Luton (A) Friday 1st September 8pm Sky

Bazshuayi

Stating the obvious but I hope we go there, be ruthless, quieten the crowd and start the season with 10 points kicking Luton with at least 2 goals (before going into the City and Liverpool games)

buffybegood

Areola, Coufal, Zouma ©, Aguerd, Emerson, Álvarez, Ward-Prowse, Bowen, Paquetá, Benrahma, Antonio
Subs: Fabiański (GK), Cresswell, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Fornals, Cornet, Kudus, Ings, Mubama

Based on tonight’s lineup and bench, I guess Ben Johnson is the mostly likely to leave.

Or Coventry? Can't believe he's still here, can we still make loans to Championship sides after the window slams shut? I think he's OOC in the summer, but he could be loaned till January and sold then.

I don't think Mubama counts in the 25.

Best guess?

Toss up who starts in goal. Kaminski who spent the last three seasons at Blackburn Rovers and has conceded 7 goals or recent signing Ktul who kept a clean sheet against Gillingham. To be honest I don't think it matters

Bell and Lockyer will start with the third CB either Reece Burke or new arrival from Barnsley Mads Andersen

Kabore Nakamba Chong Barkley Giles
Adebayo Morris

Kaminski in goal

Captain Tom Lockyer missing so Reece Burke and Mads Andersen both start

Doughty preferred at RB over Kabore

Already preparing the Man City thread...

Commentator saying Reece Burke, the 17 year old, is 27, and suddenly I feel very old

MrsGrey

He looks all grown up. I was trying to remember when he scored that goal when he came on as a late sub that win us the game. And I was wondering if any of our current squad were in that game.

So I googled.

2014. A pre season game ( hadn't remembered that) against Sampdoria. Allardyce manager. Only player then and now - Cresswell.

Nearly a proper grown up.

You'd better start working on your dad jokes.

MIAHammer

30 minutes gone and no shots on target for either team as yet.

Pretty sure he scored in a Carabao cup game?

We’re never going to score with all this possession. Give them the ball.

MrsGrey

Benrahma. Sigh.

MrsGrey

Sorry.

PrestonHammer

MrsGrey

Smouldering.

You are right ( didn't remember that either 😂) but the one I was thinking was definitely the earlier one. When he was a kid.

MrsGrey

Broader than Broadway.

Yeoldhammer

Looking forward to see Kudus come on.

MrsGrey

West ham fans singing ' you're only here for the season ' 😂. Harsh.
