Crystal Palace (H) - Sat 27th Aug 15:00 | Pre-Match Thread

Im predicting 3-1 City. Palace no mugs but we will be too slick for them as the City machine gets up to speed.
Hope Phil can spot Haaland this week

He must have great difficulty spotting him of course as Alfie’s lad is so small. ;-)

Phillips not even in the squad. Does anyone know what's up with him this time? We better pray Rodri stays fit for the whole season because his deputy is made of glass.

He put on the City shirt and was immediately injured.

Sick note personified

 

[ManCityGR!]

Phillips and Mbete not in the squad.

Gomes and Ben Knight are.

Squad depth is a problem.

It is. All are saying we have great depth by being multi-trillionaires etc(even though it's other teams overspending) but for example we don't have a 2nd RB.

Nobody can convince me our squad is strong enough. It’s still August, we’ve only been playing once per week, the CL hasn’t started yet, the World Cup hasn’t happened yet… yet depth is already an issue. This can fuck our season tbh, we don’t even have an injury crisis yet, but it looks like we do. 2-3 players short but we know we’re done in the window. Doesn’t make sense but here we are.

great lineup but man that bench ...

 

[Trickyblues]

That subs bench is… something

 

[citizen_maine]

That'll do

 

[HelloCity]

You could argue that’s our strongest side.
