Ech in the bench

 

[J.A.M]

Shit that was an attack minded team, I’m going from 8-6 to City lol

 

[cookster]

No kovacic is a surprise

Ah just saw above. Nico must be hated

Wait, no Kova at all?

Ill

 

[MCFC1993]

Wow, looks very attacking, very surprised.

Bit worried about who's going to shield the defence but don't mind that we're going for it.

Lots of technical players on the pitch, big job for Bernardo and De Bruyne in midfield.

 

[01cravend]

All out attack.. love to see it.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

KDB not good enough for a contract but starting yet again. Strange…

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Kovacic not fit according to Pep. Reckon Bernardo has come in for him last minute.

Ortega
Akanji Dias Gvardiol
Bernardo O'Reilly
Savinho KDB Marmoush Doku
Haaland

 

[eastmanc]

Where is the defensive midfielder? Come on you Dolly Blues.

 

[Blue Til Death]

Is the laughing hyena on the BBC? (Micah)
If so I’ll be watching itv.

By fuck I hope not, he’s an embarrassment to the Arse let alone City …
Just a media whore who will do whatever it takes to stay relevant and keep the fazooles rolling in … Total bellend…!!!

 

[Gabriel]

First time de Bruyne, Haaland, and Marmoush have started together.

 

[city9320]

GET IN!!!!!!! ONE NATURAL MIDFIELDER

 

[I'm Blue]

Well that’s an attacking team.
At least we’re giving a go.
After Southampton I’m taking it.

 

[Mancity1980]

Attacking lineup, like it. This is the reason he started Haaland against Southampton so that he had the minutes to start today.

 

[youngbob]

No idea what formation that's meant to be. Stunned that one of Gonzalez or Gundogan hasn't come in for Kovacic. Is that De Bruyne sitting in front of the back four?

 

[TFC]

Holy attacking lineup batman! So happy to see O'Reilly get a start :)

 

[super_city_si]

Surely we’re going long/direct with that lineup. Don’t hate that if it’s the case

 

[Claytop]

Actually surprised no Gundo or Nico with Kovacic out.

 

[pride in battle]

No Kova ???

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Bernardo

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Wtf that team we're going to lose, I can't believe pep doesn't know who to pick.

Righto I'm ready, off to the matchday thread
