Don't care what this is seen as.. Losing to city on some poxy scoreline be dire. Hopefully we can start things off with a bang.. Before all starts for real and window goes.. 

[Milan 17,854]

Hopefully no more 'prepare to suffer without the ball' and being happy with losing just 1-0 and not being destroyed....

[Vesper 28,856]

SELL MORATA PLEASE.

that is all

 

[Jase 43,479]

Jon Moss will be the referee for this match.

[bigbluewillie 1,859]

Not expecting too much of a result hope we don't get hammered. it's early days yet, my main hope is that we play a decent style of Sarriball.

Let's hope they surprise me play well and win

[Magic Lamps 11,655]

We usually lose the CS (last win in 2009) and also usually lose vs City so no high hopes really but I got know idea how far City are in their preperations so maybe we are further ahead. Also do we have Hazard back?

 

No the Belgians and the Frenchies will not be back by then so I expect we will play exactly like we did vs Arsenal

Sarri said(in press conference after Arsenal)  he'd talk with Hazard/Willian/Courtois for the first time on Saturday (face to face). 

Doubt they'll play against City.

play to win,smack them in the mouth a few times,see what happens but at the bare minimum, go down fighting...none of that shameful surrender monkey shit.

Kante and Hazard aren't back yet.  Bats returned early, to London, but I don't think any of those 3 actually join up with the squad until Saturday.  Same goes for T-Bo, and the chances of getting a new keeper by Sunday is slim.

I would actually have an instantaneous sex wee if we won!

Probably same team vs Inter, not sure about who will play GK though. I have 0 confidence in Cabalerro

[!Hazard! 3,394]

Bulka and Emerson must start

[Hamilton 2,120]

Is Bulka nr1 material for the future?

Why should we play Willian or Tibo? Pedro has been training since the start. 

And Kante/Hazard are not back yet. 

I agree it would be a prep match against a better team which I dont see winning. 

[Starman60 1,343]

Probably see the same stating eleven as against Gunners. Willian maybe comes into the side, but hopefully not at the expanse of Hudson-Odoi. I'm a bit unsure about Christensen as he is prone to make a major clanger almost every game so I'd favour Luiz to start. Also all this negativity from some guys on here about us losing by a big score is daft. Lets not base this match on how they spanked us last season. We have some pretty good ballers on our team and given the right tactics we can trouble them. Both sides playing the same style should make for a highly entertaining match.
