New season ahead. Coyf!

Interesting that Puel seems to have taken to using Ricardo as a right winger instead of a RB.

If we're just going to play Amartey there I'd prefer to see Simpson.

 

[Miles Away]

He’s ****ed off Shinji hasn’t he?

 

[NYC Fox]

OK I’m ashamed to admit this but I missed the James Maddison signing from Norwich. I’m amazed such a young signing from a Championship team is starting against Man U.

What are people’s thoughts of him?

 

[Lako42]

Oh ****

He'll be playing for England within a year.

 

[Graz]

Already cursing my fantasy team....

Has Kelechi in until 2 days ago. Then wasn't sure who'd play so took him out for Rashford. Then sentiment and excitement took over and I put Vardy in 2 mins before the deadline & the line-ups were revealed! Doh!

BRING IT ON

 

[Jeff]

Oh ****

Are we losing already?

Could be worse. He could do something ridiculous like put Harry Maguire in central midfield. Oh.

Why are you amazed? I’m pretty sure every other City fan fully expected him to play.

Not confident.

Not confident.

Nor I.

Mata, Pogba, Sanchez, Rashford.

I think he sees him as a RB. I presume he’s in there to offer defensive cover. Might be foolhardy to go to OT with two out-and-out attacking wingers. I expected Albrighton to play for the same reason but I’m happy with Ricardo playing there. I’m sure in lhome games against lesser teams we’ll see Diabate/Ghezzal play on the wing.

I’m happy with that side. Shame Evans isn’t starting but hopefully he’ll be ready by the Wolves game.

I never am. COYB

We have around 40 players. More than half of them won't be in the match day squad.

Only really Diabate and Okazaki had a realistic sniff of being involved.

Is that how it works?
