lol... it does seem like its open season on Mo. I can see Rodri holding him down while Gvardiol gives him noogies, and Mo getting booked for simulation

Nice

We basically have 15 first XI players now if that makes sense?

Alisson

Virgil
Konate
Matip
Trent
Robertson

MacAllister
Szbozlai
Jones
Gravenberch

Salah
Nunez
Diaz
Jota
Gakpo

Any of these could be in our XI and you could argue it's our strongest XI.

For this one, given who's available I'd go:

Alisson

Trent Konate Virgil Gomez

MacAllister

Szobzlai Jones

Salah Nunez Jota

Matip, Tsimikas, Diaz and Gravenberch all very unlucky to miss out.

Jones over Gravenberch just because I think he will keep possession better.

Gomez over Tsmikas as I'm worried about us defensively.

I wish Endo was good enough to start as a good DM would be huge for us here, but for me he's just not quite up to a game played at the frantic pace this one will be played at.

Szbozlai

You'll get the hang of it sooner or later

[Pablo]

I plan on spelling it differently every single time I mention him

It is true though right that we have no clear best XI right now? It is a good thing too.

[Shaggy]

Yeah agreed, can make 4-5 changes in midfield and attack and arguably be as strong.

So which of our players will it be who gets sent off for highlighting that Rodri has got away with his 15th cynical foul?

Also clamping down on weak penalties. So after City benefitting from quite a few in recent weeks, let's watch Mo get suplexed in the box and told to get on with it.

Or who knows, maybe they'll apply these rules fairly for a change and we'll actually benefit for once.

When I saw this I thought that this is going to last for 1 team in 1 game and I think we can all guess which ones...

Do we know if Haaland is fit?

[RedReet]

Had a good feeling about Mo scoring in this, but just looked into some stats.

In the last 10 games we've scored against City, Mo has scored in 9 of them.

In the 2 matches after IB this year, Mo has 2 goals and 2 assists.

In his last 2 matches before this, he's 6 goals and 1 assist and will be well rested.

Also skim read an article earlier highlighting how much weaker City have been down their left side this year.

Edit: Didn't realise Egypt played a 2nd game. Mo's good run over.

Do we know if Haaland is fit?

Think most of the City players that were unavailable for the international games will recover in time for the game at the weekend.


VVD will sort him anyway.

Love the way they introduce rules at the start of the season, run with them for about 2 weeks, then sack them off and bring them back again.

Good process.

Id do him for half his weeks wages
