Sevilla pre-match thread

[Sir peace frog]

Thank you! I am very grateful

its not the city plane, we met the plane taking city to spain today,had to offload all the empty cans(baggage containers),some of the lads had a tour of the inside of the aircraft,big seats big tv infront of every seat,a bar area,then down some stairs 12 ish bedrooms,all very nice,the aircraft is an airbus 340 all white will a small trim they used it last time v bmgb.

if I get my arse in gear I might be able to see the team board ,ill try and get the flight number for the aircraft spotters on here and the reg if I can be bothered or get time.

I think KDB has been outstanding since signing but was awful yday when out wide .... but when moved to central role he started to have a good effect on game but was then taken off.

I'd like to see him playing centrally on tues behind Bony.

Whilst I agree with you, how would you fit him in that spot?

Options are a 2 man midfield with Yaya (always works pretty well in Europe eh..) or dropping Yaya (ever going to happen?). Personally would have Yaya dropped for this match purely as a point is a good result from us & we'll be much better defensively if Yaya isn't in a midfield 2 & KdB is a better player in the CAM role so we would have a better chance going forward also. Just don't see it happening though as Yaya doesn't seem the type of guy to accept not playing a match of this calibre - Pellegrini seems to have decided it's acceptable to play it safer & allowed the Dinho Nando Yaya midfield to have a go so would be surprised if we didn't see that with KdB pushed out wide again (which I would prefer to see than a Yaya 2 man midfield to be honest).

My guess is same as above;

-----------------------------Hart-------------------------------
Sagna---------Kompany---------Otamendi-----------Kolarov

Navas----------------------Yaya-----------------------KDB

Good team, only change i'd make is Sterling for Bony but I doubt that will happen.

We played that formation at the rags and Yaya was totally in-effective.

Hart

Sagna........Kompany............Otamendi..........Kolerov

......Fernando......Yaya........Fernandinho

Navas............KDB................Sterling

A false number 9 is the tactics I'd employ in this tough European game.

This is the team we should play for sure. We know for a fact pellegrini won't play it!

I've been looking at the list of arrivals at the airport in Seville and I saw that morning 2 flights arriving from manchester: one at 13:25 and another at 14:15. Could one of them be the Manchester City ? I believe that one could be the team and the other that of the press and journalists, both with the same flight number: EXS6157. If someone have info about this, please tell me.
Sorry for my English and thanks!

I know on paper this team looks good. But in reality, it's a shitty team

Personally I think our best bet is going 433.

Sagan Komps Ottamendi Kolarov.
...............Yaya...................
......Fernandinho....Fernando
Navas.....Debruyne....Sterling

I know its counter-intuitive, but I think this might be our best staring 11 on the road.

It seems like the natural fit but MP just loves him some Bony. If they lined up like this Yaya would have much more effect on the match and I'd think they could score 2 or 3.
