Feyenoord (h) pre-match thread

[Len Rum]

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.

No YaYa please from the off.

No let up go for the throat, keep that winning mentality and just think what the clubs we could face in the next round, will be thinking if we win all 6 group games!.

We can't lose momentum and take the foot off the gas.

 

[citytill1die84]

Ederson

Walker Otamendi Mangala Danilo

Gundogan Yaya

Sterling B.Silva Sane

Aguero

 

[Easy]

No YaYa please from the off.

Not excited about it either but he will almost surely start. Pep said Yaya will play so I doubt he is talking about a substitute appearance. Hopefully he can regain last seasons form as we need a back up for Fernandinho.

 

[bluwes]

Foden will play for the EDS in the afternoon, wont feature

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Ya Ya should not be starting games.

He will be fine against them. They are shit

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Foden will play for the EDS in the afternoon, wont feature

wheres that from ? would be a huge disappoint if he wasn't at least on the bench. we are through and its against a poor feyenoord side. this is the ideal game for him. will he only play fa cup games...

The EDS need to qualify for their own tournament, why would they weaken their own chances.

 

[Delphinho]

Our U19 team in the Youth League has 12 points, while the second place has 5, so I guess Foden will be on the bench or possibly in the starting lineup

 

[cleavers]

For those interested, Shaktar lost at home last night to a team in the bottom half, so it would look difficult for them to get a win in Naples.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

The EDS need to qualify for their own tournament, why would they weaken their own chances.

the whole point of the eds and youth teams is to get players in the first team, I'm sure they wouldnt mind if foden got a first team game or was on the bench, which is miles more important and beneficial to foden then playing for the eds.

going off the post above the eds have qualified anyway ( might be wrong...)

Wolves?

 

[Deleted member 81382]

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

In that case...

Bravo
Walker Otamendi Mangala Danilo
Yaya Touré Gundogan
Sterling Bernardo Sané
Aguero

Trouble is, he sets the tempo. Which is, let's not bust too much of a gut.

 

[Easy]

In that case...

Bravo
Walker Otamendi Mangala Danilo
Yaya Touré Gundogan
Sterling Bernardo Sané
Aguero

This is my team with one change: Danilo RB and Zinchenko LB. I am worried about Walker playing the next 4 matches in a row so I would rest him here and play him in the next 3 league games which are the priority IMO

 

[capiloton]

save sterling, sane, kdb, silva, delph, dinho & walker for weekend.
4-4-2 diamond, hope foden will start.

Unless Danilo comes in at RB in one of those 3 league games to give Walker a rest

 

[Easy]

True but I’m not too confident in Delph playing the 3 matches either.

Would rather see
Zinchenko-Danilo on Tuesday,
then Delph-Walker against Huddersfield Danilo-Walker against Soton and
finally Delph-Walker against West Ham

Feyenoord are struggling domestically and who`s to say that they won`t rotate. They can`t qualify, and I doubt very much that they will get third place. They need to concentrate on domestic league points to get back into the european qualifying positions.

Our team picks itself for 8 positions, today`s bench plus Otamendi. Personally I`d play Walker and get the game won. The other conundrums are KDB or Foden, and Sane or Stirling?

Bravo
Walker Nico Mangler Danilo
Foden Yaya KDB (or Foden)
Sane (or Sterling) Aguero Bernado

Feyenoord has not been having a good time of it this season...
