Based on the Everton game, I'm amazed Jesus gets in before Aguero.

He doesn't seem to pick on current form.

[sheblue]

Surprised sergio is out.
But otherwise it's a very good team.

4 at the back. Ferna sitting in front. The rest of them doing what they want.

[City64]

Long day in the boozer today ..................

City do the bizz on the south coast then Wigan Warriors in the challenge cup final at Wembley 3 pm ko I could be wasted later !

Pleased about four at the back. Pleased at Mendy starting. Pleased at Bernardo and Sterling starting. Would have gone for Stones instead of Otamendi and Aguero instead of Jesus. Still it's a very strong side and great to have new full backs on both flanks.

[PeterParker]

4-4-2?

Win.

Agree with all of that but I'm particularly looking forward to watching Bernardo, I think he'll be key for us against the Alamo formation this season.

[mr_nool]

I was worried about today but seeing that line up I think we're gonna slaughter them.

[Beefymcfc]

Looks like a very strong attacking side. Bit pissed that Aguero's benched as he's my FFT Captain.

Is that a back 4?

No.

Sorry, yes.

Bit early to be pissed already mate

[Saul Goodman]

Really like this team. Excited to see Mendy and Bernardo.
Going for a 3-1 or 4-1 win

[stevefromdonny]

what we really need to do, is stop pissing about round the halfway line, need to move the ball fast down the wings get players into there box and fucking shoot instead of trying to pass the ball into the net
COME ON CITY

[Beefymcfc]

Not sure what the formation is but it does look like we're going to be playing slide-rule football, trying to pierce their lines with runners moving through their defence. This might be because Eddie Howe's likes to play football and will leave a little space at the back, rather than a parked bus.

Looking forward to this.

[Beefymcfc]

Not a bad build-up from Sky for a change.

Agreed, Beef. Probably one of the more entertaining games we'll play this season. I like Eddie Howe - his teams always try to score goals.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Seems Sergio had a knock on his foot the other night.

[blues2win]

Very hot apparently which is bad for Bournemouth who will be chasing the ball for the most part.

[blues2win]

Sergio not out for the warm up. I thought he was on the bench though

[johnny crossan]

Just said Aguero didn't come out for the warm up - got a niggle or got a bag on? Pardew likes winding us up, earlier he said Defoe will he happy he's matched up against Vinny - trouble is he's probably right.

[PeterParker]

Worried about the Yaya monster.

Looks like he is not getting any game time.
