Not a fan of sterling as a lone striker... the lad is a winger..

What happened to gabby need to start games because of his pressing? you are all quiet now

Pep 's thinking this side will have a lot of possession, keep the score tied till 70 minutes, then bring on Foden and either Aguero or Jesus to win it with a burst of energy.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I thought Maguire, Martial and Shaw wouldn't make it :)

Sadly, Pep has gone for Bravo and a midfield which is short on pace when the ball breaks down.

With the inclusion of Mahrez, it seems Pep would rather always go for absolute ball retention than pace.

No such thing as absolute ball retention. Unsure how this one plays out.

This will end 1-1. Atleast if it does though we'll have an away goal in the bank.

He should be performing like he did v Leicester in every game he plays. After all it IS his job.

He was on the pitch for 13 fucking minutes! And it was already 4-1.

Welcome to BlueMoon.

We'll see when Mosssideblue's favourite goalkeeper throws one in

 

[Dax777]

Why on earth is Garcia not playing. Makes no sense. It’s more of a risk to play otamendi

That midfield is so slow

I would have liked to have seen Phil play aswell

Lol :)

 

[kaz7]

Where do you think Sterling will play? And will he or will he not “keep them busy”?

He won't press very wel and as the striker he misses a hatfull
