The one where if we (or anybody else) win it's another trophy and if we lose it doesn't matter/no preparation/friendly match/players away/no new signings etc.

But I would prefer a win

Grealish out with a training injury apparently. No Foden Stones Walker Alvarez or Rodri obviously. Pep hinted Phillips might play at CB in the absence of a lot of CBs. He also said Ederson would start. Will any of those who started training on Tuesday start? Kevin Ake Akanji Dias Bernardo and of course the new boy Savio? Bobb McAtee Lewis guaranteed starts you’d think. Maybe O’Reilly too. Obviously the two Croatians.

Bernardo might get a start then
Ederson;
Rico Lewis, Manuel Akanji, Ruben Dias, Joško Gvardiol;
Bernardo Silva, Mateo Kovačic, Kevin de Bruyne;
Oscar Bobb, Erling Haaland(F/L), Jérémy Doku:

Bench: Stefan Ortega, Nathan Aké, Jahmai Simpson Pusey, Matheus Nunes, Nico O'Reilly, Kalvin Phillips, Maximo Perrone, James McAtee, Savinho.

City win 3-0​

That’s a awful lot of players with very little training time. I’d be very surprised if Kevin started for instance.

i have a feeling that we’re going to absolutely hammer them. 5-0 minimum

I’d rather play a decent CB like Doyle than fuckin Phillips. It takes the piss

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Carson, Phillips, Ake, De Bruyne, Bernardo, Savinho, Nunes, Kabore

I've seen them.

O'Reilly though seems to be the man of the moment, and starts

[john@staustell]

Casemiro, Evans, Maguire....

Fuck me I might see if they give me a run out for 50 grand

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

[blues2win]

O’Reilly over Phillips says it all.
