This would be my Starting X for Saturday… 07:13 - Aug 16 with 2791 views | MancBlue86 | Muric Johnson Tuanzebe Greaves Townsend Hutch Morsy Phillips Davis Szmodics Delap I think that is our current strongest available XI, I don’t see why both Szmodics and Phillips cant start, both match fit, both experienced enough in their positions and to take KM’s instructions. I think Phillips will start because he cant play against Citeh, in terms of Szmodics I imagine he won’t start and Hutch will play in the number 10 with Burns on the right but yea I would love to see the above line up.

This would be my Starting X for Saturday… on 07:20 - Aug 16 with 2454 views | ibbleobble | You want Townsend to mark Salah in his debut? You’ll drop Luongo fo Phillips who hasn’t even been confirmed yet? Szmodics to start who hasn’t even had a medical yet and is in danger of not being signed in time? And you’d play Davis in a role he’s never player whilst here or during pre-season? Think there’s a lot here that won’t happen personally. |  | |  |

FYI clever bollox , Townsend has already played against Salah for West Brom in the Prem but no, I want both Townsend and Davis on the pitch to Mark Salah, if that’s not the left hand side then Harness starts lol which can’t happen. Phillips will be in the door this morning and has played pretty much all of Citys pre season. You clearly didn’t read the last bit where I said that I imagine Szmodics won’t start and I haven’t claimed thats is what is going to happen lol just what I would like to see.

We might be in trouble with that. More from the Premier League than Liverpool. |  |

I doubt KM would have spent millions on greaves just to leave him out against Liverpool. |  | |  |
This would be my Starting X for Saturday… on 07:40 - Aug 16 with 2144 views | jayessess | Our one (quite long) shot at beating Liverpool is that they come in undercooked and we execute our plan perfectly. That means picking players who know the plan inside out. 99% certain it'll be the following: Muric Johnson, Woolfenden, Greaves, Davis Morsy Luongo Burns Chaplin Hutchinson Delap |  |

Instinctively I agree with you and it has been McKenna's way. However, wonder if you just have to start Phillips. He's played a lot of minutes in pre season and is just a huge upgrade on Luongo going into a game against one of the best teams in the league. I am sure McKenna regretted not starting Moore at Preston last season. |  | |  |

Think KM looks past the opening games tho and he hasn't been starting with Greaves in the friendlies which makes me think he's just growing him into the squad. |  |

Exactly why he has to start, plus he can’t play in game 2so keep Luongo fit for it cos we will be screwed against City if Luongo plays Saturday, pick up a knock and then we are without both |  |

Oooh. That's my swap. I just think our starting lineup against nice will be our lineup v Liverpool. [Post edited 16 Aug 2024 7:53]

He wasn’t a starter in the championship, he isn’t s good enough starter in the PL, blokes only still here because Broadhead is out and we haven’t signed a new LM yet |  |

I feel the same about the Nice starting XI. Tho think I put Greaves instead of Edmundson. |  |

This would be my Starting X for Saturday… on 08:02 - Aug 16 with 1734 views | pointofblue | Muric Tuanzebe - Woolfenden - Greaves Johnson - Morsy - Luongo - Davis Hutchinson - Chaplin Delap Big question for me is who plays in the middle of the three. Could be Woolfy, Edmundson or Burgess (for the latter, Greaves may move into the middle). Or does it make sense, as said above, to stick to the three who started against Nice? Possibly does. |  |

Keith Stroud is involved on Saturday so anything could happen - if counting is his responsibility, we might well get away with it. |  | |  |
