That’s a big show of faith in MLS. Harsh on Nwaneri but great option off the bench.

Perfect lineup, Nwaneri to come on for whoever stinks it up between tross and gabi.
No KDB for them helps too.

That right side of City is so exploitable.
Time to shine Martinelli.

No worries Kovacic will break a few legs to even the odds for them…no reds given though of course.
Yeah, that’s a very light midfield, plus a very suspect back line with Nunes as a RB, no Dias at the back, also no Ederson.
No excuses. 3 points are a must.
I’d have liked to see Nwaneri to start
Been doing more than enough to deserve his starting spot
What have you got to lose
This City team is so vulnerable. We must win this.
I actually can’t remenber the last time I felt like this before a City match.
let him come on when they are tiring. Maybe that is Artetas thoughts as well.
Might be too late lol
Id be happy to see Nwaneri start too but my own read is he’s the best bet if we need something from the bench, so that’s where hes at.
There could be a few goals in this so I’ll go 2-2 with Martinelli and Trossard to score.
Gvardiol often struggles against quick, skilled dribblers, would love to see Ethan up against him.
Hopefully he gets half an hour.

Really disappointed with Arteta not starting Ethan today. You have players like Lamal playing and shining on a weekly basis and Arteta using a phased approach with a player who just got a goal in the CL.
I don’t see how Trossard and Martinelli will give us 10/10 on each wing.

It feels like a very subdued atmosphere. Could hear the away supporters in the concourse over the musician. More tourists in my area than usual. Tasted I ever got out of H&I in match day. Not real energy.
Gonna need the boys to come out with loads of energy and hopefully an early goal can lift the crowd.
Agree. I fully expect him to start in cup midweek then. If not, then why not start him today.
