Think he might bring him straight back in place of Foden, then give Phil a note to read on the bench that says if you want to play on my team, never ever stop tracking back when the other team are on the break

I think Phil has been playing well, he should of buried that header on Tuesday and I think he’ll start against Forest, but it’s a forum so each to there own.

I doubt it, he won't be match fit for a start plus even though he will be over the injury it's very soon to throw him straight back in, perhaps Newcastle

Love Jack but after the last couple of games we might see be a drop off in the speed of our attacks. Doku gives us something unpredictable when were facing 10 men in the box, plus hes a more forward thinking player. Be interesting to see them both in the team to see how the team plays.

Is that you Gareth?

Ederson

Walker Akanji Dias Gvardiol

Nunes Rodri

Doku Alvarez Foden

Haaland

Can't see any of the absentees starting.

Grealish will come back in on the LW and Doku will move to the RW, Doku has only been on the left because Grealish has been injured which everyone seems to have completely forgotten. Phil more central.

Doubt Jack will start on Saturday though as he won’t be match fit.

Harsh on Phil, I must have missed something there.

He pulled back one time while chasing back late in the match. He was exhausted. I don't know of any other times tbh...harsh, way too harsh...

Forrest are gonna get it big time I think, bloody William hill are only offering 16/1 for a 5-0, but for 9-0 it's 200-1, worth a quid in anybody's world that

Some of them appear quite confident, fair play to them it's how you should be

Official Matchday Thread: Manchester City v Nottingham Forest, Saturday 23rd of September 2023. 15.00pm kick off

Never thought I would be doing three games in a row. Really believe the run can continue if every player is fit and available for selection. On their day City are capable of scoring 6 past any team in the world but if we can frustrate and limit their chances I think we could come away with a...

Anyone thinking Pep will put Grealish straight back in for Doku, feels like a very Pep thing to do

I think so, nice to have Jack back in, I wouldn't mind seeing them both start.

There you go tradional 1-11 with correct numbers for positions

2 - 3, 7 and 11 are on the wrong side.

Just to clarify I think Phil’s been great this season as well but in the second half v Red Star they were on the attack and he just stopped running. Walker and a couple of the other defenders went mad at him and I remember thinking Pep will not like that!

He'd tried for 30+ yards and wasn't getting anywhere near the guy running, think it was shortly after he'd been clattered too.

I did also think Pep wouldn't be too chuffed, McJock did it last night 5 mins after coming on, but he's just a lazy fucker.
