Feyenoord (h) pre-match thread

[Ric]

Expect we'll rotate a fair bit now that we've already qualified. Could do with a win here and preferably a draw in the Napoli-Shakhtar game so that we can play a second string in the Ukraine before the derby!

Ederson
Walker
Otamendi
Mangala
Danilo
Toure
Gundogan
B Silva
Sterling
Sane
Aguero

Definitely a chance to rotate, which Pep has already said he's going to do, and hopefully, rest and test a few players while wrapping up the group.

Would be nice to see Foden on the bench, and hopefully get some game time.

Was about to ask re: Foden on bench.

Was it true re: FA enforcing a four week break for the young lads/if so, is it over

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I'd start Foden. This is injury season, so rest David and Kevin. Play Foden, Gundogan and Bernardo. Danilo, Otamendi and Mangala to start. Aguero too.

 

[MarsLlama]

I expect only mild rotation on the basis that we still want to win and top the group, let's hope Napoli beat Shaktar.

Ederson
Walker
Mangala
Otamendi
Danilo
Fernandinho
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Bernardo
Sane
Aguero

Or something like that.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

id start foden. its games like these where he should play. we are already through. foden and a strong team behind him is more then good enough to beay feyenoord who arent very good imo

 

[RandomJ]

Think Pep will go full strength. Being able to rest players for the Ukraine trip before the derby would be very handy.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Bravo, Danilo, Kompany, Mangala, Delph, Gundogan, Yaya, Foden, Bernardo, Sane, Aguero.

If no-one got hurt Ota and Walker would come on at HT for Vinnie and Delph so nobody is playing too many minutes.

I don't know if Diaz is fit but he'd be my 3rd change if everything went to plan.

We can rest some key players at home to Feyenoord and still win comfortably. So we should. The schedule is crazy, we will suffer long-term if we don't rotate at least a little bit.

got 3 league games the following week, would be really handy to take 9 points and really put the pressure on the rags coming into the derby.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Feyernoord were garbage in the first game so can't see us struggling in this one whoever he plays.

Mangala needs game time and need to wrap Kompany and Delph up so Otamendi in for Kompany and Danilo for Delph.

Silva for de Bruyne, Toure for Fernandinho and Gundogan for de Bruyne.

Sane rested , Sterling Aguero and Jesus up top

 

[geoff clipp]

Rest anyone essential. It should still be enough to beat them and I think getting maximum points from the next three league games is more important. There's a real opportunity to build a really serious lead in the league in the run up to xmas and I think we should prioritise that. Looking further ahead, a strong lead in the league come Feb/mar will give us space to get stuck into the champions league fixtures when the knockout stages arrive.

 

[cadds92]

I will be surprised if Vinny and Delph play.

I don't think Pep will make radical changes though. We did that against Wolves in the League Cup and couldn't score against them in 120 mins and could have quite easily got knocked out. Even they had a weakened team out as well if I recall.

It's all about keeping momentum now.

Bravo
Walker
Otamendi
MANGALA
Danilo
Yaya
Gundo
Foden
B. Silva
Sane
Kun

 

[Easy]

After this match we have 3 games in the league in 7 days. Our 3 games are very winnable and will be crucial in the title run especially as Chelsea and Liverpool play each other and rags play Arsenal amongst other matches.

We should rest as much as we can against Feyenoord. We need a win so we won’t just play the kids. I’d go with.

Bravo

Danilo
Otamendi
Mangala
Zinchenko

Yaya
Gundogan
Bernardo

Sane
Aguero
Sterling

Bring on Foden and Diaz.

Would be reckless to risk Kompany and Delph in this match. Feyenoord are struggling right now in Holland, we should win with this team.

 

[Easy]

Post match Leicester.

Pep says he will rotate. Yaya, Gundogan, Bernardo will all play. The players who didn’t play today will play against Feyenoord.

Great news.

Ya Ya should not be starting games.
