Haaland out for game at Brighton sauce: pep

 

[Rammy Blue]

About time Alvarez found a bit of form, these are the chances playing up top that he wanted, he needs to be delivering now.

 

[Goro]

I don’t get it why are people voting on we will lose this game …

 

[Turner92]

Ederson Akanji Stones Dias Gvardiol Rodri KDB Foden Grealish Doku Alvarez

But Foden and Stones are both in the squad.

 

[Ric]

Said on Sunday that I expected changes as the players looked knackered, but on reflection they've had time to recover and there's no margin for error with Arsenal and Liverpool not looking like dropping any points.

Ederson
Akanji
Stones
Dias
Ake
Rodri
De Bruyne
Foden
Bernardo
Grealish
Alvarez

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

A real shame that Erling is missing, always has a good game against this lot and their high line.

Old habits die hard…..

 

[citymad]

In the system we’ve been using I’d actually go with;

Ederson;
Akanji Stones Gvardiol
Rodri Kovacic
Walker Bernardo KDB Doku
Alvarez

just say no LOL

Some prefer reverse psychology.

Never heard of Brighton sauce. Tomato, Brown, Tabasco, Worcester; heard of all of them. And Brighton rock.

Have you ever dropped into the match threads? If you did, you would understand.

ahh the place where sanity goes to die

I have a feeling Haaland is out for the rest of the season, But it could be a blessing and you can not carry anybody at this stage of the season, The false 9 works well enough and Pep will set a system that the players keep the ball and move teams around to open them up,

Doku Foden KDB Grealish Silva Alvarez, all rotating the front line will be more than enough hopefully

when he was out we won 9 out of 10 games and looked much more fluid as a unit, now im not saying we couldnt do with him back because hes a big asset but we do know how to play without him.

Im sure Pep said it was nothing serious on Sat . You just never know with City , they play their cards close to their chest . Fingers crossed he’s back for the game against Wolves at least

Love to see Bobb start as the false 9

 

[SWPISHOME]

De Zerbi has done his press conference and confirms numerous injuries. The only player they have back is Webster.

Lamptey, Estupinan, March, Gilmour, Mitoma, Milner, Ferguson all ruled out.

Enscio having a fitness test tomorrow.

 

[kaz7]

Looking foward to this game , i can smell the boys from my house, i dont go to evening games now i am prone to falls and i dont like being out in the dark but i shall shout come on blueboys at the top of my lungs from my garden , lol

No room for error, win any old way and get home

......................Eddie...........................

...Walker...Dias...Stones...Gvardiol...

.................Rodri....Kovacic.................

...Doku.............Foden.........Grealish...

..........................Bobb.........................

I'm sure their will be changes to the team especially after so many tired legs on Saturday, We play Thursday night and then away to Forest on Sunday so the squad will be used.

I can't see KDB playing two games in the space of three days, Not full minutes anyway. Bernie looked fucked on Saturday.

I hope Bobb gets the nod ahead of Alvarez.
