***City v Bournemouth Official Match Thread***

[nottsblue]

I want to see a big improvement from last week TBH. We have a great home record against these having won the last 8 whilst scoring 31. Rather think it's likely to be much closer today though as Bournemouth are playing well this season and Semenyo is a big threat

Cherki surely has to start? Hopefully Haaland has nursed his balls back after colliding with the post last week as well!

A nervy 2-1 Reijnders and Cherki

[Blue Jam]

I'm sure I won't be the only pessimistic poster today.

We will be lucky if we only drop 2 points.

Haaland has begin a goal drought, which might help us in the long term by forcing us to fnd other ways of scoring.

Dippers and rags will remain ahead of us at the end of the day.

Bournemouth's quick breaks could be devastating. But we do tend to do well at home.

Everyone thinks Cherki should start - but we all know what that means

If sense prevails there's a queue of likely candidates who shouldn't start ahead of him - Bobb, Foden, Savinho, the bad version of Doku, Bernardo Silva..........

City win with a scare. 5-2

[salford city]

Strongest team possible fuck looking at chumps league game on Wednesday. Must win game to keep us up there

[CTID Hants]

Lining up for City today!

XI | Donnarumma, Nunes, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Nico, Bernardo (C), Foden, Cherki, Doku, Haaland

SUBS | Trafford, Reijnders, Stones, Ake, Marmoush, Rodri, Ait-Nouri, Savinho, Lewis

Cherki in for Reijnders

[PeterParker]

Are we one up yet?

[nottsblue]

Bernardo? Seriously?

[john@staustell]

Half decent side, with Cherki in the middle with Foden, hopefully

Reijnders taking a well deserved place on the bench

[john@staustell]

Bernardo? Seriously?

Or Bobb, or Savinho? Not a great selection to be fair

[nottsblue]

Bernardo? Seriously?

Or Bobb, or Savinho? Not a great selection to be fair

Is Bobb injured? Not even in the squad

Hard to see who he would knock off the bench tbh. Seeing how piss poor he's been especially

[stevefromdonny]

COME ON CITY

[nottsblue]

COME ON BLUE BOYS

[PeterParker]

Why no Khus?

[Beefymcfc]

Come on City!

[nottsblue]

Why no Khus?

Surprised at the omission myself

[nottsblue]

Carved open

[zabbadabbado]

We were lucky there.

There was no need for him to be offside looking across the back line.

[PeterParker]

this is how you high press.

[stevefromdonny]

What was doku doing there, if you are doing a pass make sure its hard enough to get to the player not flick it
