Don’t want to see Jesus or Sterling anywhere near the starting line up. Kev can warm the bench as well until he gets his shit together. Foden, Torres and Sergio have been more than patient and must have been wondering what more they can do to get a run after watching dumb and dumber stumbling and bumbling around out there today

Those players got us here. I'd rely on 21 games out of 22. I prefer Foden and Bernardo tl KDB and Gundog. Have through all this season.

I could see Aguero playing but he's missed a lot of football

Who are the wide forwards? Bernardo and KDB?

 

[SidJames]

Hopefully Phil will be back regular.

This after pretty much being benched for ripping the scousers a new arsehole.

More likely Pep will make a point of starting the exact same 11 Wednesday, he started today, try and prove he should have been right in the derby.

We will see

As soon as KDB came back Foden dropped out. Foden has more goals in him and is much more dynamic. There will be games we can use KDB but he doesn't start for me in these big games. I thought that already but this game underlined that for me.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, Gundogan, Bernardo, Foden, Torres, Aguero.

 

[Eccles Blue]

I don’t care what team he puts out as long as we win and fight to the end. :-)

so not the one that played today then?

 

[wolviedinho]

Pep stop fucking about and pick the best team. I hope the Barca elections are not having a negative effect. Laporta in now could see trouble ahead.

Stop dropping Foden and Bernie and leave sterling and Kev on the bench.

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Redemption hopefully....

After the derby blip let’s win the next few city to put it beyond doubt.

 

[mikemcfc]

Ederson
Walker, Stones, Laporte Zinchenko
Fernandinho
Cancelo, Gundogan
Bernardo, Aguero, Foden
(Jesus)​

 

[Richard]

Can we please just try an energetic midfield three of Fenandinho, Foden and Bernardo...

 

[TheThirdDeano]

Come on city, get back on track with a win

 

[bluemoon32]

Find a place for Bernie and Foden please

 

[Ribchester]

Find a place for Bernie and Foden please

That’s an easy one...fuck Sterling off period...... and KDB on the bench

 

[daflanger]

Let's get our frustration out on Southhampton and smash them

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Cancelo
Ferna
Gundo
Bernardo
Foden
Mahrez
Aguero or Jesus

I believe this lineup can win the game

 

[Semper aggressus]

9-0 City.

-----------------Ederson-------------
Cancelo--Stones--Dias--Zinchenko
-------------Fernandinho------------
----Bernardo--------Gundogan-----
Sterling------De Bruyne------Foden

Would be tempted to drop Cancelo after his shambolic performance yesterday, but could probably do with his creativity. Would give Rodri a rest.

Foden has to play for me. Would have no issue with De Bruyne being left out, but it's unlikely, so I think false 9 is the only way we can use him at the moment. And if he's going to play there, we need others to make runs in behind - hence Sterling on the right (despite his toss performance yesterday). Or Torres, I suppose.

 

[Claytop]

Wish this was tonight and not another two days of feeling crap after yesterdays loss.
