Slovan Bratislava (A) - Tues 1st Oct, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

Stones, Foden and Nunes to start IMO. Fulham game in mind but this match will allow Pep to fine-tune for the weekend.

 

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

McAtee will be playing for England U21s tbf, and they’ve got a pretty big game against Ukraine. He still should be starting tomorrow though.

How can this be ? Surely the club that pays his wages gets first dabs ? If not, then that's baffling.

I dont know what you mean? McAtee will be playing for England U21 in the international break next week, but he's still available tomorrow and at the weekend for City.

The way I read it, it looked like he was playing the same night. No worries pal.

Same team as Watford but Savio for Grealish

Ortega
Walker - Stones - Braithwaite - Lewis
McAtee - Nunes - O'Rielly
Savio - Foden - Doku

Some of these line ups are laughable. Pep ALWAYS goes strong during the early rounds of the champions league.

Braithwaite. Thats a good one.
Its an away match.

Its "At home with the Braithwaites"

 

[EdersonsSmiley]

It's a good opportunity to test how Stones and Kovacic look as a midfield duo. We need to nail down what our first choice midfield is going to be as soon as possible.

This. It isn't a Carabao Cup fixture against a League 2 team, it's the Champions League FFS. Yes, they should be beatable but we shouldn't be taking anything for granted at this stage.
