Start the defence of our trophy

Maybe finally get to see a bit of KDB? You’d think so

Imagine there’ll be a lot of changes which often leads to a disjointed performance, but as long as we win and don’t pick up injuries or suspensions, it’s the order of the day

3-0 Bobb KDB Alvarez

[salford city]

Ortega and a full strength defence. I'd imagine that Bobb and Rico will start. If bernie isnt fit and neither are Nunes and Phillips, Foden will surely start in the middle with Kova and Rico. Bobb Alvarez and Grealish / Doku up front. Not sure that Haaland needs to be anywhere near a game or KDB unless things are going badly wrong

[Mase]

Gutted about Nunes. We could have seen him shine against opposition his level. Shame.

[blues2win]

Rodri a doubt because of the death of his grandmother. Nunes Phillips and Bernardo doubts because of illness. Stones not back in squad yet. Kevin sure to get some minutes in the second half. Doku fit and will likely get minutes or even start. Haaland 50 50 to make the squad.

Pep said in his presser that Rodri was in Madrid and not back, yet he's on the bench!

That will do we can hold Nunes back in case we need him

[blues2win]

A strong team. Bobb and Lewis get deserved starts.

[Mase]

Looks like 3 at the back with Gomez and Rico wingbacks?

Sorry Notts, your predictions have been cursed this season, forget logic, maybe you should try reverse psychology predictions starting next weekend?

It's safe to say, we should be fine today but you never know

[john@staustell]

What time does iplayer/red button stuff start?

No, no , now we can't have things being falsely reported about City and Pep ! He said he should be back for Sunday, but if needs to stay on in Spain it was ok.
This site isn't the Maily Dail or Grauniad y'know we like to get to the truth of the matter here.

Anyway I hope Nunes comes on and scores a hat trick for Mase.

I am not even going to mention that Gvardiol appears to be playing centre back, ( i can't see Gomez there, but who knows with Pep? ).
I'm worried that if i do, he might make as many fcukups as he does at Left back.

Oh , i guess i've just put the mockers on him.
