I’ve made him captain in fantasy for the first time this season so I can assure you he’ll blank

I've triple captained him so that's an added bonus

Absolutely. We need to make sure we aren’t 2 down in the first 4 minutes.

If we can cling on for the first ten minutes and calm down their perpetual motion pressing game, I think we've got a chance. We need to weather the storm.

Think this is a tough game to decide the outcome of

Hard to say whether it'll be 4, 5 or 6

The bloody arrogance on here is shameful. Forest just won at the Bridge and our fellas will be tired after the Red Star battle. Will be happy with a steady 2-0 but expecting them to score on the counter.

Haha relax just a little bit of fun!

People should use this thread to warm up for the match day thread by posting pessimistic predictions about the outcome, slating certain players just in case they start and suggesting that Pep hasn’t really got a handle on things. Then in the match day thread they can go full throttle from minute one if we misplace a pass

Personally I have drafted a reply blaming each of the playing and management team for the defeat.
Just waiting to cut and paste into the MDT as the occasion demands

Hope you’ve drafted it to the whole squad. You don’t want to be seen trying to predict the team.

First game of the season for me at the Etihad, hope we absolutely batter them. Haaland hat-trick (for the fpl) and a convincing performance would be so good

Remember the shit they gave us last season "Champions of Europe we know what we are"

The first of a few sets of tossers who will be getting some grief this season.

Pep Guardiola: "He [Bernardo Silva] has a little injury, it's not anything much. His clinical development is good. But I don't know, one week, 10 days... one week, two weeks, he will be out

Jack Grealish could play "some minutes" for #ManCity vs Nottingham Forest, while Mateo Kovacic is "coming back", says Pep Guardiola
