My mind is kind of blanking right now. If Rodri is out and Kalvin Phillips is now off to Ipswich, I can’t even remember who is in their CM. What’s his face they bought from Wolves and KdB gonna play in CM against us, then?

Called Mateo Kovacic, you might have heard his name before. Also they got Mateus Nunes.

Neto is fully fit according to EM, but he said he has only been with the group a few days and needs to understand how we play

Just shot the cunt in ahead of Mudryk

I am actually confident about getting something from this game. Bar James, we have a virtually fully available squad. City looked laboured against United last weekend and we have more players than United do. But the biggest thing, is we need to go at them. No Rodri is a big bonus, but no use if we let them dominate the ball. Hit them at every opportunity. The negative optimism from most people towards us may just give Maresca and players extra motivation to spring a 'surprise'.

He is also suspended, he made sure not to play this game.

I would fully expect him to get injured while suspended anyway

I like that, shows he isn't the yes man people make him out to be, he's picked the lads and sent the rest packing.

Rodri, Walker, Stones and Foden going into this with zero pre season minutes. KDB and Silva without a start. I expect us to use this circumstances and get 3 points. 

Add now Bobb and Grealish injured and Alvarez also left. Anything less than a win would be huge disappointment.

He’s out for three games. It’s fine. 

Hes the only one injured too. Been a while since we had everyone available

Had we not changed manager, system/formation and half the team, I'd agree with you.

They are just too much of a well-oiled machine to be taken for granted. Grealish has hardly played given that Doku is twice the player... and who the fuck is Bobb? 😆

With that said, it's still a good time to play them--better if it was an away match too.
