Apparently this is the team.

Ederson, Mendy, Laporte, Dias, Cancelo, Gundogan, Bernardo, de Bruyne, Ferran, Jesus, Mahrez

Wow if true

No point getting mad at the team news. So many of the players are either out of form or not good enough. Expect this:

Eddie
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
Gundo Rodders
FFS Kev Sterling
Jesus

Can we not just call him Mahrez seeing as though he is one of our own players.

I’d be reasonably happy with that tbh.

Wow if true

No way that's the team ... wait for 2pm

Not even Pep would play Mendy at right back

I haven't been on the pre-match thread for a long time. To give an idea of how long ago it is Bluemoon was a forum for City fans then.

 

[Eccles Blue]

THE BOYS IN BLUE NEVER GIVE IN. THEY FIGHT TO THE END. This fan in Blue will never give in. Sergio says we can win the league I’m with Sergio!
COME ON CITY. COME ON CITY.



Stay safe, take care everyone.

And one of our better ones recently.

 

[willipp]

Wow if true

Massively not true.

 

[mcfc_ms]

Wow if true

Not true unfortunately

 

[mccity]

That's an interesting team. Hopefully it works!

 

[mancity1]

I’d be reasonably happy with that tbh.

A team that fights for every ball and puts away its chances no matter the 11 would be nice.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I don't have a clue whats going to happen today, reminds me of travelling down to Main Road in the Pearce, Hughes days

Sounds like you don't didn't have a clue what was happening in the Pearce Hughes days either.

Rest of your post I can't fault pal : )

 

[Ric]

No Laporte or Steffen in the squad?

 

[pudge]

Do fuck right off with Rodri and Gundogan, Pep, how are you that blind?

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Jesus?

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Laporte indeed in Pep's doghouse. Theres definitely more to it than just poor game vs Spurs

Tha board are also a fucking shambles for not bringing a striker in in the summer.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

No Jesus, even on the bench?!

It’s not even worth getting agitated about the double pivot yet again. As ever though, the consequence is that it’s difficult to see any goals in that line up (assuming that Southampton aren’t dopey enough to go 4-4-2 and try and take the game to us like Burnley did)
