It aint gonna happen but would be great to start with Khus, Nico, Reijinders, Bobb and Cherki. Sav had decent second half aside from miss. Doku is an impact sub against tired defences.

Bob seemed to have lost a bit of timber

 

[comiskey33]

Ait nouri gonna be a handful going foward

Cherki is a baller

This has to be the post for Rudolph.

Piss funny.

What was the score please

City won 0-3.

 

[johnny crossan]

Decent work out and some good individual performances. Certain areas look comfortable with starters nailed on, but I’m still unconvinced by the left-wing and goalkeeping slots. Some good players but nobody standing out.

Think Pep will use Nunes & Ait Nouri to provide width at Wolves with three in centre midfield - Cherki, Reijnders and one of Silva or Gonzales or Gundo or possibly Lewis.

 

[Earlyriser]

Think Cherki started centrally then moved more to the right where he ran the show. Just as the Lyon fan said when we signed him. His best is on the right. Will Pep trust him defensively tbough.

Well he plays Doku and Sav who offer nothing defensively

Reijnders

City won 0-3.

It was easier than spelling his name !

 

[Dobsy]

Reijnders for £5.5m in Fantasy Premier League, looks very underpriced.

 

[jimharri]

That Dutch lad in midfield is a bit special.

Ake? He's a CB.

 

[Charlesfarsbar]

Thought we were decent in both halves

Loads of positives when going through individual performances but the quality of the opposition needs to be taken into account - didn’t realise they are only in Serie B !

First half

Cherki was quality , ran the game and was at the centre of all our good play

Khusanov was sharp in both his defending and passing out

Nico G was tidy enough but didn’t shine

I thought Rico was very good

Second half

Obviously Reijnders was quality and could have had four goals

Savinho was really good

Gundogan was also pretty sharp


The players that didn’t make a good impression were Akanji and Marmoush


If picking the team for next week now

Ederson

Rico stones Khusanov Ait Nouri

Nico G

Cherki Reijnders

Savinho Haaland Doku


I think Pep will favour Gundogan and Bernardo instead of Nico G and Cherki

Although Cherki could get the nod instead of Savinho

 

[jimharri]

Reijnders for £5.5m in Fantasy Premier League, looks very underpriced.

I've got him in my team (along with RAN). Can't see him staying at that price for long.

“nobody standing out” !
Stones was perfect, Cherki ran the first half and the reindeer fella just put on a masterclass.
Not to mention Khus, Bobb and Sav.
Very early days but plenty stood out

 

[Blueknows]

City won 0-3.

Wouldn't know media blackout

 

[Petetheblu]

Decent run out, but it did nothing for what I think the starting 11 will look like....

I was fairly clueless before the match, but had an idea, now I haven't a fookin clue...hahaha.

 

[Gray]

I can't spell his name either. ;-)

We could call him Rudolph.

 

[ancoats]

Still think we could add a right back and then get 4 or 5 out, even if we have to send them out on loan
City and Pep need to cut the squad even if it's going to be old faces then it has to be done,

 

[cleavers]

I thought lots of the new players (Jan onwards) played well, John looked good, not sure we learned much about the older lads in the second half, other than they are still good footballers.

I don't envy Pep picking 18 next week though, I hope he goes with a lot of young, and a bit of experience as starters, and not the other way.
