The NEW City XI vs Dortmund: Caballero, Clichy, Otamendi, Adarabioyo, Kolarov, Fernando, Fernandinho, Delph, Navas, Zinchenko, Iheanacho

Some won't be happen he has cut the kids!

Right thing IMO. Season in two weeks and the first team needs some game time.

 

[Phil1]

Glad Kolarov made the cut.

 

[Heart.net]

Yeah...that's disappointing. Was hoping to catch another glimpse of Angelino, Maffeo and Barker.

Naturally this is just preseason, but Iheanacho seems to be first choice as a striker. At least until Aguero is away.

 

[Claytop]

So why we thinking Maffeo, Angelino & Barker have been changed?

 

[SWP's back]

They've changed the bloody lineup!!

Yay

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

delph over barker and Kolarov over angelino feck sake

 

[Danny_Johnson4]

I dont think they were ever in the x11, I think it was probably a mistake from the bayern line up in hand or something, a cock up but one im glad we have changed because we need minutes in clichy, otamendi etc

 

[TonyM]

Pep's messing with our minds. He'll probably send out a different 11.

It'll be so hard to know what to moan about if he keeps chopping and changing.

I was thinking they'd just forgotten to update the XI from the Bayern game?

 

[CrownPointBlue]

I think he's sticking to his plan-the majority of the senior players have only trained in the humidity and heat of china. This was likely the team to play against the rags. We will squeeze another game in somewhere before Arsenal with the team closer to the team to start the season.

I certainly hope there's a brilliant master plan behind all this otherwise most of our elite players are going to be seriously undercooked for the season

 

[MCFC1993]

Glad Adarabioyo has made the cut, thought he was very good against Bayern.

Right decision to get some of the first teamers in, only 2 games left (if we can't arrange another), they need game time.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Happier with that new side, the first team needs minutes together to adapt to the new system.

 

[Claytop]

Yeh probably, the simplest answer is usually correct.

I think the revised team is more sensible. Pep will be very keen to find another friendly somewhere, otherwise we will be half cocked.

 

[RandomJ]

Nolito on the bench. Hope he gets on second half to show us what he can do.

Yup, I was very impressed with Adarabioyo v Bayern - happy that pep wants another look. Interesting to see the bench.

 

[SWP's back]

Delph on the left? I thought on Pellers was mad enough to keep trying that.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Good old sky showing rags v dippers before we start.
