Bristol City (h) pre-match thread

[Deleted member 81382]

Now that we are within touching distance of Pep's first trophy at City, I would play the strongest team with the exception of Bravo as he has won us two penalty shootouts. Try and get the tie won in the first leg and then we can rest the big guns in the second leg.

Bravo
Walker Stones Otamendi Delph
Fernandinho
Sterling KDB Silva Sané
Aguero

Play the usual cup team for this and rest key players. We have 2 shots at this, liverpool is a one off and takes priority.
Bravo
Danilson
Zinchenko
Vinny
Tosin
Yaya
Bernardo
Delph
Sane
Diaz
Aguero

The player for Bristol who scored late on vs the rags went off with a knee injury today against Watford and is a doubt for Tuesday.

 

[Andouble]

not sure if they played their first choice (guessing not with a semi-final in a few days) but they got hammered by Watford today

 

[Healdplace]

sorry the game,sure it wasn't before

Sky always show all four semi final games.

 

[Silva_Spell]

Bravo
Danilo Kompany Mangala Zinchenko
Toure
Gundogan Bernardo
Brahim Aguero Sterling

Ederson, Walker, Adarabioyo, Frnandinho, Dele-Bashiru, De Bruyne, Sane
(Tosin for Kompany if latter not fit yet)
​

Hopefully start better than we did today and get the obvious subbed off asap.

 

[BlueS]

I like City they are a good team.

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

would be surprised if both silva and de bruyne were rested. Strong team, get the tie pretty much won and then play some kids in the second leg.

 

[Ric]

Presumably we’ll see a lot of rotation with the Liverpool game next weekend. Expect Bravo, Adarabioyo, Mangala, Toure, Bernardo Silva and Diaz all to start. Wonder if it’ll be something like this?

Bravo
Danilo
Adarabioyo
Mangala
Zinchenko
Toure
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Diaz
Sterling

I hope Pep takes this more serious than you

Think Stones will partner Mangala he needs the mins.

 

[Jacob Smith]

Expecting a strong team for this, Pep will be keen to build a decent lead first leg

 

[Newtoncc]

To be fair if they could play like today after Watford game 3 days ago, would go with same as we have 4 + days to recover for Dippers.
Could keep Walker/Delph /KDB fresh maybe leave David and replace with B Silva

Exactly, we dont want to be having to go to Bristol having to get a result

 

[richards30]

Bravo
Danilo
Stones
Otamendi
Zinchenko
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Bernardo

I would prefer is to try and blow them away in the first leg and keep our momnentum going into the dippers match

Don't think KDB will feature.
B Silva to play midfield instead of KDB and Nmecha to play upfront.
Or alternatively just replace KDB with Delphinio.

 

[typicalcity...]

Gonna be a strong team I imagine. KDB will start I think

Bravo
Walker Stones Mangala Delph
Fernandinho
Silva De Bruyne
Sane Sterling
Aguero

 

[MarsLlama]

I'd kill to see Zinchenko in midfield.

Bravo
Walker Stones Otamendi Delph
Fernandinho
De Bruyne Gundogan
Sterling Aguero Sané

Is what I expect
