City A vs City B The first time there was a charity shield when someone had won the double (Tottenham) they played against an FA XI, an all star team with the England manager. We'd call that very American if it happened now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Alvarez starts with Haaland, could be a 3-2-3-2 or 4-3-3. no Gvardiol but the other new boy starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 Jesus being injured for Arsenal is a blow. I partly get what Roy Keane made a hash of trying to say on ITV. Talk of what Arsenal may have learned from last season is neither here nor there. Not sure I would say Arsenal look better. But City for me certainly seem at least on the cusp of a period where they could be caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we get a lot of injury's we could be in trouble but the windows not shut yet. our first 11 is stronger with Gvardiol at LB, Walker & Bernardo are staying, Mahrez was backup and Gundogan was in and out on rotation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
