City v Sunderland pre-match thread (13/8/2016)

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Clichy at centre half, Delph at left back and only Fernandinho to offer any cover what so ever.


Stay off the glue Trev.

That wasn't how he lined them up. It was 32221.

Still a bit weird, but could be sensational if it worked

This is whatI had in mind. But with Ota instead of Stones

Does anyone know much about Otamendi's injury? I did see him training in the John Stones first training video so that's a good sign, wonder if he will be fit enough for Saturday..

Hart
Sagna. Stones. Otamendi Clichy
Fernandinhio (capt)
De Bruyne. Delph. Sterling
Silva
Aguero

1st game at home will play it safe imo 4-1-3-1-1 which goes to 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 without ball, got a feeling until Vinny, Gundagun & Sane fit & possibly new keeper then sweeper keeper will be used now & again during the the 1sthalf dozen games.

That could basically end of being a 5 2 2 1

I've not seen him in any of the training galleries on the OS so presumed he wouldn't be available. Not seen the Stones training video though. Guess we'll find out either way at Guardiola's press conference today.

If he's not fit enough for Saturday i would like to see Bac in with Stones at CB, then Zaba at right back.
