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

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 20:00 (BST). Live on TNT Sport for those in the UK.

Now is probably the time to experiment on a midfield without Rodri and De Bruyne. I expect Foden and Stones to come into the team. Probably bring Doku and Savinho in as they didn't start against Newcastle.

Get it won and then quite a few days rest before Fulham (H).

Ederson
Akanji, Dias, Stones, Gvardiol
Lewis, Kovacic
Savinho, Foden, Grealish
Haaland

Time for that front four to get to know each other.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

This should be one of our easiest games this side of Christmas, so we need to rotate a few.

Ortega
Akanji Dias Gvardiol
Stones Kovacic
Savinho Nunes Foden Doku
McAtee

Should with respect be easier than playing Watford.

Just get a 2 goal buffer and play out time.....if only it was ever that simple.

As Celtic battered them we'll win 1-0

:)

Save Kova as well, he is our Rodri backup right now. Replace him with Lewis and maybe Walker in for Akanji. I agree with the rest. Full strength for Fulham, please.

Want to see a front 3 of Doku Foden Savio

Nunes and McAtee need to feature and probably both from the start. If they don’t, then the next time they are likely to get starts will be against Sparta Prague on October 23rd. That would then be a full month since the Watford League Cup tie. Those two also need to be trusted now because the more work we give Kovavic and Gundogan, the sooner they will tire in what is a long season.
