A 3pm kick. I don't believe it. Think this will be our biggest problem. I mean how are we meant to.prepaire for a 3pm kick off.
Seriously tho think it will be a needs must game as deep defense and block what you can when you can. If we get a break then try our best to make something happen.

I'd be tempted to go to a back three for this one and either pack the midfield as well or play one of the wide players. So something like:
------------------------------Turner-------------------------------
------Worrall-----------------Boly--------------Niakhate--------
Aina--------Yates----------Sangare-------Mangala-----Tavares
--------------------------------MGW-------------------------------
-------------------------------Awoniyi------------------------------
Or leave out one of Yates or Mangala and include either CHO or Elanga.

I think barring injury (or Felipe appearing) this will be the team, not sure whether Niakhate would play ahead of McKenna though...

What's up with Niakhate?
He was fantastic in the run in last season, can't get a look in now after his elbow injury.
McKenna is solid but Niakhate is much more mobile & dynamic plus his throw in's are dangerous.

Was he that great? I remember him being a bit clumsy and erratic although he was clearly more athletic.
Those throws were a weapon though if his injury has healed properly.

Quite funny that Pep's talking us up by saying they're playing against the two-times Champions League winners Nottingham Forest next.
I mean, I know it's correct (well, European Cup incarnation anyway) but given the wider context of the two clubs as they are now it's still funny.
RE: Manchester City - Nottingham Forest - Salvatore Matrecano - 20-09-2023
Bernardo Silva, Kevin de Bruyne, Jack Grealish, Mateo Kovacic and John Stones all likely to be missing for City.
Obviously no side could possibly cope with missing that type of quality and we will effectively be playing Man City reserves so we should win easily.
RE: Manchester City - Nottingham Forest - Fumanchew - 20-09-2023
I think Elanga drops for an additional CB, and if Serge isn’t fit then nuno on the left and Aina on the right .
We will have learnt a lot over both our games against them last time. Hoping for more of our home performance then our away performance last year

Not going to be a better chance to pick up a point or three than at this very time.........City are hit with quite a few injuries.

Their 3rd team is still better than ours.
