Think he will wanna give Walker mins ahead of West Ham (even though I’d personally prefer Rico at Rb). Doku Savio Rodri (Gundo?) off the bench Wouldnt be shocked if Ake Started

I would be tempted to give the five Euros semifinals another week's rest, and keep, more or less, to the side that won at the Kremlin, with the possible exception of Jack for Savinho, if the former is fully recovered and the latter is still feeling his knee.

I expect to be top of the league by the end of the weekend

I like this tho not sure I like Doku on the right. he cuts in much better on the left. I don't want Foden on the right tho. It doesn't work. he's much better as you have him paired in the middle. Questions will be if Savinho, Grealish are fit to play.

 

[Rammy Blue]

Wonder whether we will see Rodders training with the main group today.

Wonder whether we will see Rodders training with the main group today.

Strange one this, I'm really looking forward to having Rodders back, On the other hand it's a perfect time to give him another week off and save him for West Ham away, No disrespect to Ipswich Towm but we can put them to the sword without Rodri.

Certainly no need to rush him back.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Ideally give Rodders 15/20 mins off the bench late on, even he'll have a few cobwebs to shift after a few weeks R & R.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

Absolutely buzzing for this game. West Ham seems a lifetime ago! Praying for some good weather as making a day of it on the piss.

4-1 City!

 

[Sleeping_Easy]

Same for all the late returners. Walker, Stones and Rodri off the bench with around 10/15 to go. Foden and Grealish off the bench a little earlier.

 

[SWPISHOME]

This game can't come quick enough now!

THE RETURN OF GUNDO!

The place is going to be hopping.

 

[youngbob]

Imagine if Gundogan stepped off that plane on Saturday morning and walked straight into the team to deliver a masterclass a la Benarbia vs Birmingham all those years ago.

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

I suspect the only changes to the starting 11 are Savinho rests the knee and Jack starts on the left, Phil on the right.
Jezza replaces Jack last 20 with 10 mins for Rodders / Ake / Johnny Boy.

McKenna doesn't really go low block so they may match us up man to man and try and outwork us as we all know we're undercooked right now.

Alternatively they might try that 4-2-4 the rags used to good effect in the FA Cup final, although Peps already found an answer to that.

This ain't gonna be a cricket score. I see us finding moments of brilliance from our better players to edge it. Haaland & KDB
I'm saying 2-0.

 

[South Stand Balti]

I don't think we'll see Rodri until after the international break. That's just my view.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Imagine if Gundogan stepped off that plane on Saturday morning and walked straight into the team to deliver a masterclass a la Benarbia vs Birmingham all those years ago

Imagine him pulling up outside the ground in an ice cream van.
Now thats he's back, I hope that lad that did those funny Citehchants videos returns too.
