What are we thinking - Kev as false 9 or Mahrez?

Worked against Chelsea with Kev . Let's see what happens

 

[Cornish_Blue]

Bernardo and Foden will bring some much needed energy and desire after Sunday’s comedy show. Hopefully KDB plays well, form it temporary, class is permanent. He needs to be further forward than Gundog.

 

[Airbags Optional]

If we are insistent on “walking” the ball into the goal, we could be in for a long evening.
Too many times, we get into a good position and Fanny around with it. Get a shot away, all these players are more than capable of that.
Kun doesn’t mess about, snap shots/first time etc.
If we improve on our finishing from Sunday, we WILL score.
However, I think we are going to be looking at a massive red and white bus!!

Give it a rest... do you ever have anything positive to say?

 

[Blue Til Death]

Happier with the false 9 start but I wouldn’t have started Kev, no complaints though, that's a great side full of energy and that’s exactly what we need tonight... A nice early goal to offset the 11 man defence and pick them off at will after that .. Come on you Mighty Blues...!!

Pep never fucking learns

 

[mancityscot]

i swear if kev misplaces one pass...

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Betting on Gundo to get back on the goals trail tonight, Foden and Bernie will make sure of that.

 

[BlueCityfan]

Torres keeps getting overlooked even with heavy rotation.

 

[WallyA]

Atleast Cancelo and Sterling are rested.

Shaktar boys in midfield today (in transition).

Kevin or Bernardo false 9 I think.

It’s a forum, I’m not being abusive or slagging off individuals. If you don’t like what i write, don’t read it.
Don’t be a duck and post comments like that.

 

[LongsightM13]

That team would have beaten united comfortably

It'll probably be some interchanging. But I expect it to be KDB, Bernardo, Gundogan, and Foden popping up in those positions more than I would Mahrez. KDB or Bernardo to start there. I'd guess Bernardo.

 

[nellyonthewing]

Looks like Pep has put a couple in detention. Kev had a good 2nd half let's hope he's been practising in his back yard.

 

[MeatHunterrr]

Well he certainly is Sane replacement then

 

[paulsimpson]

He will keep him for CL. Remember it's his first season in PL. Pep likes to give a player time to adapt.

 

[The Black Shed]

Naw Pep said 18-0

Well, there aren't many records left for us to break. An early (converted) pen and red card for their goalie, you never know!

 

[Utter bobbins]

Their tall centre back is going to be confused

 

[Chi-town blues]

Moaning about Kdb in starting line up .
Man city fans have come a long way .

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Oh dear, are there no consequences for shit performances?

 

[stonerblue]

If Foden or Walker or Bernardo or Fernandinho start tonight i will be fucking mad
