Mendy to start this one, IMO. Gundogan off the bench.





Sane only played part of the game last night at LWB, but don't let that spoil the narrative.

He played nearly 70 mins Billy and was at fault for the goal, in that period he hardly ventured forward. It was called out by nearly every observer after the game, Pep himself switched Kompany because Sane was struggling. Not the whole story but a strong reason why we didn't win the game.
 
Until we bring in a new central, defensive midfielder that can boss the midfield we will always be in trouble at the back.

We'll have most of the possession, it just depends on if we can actually convert our chances.

Jesus needs to do less partying and do more on the field.

More than likely to win but we have problems.
 
If stubborn Pep decides to continue with 352 than it has to be Sterling for Aguero.

Is Mendy ready to start? He didn't even make the bench yet. Don't think he'll start. If he doesn't we should go with Danilo and Dinho as fullbacks with Danilo on the left.

Sane shouldn't be anywhere near the starting line up after his terrible performance last night.

Aguero and Jesus just doesn't work. With 352 play Sterling and Jesus.

The better option would be to go back to 433. Play Jesus on LW a position he is familiar with, Aguero in the middle and Sterling on the left. Fullbacks to overlap. Bring on Sane for either Jesus or Aguero in the second half.

Mangala
Fernandinho
Gundogan

4-3-3, Gundogan walks into our best XI when fully fit though.
 
Ha, it was always going to be risky going into the season with just three recognised full backs I guess.
Wasn't really the plan, Kolarov going put a spanner in the works, hopefully a left centre back / full back will come in.
