Full Backs?

[J_MCFC21]

I'd rather have Boateng then Manolas.

Manolas isn't your typical Pep player and is quite the troublemaker aswell.

Yh, would Boa come back to City though hm

Why not he loves Pep and knows what Pep is planning to do here and he would be a big part of the succes.

mendy and rose would be the best squad depth in the left back area in the world. imagine having the 2 best fullbacks in the league in the same team.

Would rather take Bertrand - he and Mendy would cover both LCB and LWB positions, both are fairly good passers and can deliver the ball from the back. Judging by pre-season games, Otamendi isn't a good option on the left if Pep insists on playing with 3ATB.

Boateng Kompany Stones/Ota would be some back 3

Think at least one leftie is needed, and better with fullback capabilities. I see next Abidal in Mendy if we're using 3 at the back. The downside is that BM's offensive output would be limited.

The dream would be Alaba...Plays LB, CB, DM, CM basically anywhere, no chance of that however

He has significantly regressed during last 2 seasons (injuries), in case you don't watch Bayern on a regular basis. He's far from the beast he was under Heynkes and 1st year under Pep.

Yh was saying in terms of like the perfect Pep kinda player, hope he finds the form he has this season.

 

[almir]

I hope bayern gets relegated tbh.

A left footed center back seems more important right now. If both Mendy and Danilo can't play for whatever reason we could play 3 at the back with Sane as the wingback like we did against West Ham.

Perhaps he was always overrated to start.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Anyone think keiran Gibbs is a good back up at £5m home grown too???

 

[Tevez City]

I thought we paid 30 million for Danilo because he can play as RB, LB & DM.

So? Still only have 3 FB's.

Fernandinho can cover it when needed.

That doesn't give me much confidence.

Still think we dropped a ball and would have made more sense to keep Maffeo and buy Bertrand to cover LB and play LCB in a three. One more HG would allow us to for for some one other than Evans.

I thought the club wanted Maffeo to gain more experience before depending on him.

The plan was get Dani Alves for free for a year or two then Maffeo should take over.

 

[mcfc moon]

Quite concerned that we don't have a cover for Mendy. His injury record isn't the best and if we don't have a replacement, it potentially means either putting Sané or Delph in his position or changing formation.

I'd love for us to get a replacement in, my choice would be Bertrand. Don't really know any other decent left backs to be honest. We deffo need one though imo, especially after seeing Sané at that position vs Everton.
