I think we need to get back to basics with our line-up/shape. ----------------------Ederson---------------------- Walker-----Kompany-----Otamendi-----Delph -----------------Fernandinho--------------------- ------------De Bruyne-----D.Silva----------------...

While it's a risk, i would still start Fernandinho today. We play far better with him in the team and for me it's more important to come back from this long break with a positive performance and result ahead of Anfield. He walked a similar suspension tightrope for several games around Christmas...

Let's just hope Gundogan and Danilo don't pick up bookings.

I personally would start with David Silva. If we're starting with Foden, which we definitely should, and Toure which i think we kind of have to, i think we'd need his experience and willingness to receive the ball in tight situations alongside him - at least for the first half. I'd be looking to...

Danilo, Gundogan and Fernandinho would all be suspended for the first leg of the quarter final if they pick up a booking against Basel. Gundogan is due a rest anyway and i'd rather Fernandinho wasn't rushed back for a game where we don't need him. Loads of people want to start with Danilo...

I live a couple of miles from the Emirates Stadium and while it's snowed off and on frequently over the past couple of days, there's very little to show for it on the roads and pavements. Just a light dusting in peoples gardens. It's cold, but there's no ice underfoot and all the streets have...

I'm not worried. Our recruitment has been excellent since Guardiola arrived. I think the club now have a very good sense of what the squad needs in each window. We've bought in many young players who should continue to grow and improve under Pep and we've been especially good at identifying...

Stick him on the bench against Arsenal and see if he can pick up a yellow by abusing the fourth official. Take the suspension while he's injured.

While Delph is suspended, i think KDB would do the best job there. However, i'd play Gundogan and Silva in front of him and encourage them to rotate a little within the game depending on the situation. If we're in a bit of a battle, i'd want KDB consistently sitting deeper as he's shown he has...

Walker's knock didn't look too bad so i expect he'll play again. I'd carry on managing Kompany's games and save him for Chelsea. Fernandinho's injury looked more likely to keep him out of Thursday's game. Even if he recovered in time, he'll pick up a 2 game suspension if he's booked in the next...

Remove Muric and Mangala. Add Laporte and Zinchenko. Grimshaw is fine as third choice goalkeeper. No need to use a foreign spot on Muric. Assuming the Laporte deal goes through which looks very likely, i'd say we need Zinchenko to cover at left-back more than an additional centre-back. Stones...

I'm totally happy if we've offered as much as we think Sanchez is worth and he chooses to go elsewhere, even if it's Utd. £35m is not "still great value" if we end up paying him £400,000pw. The actual value of the transfer is far higher if we suddenly have De Bruyne, Sterling, Sane, Jesus, etc...

I'll take that. Looking forward to seeing more of Zinchenko and it'll be interesting to see how we get on without Aguero. I'd guess it's Sterling playing through the middle but i could imagine Sterling, Sane and Bernardo could rotate quite frequently and offer differing threats in that role.

Conspicuously quiet tonight. Have we managed to shut him down or is his source out of the loop this time?

Personally, i totally agree with what you are suggesting. They are all very logical decisions from what i can see. For whatever reason though, Pep has shown very little inclination to use Gundogan in that deeper role, has tended to use Bernardo in the wider positions and hasn't shown as much...

Warnock said he'd play the kids in the replay against Mansfield if they got a bad draw. They aren't going to be keen on playing us in the next round with promotion to the Premier League on the line. I'm sure Mansfield would be well up for the replay and the chance to play against us. I think...
