The time has come

Josep “Pep” Guardiola Sala

As always, I have been leaving this post until the last minute, to get as many comments as possible. Not a lot has been said by tomorrow’s visitors so far. Also there are already some really good preview threads on here now, so basically everything has been said.

I can’t wait for the first serious Pep Out thread ( you know it’s going to happen ). Let’s try and be patient, I think we are in for a fantastic few months, but it’s not going to happen overnight.

So let’s get this show on the road…I am sooooooo excited.

For the first time in the 2016/17 season

COME ON CITY !!!!!

Referee: Andre Marriner

Fourth Official : Lee Mason

Team Selection

Mannone
Larsson – Kone – Kaboul – PVA
Djilobodji
Lens – Cattermole – Rodwell – Khazri
Borini

And the rest…

Woeful. We’ve known for ages our first game is against Man City and we still can’t manage to put out a decent team for the start of the season

Fuck me do we need some central midfielders.

3-0 city.

I can see a game very much like our last pre season gamewith the opposition having lots of possession, our defense standing firm and looking to snatch a winning at set play or a quick break away….Whatever the outcome one thing is for sure here in Coxhoe, “Its great to be back”

I’ve just thought, doesn’t Moyes have a great record away at Man City?…I’m sure he always done well there with Everton. I mean, I know we aren’t Everton, and now Man City have Guardiola, but still

 

Pep-Guardiola

Hmmm Chitty area very good side with avery good manager, atm imho we are on a licking to nothing…nobody will expect us to even draw on Saturday…if the Chitty players think they have won even before they go on the pitch…we may have chance but I suspect Pep G will be wise to that possibility

City are on paper a very good team and Pepe a top manager.

But it’s early days and if history has taught us anything it’s that the opening games of any season are so unpredictable…City, Man U, Chelsea, Everton and us with new managers and poor Hull with no manager…Anything can happen and I expect Moyes to start with a strong defense, good set pieces and quick breaks…We may well be everyone’s favourite for a pasting but I am confident as always of a good showing from the red and whites

Stop saying ‘citeh’!!!!!!!

Team update…

Pickford

Rodwell – Kone – Kaboul – PVA

McNair – Djilobodji

Januzai – Khazri – Borini

Defoe

If Januzaj starts ahead of Lens tomorrow I’d be surprised. I’m not defending Lens either, I think he is shit, but Januzaj will only meet the rest of the team when they get to Manchester later today, so may be a bit too soon to start him.

Janujaz will start. He’s had a full preseason

i’ve a feeling the blues’ll pump us mate

Against city I think we’ll need Borini’s and Khazri’s work rate out wide to protect the full backs…I hope Kone is right to play, if not O’Shea into the defence.

3-0 defeat. Kone watches from dugout. Moyes stands scratching his head on the touch line.

4-0 City

I’ll take anything other than a hammering

Man City never win the PL when they beat SAFC. Hopefully some wise guy will have told their new boss and the result will reflect their championship aspirations

7-2 City.

5-0 opening day disaster.

if u haven’t got Aguero in your dream team as El Capitano, with Vardy along side this weekend you want fucking.
