is he trying to lose?!

Last season, this team would have been confident of winning. This season Nunes? Bernardo? No pace in the midfield and Foden and Silva out of sorts Haaland might not touch the ball - or they sort themselves out and come good. Marmoush got to feature for Silva asap

I guess the Semi-final draw will be made live after the Rags game at Old Toilet again :roll:

Echeverri not even a sub. Feel sorry for him. If Pep doesnt play him at all this sesson i'd be asking for a transfer. City have raised his profile, he'll have no shortage of takers and i wouldn't blame hime one bit

Ederson is a plus
The midfield is horrible. No pace at all


we don't need pace , we need control and goals. Preferably one more goal than Bournemouth. Besides Khuso is pretty fast.

Bournemouth have pace in their midfield. Let’s see how ours fares against it. My bet is not well, and let’s hope I’m wrong otherwise we are clapping again

Guessing we’ll play high full backs which would make the midfield look more solid than on paper. Leaves Foden and Bernardo playing inside Gvardiol and Nunes respectively.

Bournemouth are without both Huijsen and Kerkez due to suspensions which weakens their defence quite a bit.

Him over Gvardiol?

Surprised Foden still gets a game


Yes. You reward players when they’ve played well. Josko nearly cost us a goal against Brighton - him and Dias fuckin around

Not confident with this lineup. Where’s the pace and threat coming from? Pass it around until they nick it and watch them run through us? God I hope I’m wrong.
Tracking back is overrated.
