2-1 City win

 

[Damanino]

hope Pep rewatching the game from May. that first half was so poor from us, defence all over the place, not much end product upfront.

Stones and foden in for Ake and grealish

Kick off time 16:30 (BST), live on Sky Sports.

Hopefully today's game was the game we needed to dust the cobwebs off.

We started last season with a loss a Spurs (A) so we must be aiming to go one better here.

I don't expect us to change the personnel too much if at all, hopefully we can pick up the 3 points and get our season started.


Predicted team:
--------------Ederson
Walker---Dias---Ake---Cancelo
---------------Rodri
-----De Bruyne---Bernardo
Mahrez-----Haaland---Grealish

 

[Ric]

Not an ideal first fixture, given how off the pace we looked today but hopefully we’ll be sharper with another week of training behind us.

Wouldn’t surprise me if we saw the same starting XI as today, but I’d like to see Stones, Foden and Alvarez from the off.

How can you drop Ake though, he did nothing wrong.

 

[CityBluez]

Not overly confident about this game considering how off we looked today.

Ake was good today, a bit unlucky with Trents goal

Will be very interested with the Line up
