Citys best 11 with a full squad to select from

It shows why we are struggling you could argue we are now missing 5 key players from last years positions.
Laporte
Fernandinho
Bernardo
Sane and Now Aguero
You can make that six with the inclusion of David Silva, it's like playing with 10 men when we lose the ball. It's hard to watch.
 
Ederson
Walker Stones Laporte Mendy
KDB Fernandinho Bernardo
Sterling Jesus Sane

Muric, Cancelo, Rodri, Foden, Silva, Mahrez, Aguero
 
Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko
Fernandinho
Sterling
De Bruyne
Foden
Sane
Aquero

This is the team I’m hoping to see sometime this season
 
Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko - says a lot about our left backs
Ferdi - happy with Rodri
KDB
Bernado
Sterling
Aguero
Sane

Subs rodri, foden Silva garcia jesus, rest dont care
 
Today had banana skin all over it. We should've played our strongest side.
 
Ederson
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Bernardo
De Bruyne
Sane
Jesus
Sterling
 
The names on our team sheet are largely irrelevant. The fact is, that after 3 seasons, Pep and his style have been found out. We saw it with Wolves, Norwich, Liverpool and even yesterday at Newcastle. In short the nemesis of 11 dwarfs playing pass pass pass, is to put all eleven behind the ball and play on the break to win a set piece and capitalise your height and physicality at that moment. Even Newcastle's equaliser was born on Rodri being committed to being an aerial presence in our own box and being unable to get out to Shelvey.

Christ, what we could do for a Dzeko, Negredo or even a Gareth Taylor just for the opportunity to put a speculative cross in the box rather than this left to right to left passing garbage we are enduring.

You can add many things to this such as how is Mendy a professional footballer?, why we only have one striker?, why is our best defender a midfielder?, why is our midfield incapable of tackling? and why anybody thinks Silva is captain material?

I suppose the real worry is however when our manager sees all our defeats as examples of us playing 'really good'!
