Besides Mahrez I wouldn't expect any of the other players near the first time squad come first game of the season.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Its on plenty of places other than there.

Can you give us any clues.?

 

[cadds92]

Bit of a waste of time playing a pre-seasin game with that squad. They won't be playing come August so what do they need to be match fit now for?

More like a city X1 team we used to send to the local cubs at pre-season.
Not a lot we can do about the majority of the squad not being there but we may as well have just not bothered with going abroad and stayed local instead.

With the way pre-season is shaping up and how much the World Cup is affecting us, I think it’s quite conceivable that our XI for the opening match against Arsenal will be made up mostly of players in the current squad.

Maybe they took one look at the joke pitch and told him not to bother getting changed

But play Mahrez

 

[Ric]

Never change, City:

Just shoot on sight... that clown is in the net

Pot kettle

 

[Plain Speaking]

Does a draw go to penalties?

 

[chaddblue]

But play Mahrez

Laporte is just back from an injury

Never change, City:

Not sure if Mogdon's reply is sarcastic or sympathetic.

just seen a picture of the pitch, it looks more like a jigsaw than grass.
