Good line up

 

[tommybooth]

Let's hope H is fully fit. Nil 4!!!

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Happy enough.

Absolutely the right call to drop Foden, Lewis and Kev.

If we had a proper right back and Rodri alongside Nico, dare say I would expect us to be challenging for a title with that starting eleven.

 

[Gigant]

With that 4 in the attack you dont need creative midfielder, just chip the ball over

I think that would like something like this in possesion:

 

[Bluearmy]

Well its an attacking line up. We should cause them some trouble, hopefully. Be interesting if Nico/Kova can give us a strong enough base to let the attacking players do their thing...

 

[Gaz76]

Looking at the team I reckon a ten nil could be on the cards with this one, just not sure who to

 

[ninjamonkey]

Marmoush, doku, savinho

But apart from those 3, and apart from a fullback pairing with 8 goals and 10 assists between them, wheres the creativity?

 

[theres only one carlito]

can’t really complain about the team I expect nunes and gvardiol ti give us width and threat ala Chelsea. Balls over the top to the pacey forwards is exactly what we need against spuds high line/press. Come on city!!!

No prime Messi whenever he plays us Kulusevski is a welcome bonus

 

[ninjamonkey]

I'll be cringeing every time Son cuts in from the left, like he does. Please, Nunes, get your foot in, don't wait and try to block the shot from 5 yards away...

Otherwise, still confident with that lineup

You won't be doing it from kick off as son isn't starting

 

[berniethebusman]

You must have forgotten Huckerby . Run Forrest, run….

Hard to forget Huckerby when Marmoush has been doing such a good impression of him since arriving.

 

[axlgod]

Come On City!!!

 

[SCEtoAUX]

I like that line up and whilst Nunes has his critics, I feel big game for the lad coming up.

 

[theres only one carlito]

Happy enough.

Absolutely the right call to drop Foden, Lewis and Kev.

If we had a proper right back and Rodri alongside Nico, dare say I would expect us to be challenging for a title with that starting eleven.

A consistently fit Ake wouldn’t go a miss either

 

[pbueno16]

Kovacic, I pray you don't cock it up today.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Wouldn't bet against Ederson getting an assist tonight.

Spurs play a ridiculously high line at the back and I reckon we'll play the same tactics as we did against Newcastle. Haaland the focal point with Marmoush running in behind

 

[its a Barm]

I'm happy with that team full on attacking there's got to be some goals in it

 

[Saddleworth2]

If you don’t think there’s creativity coming from Doku Savio and Marmoush. 2 more defensively minded players in Nico and Kova makes complete sense (to me anyway)

I think there is potential. How many assists from Doku/Savinho this season? I hope I'm wrong. Prime KDB is impossible to replace. I'd hoped that Phil would make a fist of it but certainly not this season.

 

[Haaland94]

Win or lose, I think this is our strongest starting 11 right now. Maybe it's a controversial take, maybe not, but it seems very balanced and "refreshed". All the underperforming lads are on the bench to get a bit of a rest. We can lose 5-0 here, and I will still think this is our best 11 at the moment, and should be given an extended run of games.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Feels strange to say but glad there’s no Foden in the starting XI. He seems exhausted.
