Decent XI that, looking forward to seeing Dias. Come on City!

Mendy was very good vs Burnley.

Yes. But this is not Burnley.

 

[dhruvblue]

Pretty much lut strongest X1 among the available lot except maybe for Mendy.
Big game for him playing back tk back matches and hopefully he doesn't fuck up again. Bernardo can come after an hour or so can Delap and Fernandiho Or Ake depending upon situation. Sterling and all will need some breather can't burn him out already

Happy with that , more solid at the back ,plenty creativity and energy , if we take 50% of our chances it will be a cricket score , but one in ten is the normal ratio so i will go for 2-0 with Dias contributing to a clean sheet.

GREAT starting lineup for me. Exactly right. Foden down the middle is great.

 

[Silva_Spell]

Ferran Sterling Mahrez
Foden De Bruyne
Mendy Rodri Walker
Laporte Dias
Ederson
Steffen, Stones, Ake, Dinho, Bernardo, Palmer, Delap
​

Can't complain with that side. Only question is with Mendy over Ake will Rodri get exposed on the break?

 

[SWP's back]

Can’t wait to see zero pressure and slowing the game down from ffs. Oh, and cutting in on his left at every opportunity.

(that’s his hat trick sorted)

 

[K8babes]

Great team

0-3 blues

come on

 

[Amadeus71]

4:2 City ....Torres will score two

 

[platty7]

looks balanced in midfield and attack. looks good

 

[ninjamonkey]

Team I wanted other than Bernardo, either he’s still struggling for fitness or Pep really doesn’t fancy him like once before!

Or he’s now seen as a central midfielder in the absence of Silva

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Would be surprised if Dias starts, away in the Premier League on his debut. Perhaps a bit of game time in the second half.
Glad Harrison can't play. He's looked lively for them so far. Whilst he's scored a couple already in these early weeks of the season, I can't take Bamford seriously as a genuine PL striker, and that renders Leeds pretty toothless against a top top team.
Leeds 0 3 City.

I suppose that's why Pep is paid the big money and I'm not. Lol.

 

[Impeccable One]

Would have preferred Bernado to FFS, otherwise thats an attacking side for away at Leeds, who will run at us.

 

[ctwrd]

Mahrez for bernardo and would be perfect

 

[mccity]

Leeds: Mesler, Ayling, Koch, Cooper, Dallas, Phillips, Klich, Costa, Roberts, Alioski, Bamford

 

[bluemcr]

Really excited for this game. Team put out looks great and will be good to see Dias and Torres. C'mon city!

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

I'm loving the line up, very attacking and maybe a bit brave but I like a bit of swagger.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Good team.

Mahrez is a lucky boy

 

[willipp]

No pissing around from Pep. Delighted with that team overall.

 

[damrider]

Small point - GLAD to see stones on the bench!
