***Treble Winners v Bournemouth Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

Back to the PL after the players have had a rest after no midweek game. Bournemouth have never beaten us in the league and I see no reason why that trend should be stopped today

Fresh after drubbing the rags with a great performance as well. I see something similar here but hopefully with more clinical finishing

4-0 Foden to score first, then a brace from Haaland with Bernie finishing it off

[Mase]

Come on City

[john@staustell]

Gonna go for 5 nil today

No matter what Pep's selection is, we should have far too much for them.
The only problen I could possiblynforesee is that they crowd theirn 6yd box denying City space in the crucial last 1/3rd.
We should not forget that we won't have Jonny Fuckin Evans and Slabhead to help us out
Could go either way, City massive possession but scratch9ng a win or we rip them inside out and grab a bagful.

I'LL SETTLE FOR A BAGFUL

As NB says they've never beaten us P18 D2 L16

Iraola was winless in all 14 competitive appearances as an Athletic Bilbao player against a Pep Guardiola-managed Barcelona (D4, L10).

From a GD perspective this game is an obvious choice to widen the very close gap from those around us.

I am hoping for what NT is expecting, a good drubbing so the media cunts can roll out "City ruining football..... City inflicting cruelty....... "

Gomez arrives on crutches. He wouldn’t have played anyway.

[Harry Dowd scored]

I always worry when our guys start predicting cricket scores, it doesn’t always work like that in my experience.

[Outcast]

I hope he doesn't bring Akanji back to the starting line

I don't, usually, these days for that reason. But we are due one

[PaulieIrish]

Team to play Bournemouth: Ederson, Walker, Akanji, Stones, Ake, Rodri, Kovacic, Bernardo, Alavarez, Haaland, Doku.

Subs: Ortega, Dias, Phillips, Grealish, Gvardiol, Nunes, Foden, Bobb, Lewis.

XI | Ederson, Walker (C), Stones, Akanji, Ake, Rodrigo, Kovacic, Bernardo, Doku, Alvarez, Haaland

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Dias, Phillips, Grealish, Gvardiol, Nunes, Foden, Bobb, Lewis

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

[Original Dub]

Definitely not our strongest starting lineup but I completely get it with the fixtures after these next two games.

Come on City!!

[john@staustell]

I hope he doesn't bring Akanji back to the starting line

[Beefymcfc]

One on City!

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY

[blues2win]

Dias rested. Probably tired shagging his new girlfriend. I’d be surprised if he and Gvardiol don’t start against Young Boys. Looks like an easy tie but Pep wants to win the Group so needs three on Tuesday and then at least a draw against Leipzig.

[Outcast]

I hope he doesn't bring Akanji back to the starting line

Something must be going on in the shower room

[Mase]

Kova and Akanji. Terrible

[carl_feedthegoat]

Fucking around with the defence once more - he Just cannot fucking help himself can he !!!
