Please no mass hysterics by folk on here if we get beat off them again. Remember it's a derby and a cup match. Some idiots calling for pep out last time. I personally think over 2 legs we will beat them.

 

[SWPISHOME]

Ederson

Rodri
Fernandinho
Garcia

Walker
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Mendy

Mahrez
Sterling
Jesus

I'd play this team. It teems with creativity: from Ederson through Rodri, Mendy, Gundy, Bernardo, Kevin to Mahrez and Sterling.

 

[Mike N]

I would absolutely love it if Sterling turned up at O.T!

 

[lionheart]

Almost everybody seems to be picking Mendy despite being heavily criticised on here in recent weeks. Can he really handle Manure's breakaway pace? Walker must play for that reason.

Other than Eddie, I feel that will be a close call to the actual team

If they don’t let him on the team coach I’m sure he can afford an Uber or get the tram if he’s struggling for transport.

 

[Big gay Al]

Would play three at the back Walker , Dinho , Garcia , Kyle has to be in the back three to counteract their pace on the break , and please no Bravo , would go with

Ederson

Walker
Dinho
Garcia

Bernardo
KDB
Foden
Zinchenko

Mahrez
Jesus
Sterling


Need to give the Rags a little reminder of the gulf in class , and make the return leg a formality , they wont need their 3,000 allocation then.

Zinch and Angelino are not the best bets against quick forwards. Mendy is more physical than them and quicker. He made a bad mistake against Wolves but he is on the right track regarding fitness and form. I wonder whether Pep did the right thing with playing Angelino against both Liverpool and Man U of all teams. Zinchenko has more experience than Angelino in such games but James is so much quicker than him it's not funny.
