Traditional Saturday 3pm KO for this one.

They’ve won 3 of their 6 games so far so we shouldn’t take this lightly. That said, I do expect us to win and continue our 100% record

Hoping Bouaddi gets some game time as well. Assume this is Fodens last match of his suspension? Hoping Donnarumma has had a bit of extra shot stopping practice the last couple of days as well.

4-0 Haaland (2) Ndiaye Anderson

Not read it properly, just saw a notification pop up this afternoon, but i gather Enzo said he was not averse to resting the likes of Erling.

I'm guessing the team sheet will be proof.......

With a chumps league game on Tuesday, can see us making changes. Ideally, those should be after we have the game safe and not in the starting lineup. Keep Dias on the bench along with Doku and then swap Doku with Semenyo. Bouaddi to get some more game time but doubt he starts over Cherki.

Foden can play, his 3 games included Norwich

Very confident ahead of this, afterall there is only one PSG and don't play the PL. :D
Is gonna be a very entertaining match for the lucky arses in attendance.
Will refrain from asking the start of "that player" so perhaps Enzo will give him the go.

3-0 Haaland, Fernandez, Elliott.

I've lodged an appeal. To get another 3 :D

Tricky selections. Cherki, brilliant against Dippers but playing with a midfield man short against PSG. Bouddi brilliant against PSG. Anderson, brilliant but surely battered.

Another game on Tuesday, be interesting to see how he rests and juggles things.

A midfield three who have never played together before. Worrying.

Hope we have our shooting boots on

Not by much
Both Foden and Kovacic probably shouldn’t even be at the club and Bouaddi is 19 with hardly any game time thus far

We'll be fine. Foden, Kova and Bouaddi are all quality players. Ndiaye has fantastic work rate and O'Reilly will no doubt be stepping into midfield to help as well.

Bouaddi will be Kovas legs for him.

Sensible changes for me, important we win in Tuesday after the PSG defeat and were bringing in players that start for nearly over other team on the league

Pretty surpring line-up, still very good and enough to get the job done.
No way he rests Diaz l even on a heavy rotation...

Btw, just saw extended highlights of the 2022 demolition derby, to get into the mood.
So glorious to see plastic Munichs fans flee the stand before ht is whistled :lol:

Actually let them off the hook.

Should have smashed 8 or 9 past them

Just seen a half n half in the crowd, the club should ban them from the stadium.
