It starts with this game.
1-4 City.
We are the best outfit in the league.

Could be a win or draw depending on what line-up Pep picks.

Strange post. 5 trophies in the calendar year and still snide comments about Pep’s team selections

You want snide comments? What about this one?

Typical City. Become World Champions. Wear the gold badge. Then lose to Everton ......

Yep this is the acid test of whether we can kick start this season and go on a run

Ederson
Akanji
Dias
Ake
Stones
Rodri
Kovacic
Grealish
Bernardo
Foden
Haaland

Im very confident that team beats Everton comfortably, Foden LW with Bernardo and Rodri providing creativity centrally, Kovacic central for control, Stones as Libero/qrt back starting attacks instead of Ruben, Ake, Akanji (they slow down our build-up) hopefully Haaland is fit, he stretches and pulls defences better than anyone.

If Rico, Gvardiol, Alvarez and Nunes start then I dont know what to expect from the style of play etc, does Rico start as a #8? Can he deal with the physicality of Doucore and Onana in midfield? Does Gvardiol play as LB or LCB?

Next month，there will be only 3 matchs, I believe Haaland won't be back until 14th Jan.
Pep won't take the risk, he will give Haaland more time to recovery.

Unfortunately they wont be as shit as they were against United when they rolled over and had there scouse tummies tickled by Bruno fucking Fernandwz to their everlasting shame.

I want Kovacic and Rodri against their shitkickers, Onana and Gueye at the start.
They're going to kick us around Goodison make no mistake. Wonder if that **** Godfrey gets a start if Haalands playing?

They'll try and dog it out for 90+ minutes making it a turd of a game (quelle surprise monsieur Dyche) using Decoures legs for the counter but we should be able to change it up when they tire and make changes.

Just win boys it doesn't matter how or by how many.
