***City v Spurs (A) | Official Match Thread***

Ake starting and on the bench?

sorry, for Ake in team now read Stones
Ederson
Walker Stones Dias Cancelo
Bernardo Fernandinho Gundogan
Mahrez Sterling Grealish (F/L)​

Bench: Steffen, Mendy, Laporte, Ake, Zinchenko, Rodri, Torres, Jesus, Palmer

I wouldn’t play Bernardo if he wants to leave. We all hated that he pushed Garcia in to the team when he wanted to leave.

Have to laugh Barcelona are in such shit they are relying on him being cleared to play

Spurs are shite but they have beaten us 3 times on the trot at their place (Without us scoring a fucking goal !!) and this could be 4th time if Baldeo decides to be a cunt.

Positive as always mate haha.

It’s fuckign true though - baldie has to play the top 11 today but I can guaran fuckign tee he will play Mendy at left back.

I think we're going to get turned over today and the media will write us off, as will some of us. It will be a tough and slow start of the season for us, I reckon. I just hope we aren't too far off once we click in to gear.

Before we start, who do you think's going to be the whipping boy for our woes?

Ffs is that a rhetorical question

I suppose it is. As sure as the Pope's a catholic someone's going to be singled out

Mind you, if it's Mendy I'll join in.

Bad feeling about this one. The weekends results seem to have been crap for us, and that usually means we end up losing. Their players will be well up for it trying to impress their new manager and it’s likely Pep won’t play a full strength team because he pretends they’re not fit.

Hes already making excuses mate.

All the other top teams won Baldie so you better fuckign win as well and stop with your excuses already !!

Ake, Sterling and Rodri. And Pep of course.

[john@staustell]

Bet nobody can predict the team.

Usual massive curved ball coming up from Pep

[bluemoon]

Dreading this given the lack of creativity we’ve displayed in the last two competitive games and lack of pre-season for most of our ‘starting 11’. Can’t help but think that they’ll just be looking to hit us on the break and once they score their standard fluky/dodgy goal, they’ll just put 11 behind the ball and grind out a win as they’ve done in the previous 3 games at home.

Good old Mendy. Most trophies per minute played in history

[patrickblue]

Maybe he's at Greggs

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY

[Sideshow Bob]

[Harry Dowd scored]

Ake for Stones?

[bluemoon]

De Bruyne on the bench, wasn’t expecting that!
