Napoli (h) pre-match thread

Who is this Youngster who is training with the First Team ??

I assume you mean the player on the right? It's Lorenzo Gonzalez, he's a striker.

 

[Easy]

I wouldn't be surprised if Sarri makes some changes. They play Inter at home on Saturday then 3 days later play Genoa away.

Mertens, Callejon & Hamsik are all 30 years old and have started the last few games. Inter at home is a massive game as Inter can go first with the win and their players don't have CL or EL football to worry about, which could the difference in such a tight game plus they are extremely high on confidence after beating Milan in a 3-2 thriller.

Its a difficult situation to be in.

Its free entry if you book online via the OS. Maybe best do it tonight though as I seem to remember that the fixture is removed at some point on the morning of the game.

The equivalent fixture vs Shakhtar was at 4pm which was a better time I think.

Any idea how to do that mate? Not been able to find anything on the OS all week

Just hope the weather doesn’t get it called off but you guys will have a better idea than me as you’re actually in Manchester.

should be long gone by tomorrow evening.

But if not, go to the Buy Matchday tickets page and look out for the blue bar near the top of the page. You just need to click on the button for the EDS/Academy team, then the youth team fixtures pop up.

Then just add to basket and check out. If you have a season card or Cityzens card its free, just gets added to your card and you swipe at the entry gate. The seats are unallocated you can sit anywhere in the East Stand (usually the only one that's open for these games)

"If you're watching in the telly you're a c***!"
No excuses to miss this game.
Got a cracker written all over it.

Well I will be on a plane to Japan so is that a good enough excuse?

Games coming thick and fast. This is good test for us and possibly our toughest game of the season.

Pep will put a strong team out and we need to keep on winning so we can rest players in the final games of the group stages. We can rotate on Saturday against Burnley.

 

[domalino]

This will be the biggest test of the season until February and we hit the last 16.

Flying over tomorrow afternoon from the Isle of Man for the big game....if the flights are back on

Did you fly over on Saturday morning, there were a couple of blues on the flight.

The only change I can foresee is possibly Danilo at LB.

The front 6 are all undroppable at the moment and the current system with the midfield trio, two wingers and one up top is working perfectly.

Gundogan and Bernardo will probably have to make do with substitute appearances due to the form of Ferna, Silva and KDB.

Aguero will get a run out in the second half to ease him back ahead of the game at the weekend.

Starting XI
Ederson
Walker
Stones
Otamendi
Danilo
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
Silva
Sané
Sterling
Gabriel Jesus

Subs
Gundogan
Bernardo
Aguero

Final Score
City 3 Napoli 1

We should call Sarri's bluff and hit them for five as well. Won't be easy but if he genuinely believes they don't have a good chance tomorrow then we should prove them damn right.

 

[Bozo]

Playing themselves down a lot, aren't they?

No I wasn't there on Saturday. Some good city fans over here though. Always good to bump in to at the airport.

Is he good at darts?

 

[bugsyblue]

I would rest Delph for this one and bring in Danilo.

Apart from that same again. Then all being well I'd try and rest Silva, Dinho and Jesus for the final 25 mins. Let Aguero loose on them as well as Yaya and Gundogan.

Thanks a lot for the information mate, I have now uploaded a ticket to my card. I didn't realise there was a seperate link at the top for EDS, womens etc. Cheers again
