***Champions v Inter Official Match Thread***

Almost forgot this was on.

Probably one of the toughest fixtures we have, but as it’s at home I still fully expect us to get the win. Hopefully we might see Foden get some minutes and I assume Rodri will be back.

2-0 Haaland and Foden

[Mase]

Rodri needs the minutes to be ready for Arsenal.

Foden may still be on the naughty step.

Dias and Akanji should be starting with Lewis and Josko fullbacks.

[stupot]

This is our hardest group game by a mile. They won Serie A by 19 points last season.
Any win will be great.

[salford city]

As Notts said in the other thread, imagine we will show our respects for Totto who has passed at 59 - top striker at Italia 90. Should be a good test for us ahead of the arse on sunday and a chance to breakdown a team that will sit back - exactly like sunday

[blues2win]

A draw would be fine tbh. Savio apparently fit. Just had cramp apparently. I suspect Walker will start ahead of Rico. Not sure he deserves to. Will Pep play a double pivot with Rodri and Kovacic? Lautaro Martinez their danger man.

good job you're not our manager...

[Original Dub]

Apparently Martinez isn't starting?

[blues2win]

Since I’m not the manager I’m not sure what your point is. It is likely to be a very tight match and a draw is possible.

[blues2win]

If Martinez isn’t playing it’s good news.

[Mase]

Martinez the guy that’s got zero goals in 3 games in the league this season?

[blues2win]

Three matches isn’t many?

Predictions

Walker or Rico?

Bernardo or Savio?

Grealish or Doku?

Foden to start somewhere?

Gundo to start?

COME ON CITY

[CTID Hants]

XI | Ederson, Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Rodrigo, De Bruyne (C), Bernardo, Savinho, Grealish, Haaland

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Carson, Walker, Stones, Kovacic, Doku, Gundogan, Nunes, Foden, McAtee

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

[Mase]

Three matches isn’t many?

Haaland has 8 goals in 3 matches. They’ll probably be more worried about him than we are of this guy that can’t get in front of Alvarez for Argentina.

[blues2win]

Rico starts in a big match ahead of Walker. Quite a moment. Akanji and Dias. Grealish ahead of Doku. Bernardo Rodri De Bruyne in midfield. Strong team.

[Mase]

Pep has got that absolutely 100000000% spot on!! Well done Sir Pep

[blues2win]

Martinez on the bench. Clearly not fit for 90.

[nottsblue]

XI | Ederson, Lewis, Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Rodrigo, De Bruyne (C), Bernardo, Savinho, Grealish, Haaland

SUBS | Ortega Moreno, Carson, Walker, Stones, Kovacic, Doku, Gundogan, Nunes, Foden, McAtee

Decent line up

WTF is up with Foden though?

[blues2win]

Who would you have left out for Foden?
