lewis on the left because he's always looked poor on that side for us in comparison to when hes on the right. I'm having Savinho to make a big impact In this.

 

[Barcon]

How much time did Rodri get for Spain the other day.
I was expecting him to start today.

 

[BuryBlue1977]

When Pep was asked in the press conference about Rico playing left back for England he replied that Rico was never a left back and needed to be on the right overlapping the winger and occasionally slotting into midfield. The very next game Pep starts Rico at left back. Got to love the bald fraud. He’s the master of Clarkying and wumming. Legend

 

[Eccles Blue]

John Boy is not on the bench. Yyeess.
