So obviously Fernandinho is our first choice in this role, but when we need to rotate the squad to give him rest who should slot in. Yaya would typically be the immediate response, but today for all he has done for the squad sadly looked past it. Sure he may have been missing some match sharpness, but he seemed to hardly be able to move out there. I am not writing him completely off, but if the trend continues who else do we have to play that role even?

Danilo - Would be my first choice, but our lack of depth at fullback makes playing him there tricky.

Delph - While I think he did okay as a wingback when he was moved to midfield seemed to fade out of the game, not sure how he will do, though I'm sure we will see. Also, believe he will continue to rotate in at fullback.

Gundogan - Hopefully he comes back soon from injury because he looked brilliant today, but not sure if I see him playing this roll.

Sterling - Weirdly I see him being able to play this position quite well or at least better then anyone else left that hasn't been discussed. Thought he provided excellent defensive cover for Delph a few times this evening.

Wondering who others think should slot into this position when needed?
 
I can't remember - after Walker came on, did Danilo or Delph move into midfield?
 
Well yesterday showed why YaYa is nowhere near getting a starting position.
I'd go for Danilo or Delph.
Delph at left back wasn't too good mind - another Pep experiment whise result can be classed as not too hot. Mangala is our 2nd choice left back I think for this season.
 
Sterling - Weirdly I see him being able to play this position quite well or at least better then anyone else left that hasn't been discussed. Thought he provided excellent defensive cover for Delph a few times this evening.

Insert "Not sure if serious picture" here......

Even by Pep's standards that would be very bold!!
