Zohore injured? Not on the bench or not match fit

Zohore injured?

I’m positive as you well know but we ain’t winning today.

2 nil or 3-1.

Hope I’m wrong.

Same as Betis but swapping Murphy (who was up there as our best player) for NML.

Defensive line up. Stand by my 0 - 0.

I'm fearful at how quick Bournemouth move the ball and how slow our midfield is hope I'm wrong but anyways...... C'MON CITY!!!!

Hope we do line up like that and not 3 at the back as I inially thought.

Looks like Warnock is sticking with the boys who took us up.

Thought Murphy would be in. Been outstandingly good in pre season probably our best player in them

I'm baffled :roll:

Really surprised Murphy ain’t starting

Surprised Murphy doesn't start but in NW we trust :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Hope it’s 4-2-3-1 with Bamba in midfield as Peeltier can’t play as a wingback in a back 5.

In Neil we trust but... Murphy was head and shoulders our best attacking player against Real and on fire in the friendlies. Must be rewarding last year’s players? Presumably Zohore injured to be behind Ward and Madine.

Didn’t expect that team. Murphy MOM last week & scores a stunner is left on the bench, Sol midfield & no Zohore! A strange selection to say the least. Just hope it works! :ayatollah:

I think it'll be set up more as a back 5 without wingbacks. Bamba stepping forward when needed. Direct diagonal balls behind the defence relying on the 3 guys' pace and they will also keep interchanging to keep defence guessing. This was effective Vs Betis and countered well.

Only issue is Paterson will look lost and nobody will know where he's playing! Although, that could be an advantage.

Good luck lads.

Strange team but it's all part of Neil's plan and I trust him :bluescarf:

Bit worried about Reid up top on his own. If we're under pressure and need an outlet not sure he can hold the ball up.

Ok everyone. Now look, that's the team so stop whinging - it's not even started yet :laughing6: It's a very good starting line up for the mighty Bluebirds and bench. BRING IT ON :bluescarf: :bluescarf: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :bluebird: :bluebird: :thumbup:

Thinking this will get the best out of lang knowing murphy's waiting in the wings, bring murphy on later when bournmouth start flagging and with murphy's speed could make a difference

Sense at last! Most people panicking already.
No Zohore!!? :o he’s obviously injured.
The only question at this time is - will it be 3 at the back or Bamba in a defensive midfield position. Well soon find out.
