This is crazy. A formation/setup completely untried during preseason. What’s Mikel cooking?
Idk, he might be underestimating Forest. I’d prefer either a double 6 with Partey or Trossard for Havertz.
Had a wedding last night and got 3 hours sleep. It’s going to be a miracle if I make it for KO tomorrow.
Really hoping we can open the season with the win. On paper this should be a pretty easy opener, but I’m worried last seasons success might have the players feeling extra stress.
Plenty of time for sleep! Still got over 12 hours until kick off lad!
Flo just posted the lineup on his Instagram story. Feels very backhanded to me.
I’ve learnt to just ignore his social media.
tbf, on the other hand he twote a “coyg” on twitter
He’s listed as injured.
Do you guys think we’ll see a different starting 11 from the Community Shield match?
Definitely different. We don’t need the defensive stability of Rice Partey, so Havertz at left 8 for me and Nketiah at striker. Rumour is that Rice isn’t fully fit so we should let Partey be the 6 for the game as well.
Let’s batter them. I would really like some revenge for our away lose.
Word is, we didn’t get the paperwork done in time for Raya. Wonder if we’ll see Hein or Okonkwo — and which one — on the bench then. (or possibly even Hillson)
Or maybe even Runarsson
Both Okonkwo and Hein.
Already plan to make a big old pot of coffee tomorrow am since got evening shift tonight.
I’m hoping we see Trossard start.
Potential 3-2-2-3 with back 3. No Magalhaes, Kai and Ø behind front 3.
So excited for the season to be back, City set the pace, let’s keep up! COYG!
Let’s see if Trossard starts. The man deserves it
Agreed. I think he will start Trossard and Havertz. Maybe Rice on the bench and load the attack for the first half. Need to come out of the blocks fast tomorrow.
We got a match thread going?
Someone’s gonna get fired or have to write a full length report regarding this ticketing system lol
Delay at the turnstiles; game starts half an hour late. Probably cuz of the new system.
Havertz over Trossard :(
😑 were there any problems the other day with entry?
No, seemed fine for Monaco
I’m wondering…if some dumbasses forgot to update to the new app?
The pass is on Apple / Google wallet, not the app itself. It seemed the whole of the ticket / gate system needed to be reset at one point as no one was getting in.
