***West Ham v Champions Official Match Thread***

Last game before the infernal international break

Got a good record against these so quietly confident. No Foden apparently but might we see Rodders on the bench?

Any old win at this stage while we play ourselves back in with the late returners will do me. Haaland though looks very sharp so far and hungry for more goals as well so hopefully he can be the difference

2-0 Haaland Bernado

Foden the new Stones?

[blues2win]

Surprisingly Foden hadn’t recovered as of yesterday from his ‘illness’. Usually these things are 48 hour wonders.Covid? Rodri back in full training but we’ll see whether he starts or is on the bench. Kovacic got a bang on the knee but should be ok to start. West Ham have some good players. Kudus for instance is very good. 3 points would be excellent.

[john@staustell]

Foden is "ill' quite a lot. Must be all those kids bringing home germs.

Kovacic was cynically clogged my Mase's mate, the donkey that is Delap. He must've had something on the ref who kept refusing to book him

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

[Mase]

Where's SAvio?

[Outcast]

Mase kidnapped him so Jackie can start

To be fair it’s Doku that should be dropped. He’s been shiiiiiiiiite

What year was 'Jack' super at anything ?.....He needs to up his game to convince me he deserves to start.

Shame about Silvinho....he has been brilliant.

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY

[john@staustell]

Maybe he will play Doku left and Bernardo Silva on the right? Doku on the right was fairly catastrophic last week. Maybe Jack will play off Haaland?

The winning everything season - before he went on the piss for 3 months and never recovered!

[blues2win]

Savinho has a knee injury. City hopeful he’ll be back after the international break.
