Tbf playing all three of those in midfield might well us as opposed to playing just two of them with an extra body in there. Marmoush may help with the counter-press. Really worry is Palmer up against Gundo/Kova.

Fk the defence just score more than them

Sorry Kaz that's bollocks!

He had no ambition to go again for title number four, the rest kept going like machines and to them wanted to create history and that was their mentality . Grealish is not like them

That side worries me. New guys need to hit the ground running. 4-3 :)

Maybe I’m mad but why not give it to Erling? Just an idea!

The players voted for their captains. If none of the captains are on the field, it falls to the one who's most senior and on the field at the moment that would be Stones (joined 2017) -> Foden / Ederson (joined 2018) -> Ake (joined 2020).

Haaland didn't join till 22.

Mean next Tuesday. Is that when we play brugges?

Wednesday but yes your probably right he couldn’t manage both

 

[mosssideblue]

Looking forward to the game and seeing our new toys. Come on lads

 

[cowboyButler]

Nunes right back again. The plot has been lost

 

[It'sBlue93:20]

I wish one day we would just play Nunes in midfield.

Because he is not in the senior captains group

 

[SCEtoAUX]

3-0 City. Very confident.

So coming on Wednesday assisting and scoring is giving up! Going to Milan is giving up rightly or wrongly

I can't agree with that but even if true, Gundogan didn't have that ambition either and buggered off, yet he starts most games despite being poor and hardly able to run.

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Gundo Kova Silva midfield 3 oh for crying out loud

 

[Blue Elvis]

Didn't want to finish in the top 5 anyway ;-)

 

[Victorinodennistua]

3-0 City. Very confident.

Which year?

 

[Blue-Ghana]

We should have started Savio, we have no pace on wide areas again. Once other teams start dominating midfield, we struggle with an out ball. the same thing happened with pSG

 

[SWPISHOME]

I wish he'd go back to the old days and not play him at all.

On a more serious note, If Nunes is to start it has to be centrally, One thing about Nunes he can cover ground and it's something we are seriously lacking.
