They won’t ;)

Or we turn into Southampton

Bench will get us out of the shit after the inevitable goal on the break from the opposition.

2-1 City after a frustrating struggle.

I remember when we swatted aside teams like this about 6-0. I miss those City teams.

It was only a couple of months ago tbf

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

Well I am bricking it.

Idiotic lineup.

 

[ufo]

All these puns have me thinking of Tyra/Tira Banks

rules

 

[heslops barnet]

Just been watching Kluivert taking free tricks and corners, I will never understand why we are so poor when you consider the talent we have in our team. It’s as if we completely ignore set pieces in training.

We use dummies

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

It's a quality side and should be winning comfortably.

Also give the fan boys a chance to say goodbye to their loves, could be the last time they start a major fixture in our shirt.

It’s definitely not the best quality City team currently available!!!

And it will not be comfortable!!!

But I still hope it wins!!! :0)

 

[eastmanc]

That's a slow team. Anyway come on you Dolly Blues.

 

[robbieh]

Pretty radical tinkering considering we don't play til next Saturday.

Khusanov and Kova given a rest. I guess now that we have a big squad Pep will give players days off now with the world club thing in mind.

As for the team. Inexperienced back 4. No obvious holding midfielder. Phil has the tools to play false 9.

Where will Grealish play?

 

[Blue Llama]

We use dummies

To take them or to defend them?

 

[Gobshiight]

That team is more than good enough to win this with ease, and we have an insanely strong bench on the off-chance it is a struggle

Some people are acting as if we've named an XI solely from the EDS side

 

[Keeper!]

It’s definitely not the best quality City team currently available!!!

Hope?

FFS

 

[wattle]

Or we turn into Southampton

More likely

 

[Winchester]

Ffs get behind the team

 

[wattle]

Some players with some serious points to prove in this team. I expect a lot of effort if nothing else, which with the quality we have should be more than enough

 

[foggy1974]

I don’t really understand why Marmoush isn’t starting given that he needs to get up to speed, and show that he can deputise for Haaland as a number 9.

Obviously he's only been here 5 minutes but looked much more potent playing with Haaland & space behind than he has in the false 9 against RM & Lfc. It seems with the starting 11, Pep expects Plymouth to put men behind the ball

 

[Keeper!]

The bench is outrageous, some of you need to pull yourselves together.

Some of our players have had to play through the pain barrier for months, respect that.

 

[phargrave]

Both before and after Plymouth inevitably score.

On their first attempt…..

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I too think it will be a tougher game than it should be. But maybe thats the point. (Some of) These players need to prove themselves imo

 

[journolud]

Boo hiss I want to pick the team

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

Hope Kushanov isn’t injured
