A little concerned with Kolarov back at LB. For some reason he seems better suited for CB in Pep's system...Hope he can surprised us!

no arguments. YOu would expect Kolarov and Zabba to be better suited to the inverted position as they are better wiht the ball then their counteparts but lesser so defensively.
The intersting part comes when he changes his formation for the first time in the leage as i can see that deployment being abused by a couple of teams who break fast e.g leicester and Livepool
 
If Pellegrini had picked this team we'd all be going apeshit. Pep is either a genius or a mentalist. Praying it's the former

looks that way, not surprised though. Fernando is not very mobile + is technically limited. Delph is mobile but lacks in technical department and Yaya is just past his best.

Yup. Have a feeling that there are a few players Pep is still keen to replace. But he just can't do it all in one window.. Fernando and possibly Delph among them. Along with some of the players with 1 year left.
 
I'm part way through reading pep confidential so trying to link his ideas in that to what he is doing here.
I'm guessing he has worked hard with Kolarov- more than with any other player.
Silva I think is going to be our thiago- pep likes the best ball player to play in the middle and be able to slow the game down with accurate passing

Leicester's boot up the park for Vardy won't work as much with a sweeper keeper and with this set up, you'll find opposing teams out of position more often and their counters won't be as efficient
 
Bloody hell!

THREE ex-City players, even if one of them is McPointalot. What the fuck is going on?

And the pundits have spent all summer slagging off Joe; now they're defending him.
