[bumba]

[Cleveleys_claret]

Hilarious

Really should look at have a comedy night with the amount of jokers on here

[ClaretDiver]

Just seen it….WOW!

[4midable]

5 new players straight in
And rightly so

[4midable]

5 new players straight in

What a shape
What a side

[FCBurnley]

Vitinho !!!

[Commy]

He has just said that he has chosen the team with what he has seen in pre season. Well I think Muric was the better goalkeeper in pre season. Trafford must have trained well.

[Carwin261]

Would have preferred Muric,

[4midable]

[FCBurnley]

City will be all over Trafford when he has the ball at his feet

[Claret Alfie]

Good luck working out the formation. 3-4-3 maybe

[Vegas Claret]

nobody will guess our line up once this season

[Anthonini]

Nice

[FCBurnley]

What a bench !!

[Newcastleclaret93]

I knew Brownhill wasn’t going to start

[Volvoclaret]

Hell of a subs bench .....theirs ain't bad as well.

[KefkaClaret]

3 at the back?

[Vegas Claret]

gutted for Muric, surprised he's throwing Berge straight in too. I bet Pep is confused

[Anthonini]

City will be all over Trafford when he has the ball at his feet

But lots of options to play the ball to with 5 defenders 2 controlling midfielders and fast attacking players good on the counter.

I agree with Trafford he's going to be best after 10 games. Really can be a gamechanger with good saves.

[Commy]

He's going to tire them out with our pace then bring Zaroury and Benson on to finish them off . Koleosho is rather fast.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

I bet Pep is confused

Not just pep

[Bigvince]

I bet Pep is confused

As long as our players aren’t

[4midable]

Im not. Hes our new best midfield by a long shot

[Commy]

I noticed though with Trafford that he does a lot of long kicks and we kept losing the ball. Muric might give us heart attacks but he can't half pass the ball and finds good short passes.

[expoultryboy]

Attack attack , attack attack attack. Vk the new kevin keegan hahaha. Should be interesting !!

[Commy]

And their team is why I have given up picking City midfielders for my fantasy football. I pick Grealish and he goes Foden, I pick Foden and he goes Grealish.

[Belgianclaret]

Jayrod not even on the bench?

[Vegas Claret]

Im not. Hes our new best midfield by a long shot

he's not even kicked a ball for us but you've decided he's better than Cullen by a long shot - I hope you are right !

[SalisburyClaret]

Looks like a 9-1 formation to me

[Vegas Claret]

Jayrod not even on the bench?

that plus the new Fabrizio Romano link to a PSV striker, he's not going to get much game time but I'm surprised he hasn't made the bench

[Andreshotboots]

Jayrod not even on the bench?

Nor Twine..

[FCBurnley]

Twine not in squad as well as jay

[spt_claret]

He has just said that he has chosen the team with what he has seen in pre season. Well I think Muric was the better goalkeeper in pre season. Trafford must have trained well.

Been saying it from the start Trafford was always going to be #1 for 38/38 no matter what, we simply aren't a club who spends that on a backup keeper no matter what noise about "picking on form". We can't pick on form when the model is to develop and sell at profit, expensive signings have to play to appreciate in value. Same reason O'Shea will always be in over Ekdal.

Strange team. Much as I like vitinho can't get picking him over Zaroury. And I'd have had Ekdal and Muric in too but hey ho. In Vince we trust, hopefully it's unexpected enough to catch City offguard

[Belgianclaret]

Guess Vithino over Zaroury based on same strategy as with Benson on the other side. Both fresh attacking options after 60 mins, with Vitinho more defensive option

[Bigvince]

Twine not in squad as well as jay

He’s doing a pre match warm up tho

[4midable]

he's not even kicked a ball for us but you've decided he's better than Cullen by a long shot - I hope you are right !

Your acting like nobodys seen him play
Hes an absolute monster. Wont be many knocking him off the ball

[Ampth7]

Guess Vithino over Zaroury based on same strategy as with Benson on the other side. Both fresh attacking options after 60 mins, with Vitinho more defensive option

I don’t think Vitinho will play wide left tbh. I wonder if Amdouni and Koleosho will be our wide options?

[claretandy]

Twine not in squad as well as jay

He's here...
