***Treble Winners v Brighton Official Match Thread***

Thank God the International break is over

Back to proper football

Which sees the visit of Brighton. Who are blowing hot and cold this season. Thrashed last time out at Villa.

Assume Stones is back in the mix? Rodri will be back and not before time. As usual, any old win will do. But I think we could turn it on here today

4-0 Haaland with a couple, Doku and Gvardiol with the goals

Stones probably injured and saving himself for the next international break

I haven't yet got one prediction right

[carl_feedthegoat]

If Haaland keeps missing easy chances then I fear another upset .
I’d actually not start him as id rather put Alvarez upfront oN his own and play to his strengths .

[mr_nool]

I predict plenty of goals. 3-2 City.

Chris Sutton who has replaced Lawro on the BBC predictions has similar thoughts. He went 6-2 to us!

That's going out on a limb.

Poor atmosphere, I was going to write it’s a library, then realised these cunts can’t even read.

Oops wrong thread

Are we one up yet?

[blues2win]

A strong side. Surprised to see Edersona and Dias on the bench. Doku starts instead of Grealish.

[stevefromdonny]

so the rumour was right Dias and Ederson have been dropped because they were late reporting back from international duty. As in — not not fit, but breaking team rules.

[Mase]

How can Walker be captain? The guy was on the verge of leaving and got his cock out in public. WTF is going on.

You just noticed mate?

Makes sense as they are shoo ins.

Disappointing all the same

[Outcast]

The tinkering at the back yet again.

[john@staustell]

Coming off the bus, Mr Foden just looked glumly straight ahead and held his arm out. Never looked at any fans, nor smiled. I don't like that.

Everybody else looked at fans and smiled to some extent. Pep and Grealish like lunatics!

Dias on the naughty step

Wonder how many fuck ups Akanji has in him today
