This was as exciting a debut for what we hoped we’d signed as it possibly could have been. Already we’ve seen the KDB-Erling combination produce, we’ve seen his pace and power and how difficult that will be to stop for any defence, we’ve seen ice cold temperament in one-on-ones, the ability to...

Decent first half, controlled the game took the sting out of the home side with a boisterous crowd behind them from the first minute. Our play has been slow at times and I appreciate WHam are sitting deep in numbers but at our best we’re shifting the ball quicker and moving them around...

I’m really looking forward to seeing how we incorporate Haaland into the side, will we build our attacks any different ? Will he be expected to drop in and link up play more than he’s used to? How hard will he work out of possession? It’s genuinely exciting to have such a high quality player...

It’s a difficult one this and I can’t help but think we’ll get slightly less than what he’s actually worth. I think £80m plus is a decent return for him, they’d be buying a player at the peak of his powers more than capable of playing at this level for another five years minimum. If he was 26...

I still think Grealish would be more effective playing more central in order to be less predictable having options either side and can commit the defenders a bit more. He has quality, no doubt, we just haven’t seen it anywhere near consistently enough. I do fancy him to have a much improved...

Starting XI for me - ——————Ederson———— Walker Stones Laporte Cancelo ——————Rodri—————— ————KDB————Bernardo Mahrez——Foden——Grealish Sterling makes a good case for inclusion but maybe an impact sub again today, Jesus aswell will rightly be in with a shout but I just think big game player Riyad...

I’ve just seen Jamie Jackson’s player ratings in the Guardian…..he has City with two star men scoring 8 out of 10, Kyle Walker, which is fair and Ederson??! Now Ederson didn’t put a foot wrong, but in a game where he’s barely seen the ball how is he getting the top mark ahead of a plethora of...

Completely agree, I think sometimes unless you watch him closely he goes under the radar, but he’s so much better than that. Takes the ball under pressure all the time and very rarely is wasteful in possession, and not just playing simple five yard passes to his central defenders. Great range of...

Can’t believe I overlooked the option of KDB being used in the false nine position so we can play Bernardo, Gundo and KDB. Perfect team picked from Pep if you ask me, now down to the players.

I’d be happy if Bernardo started, just got to be two from KDB, Gundo and Bernardo, I think it’s worth a discussion whichever way you go. Three outstanding options.

Yes I know what you mean, just wonder whether Gundo will give us more of a goal scoring threat from midfield that’s all. I’d have to have KDB in there for this game.

After much deliberation, this is my XI for tomorrow - Ederson Walker Cancelo Stones Dias Rodri KDB Bernardo (close call with Gundo, wouldn’t mind either Foden Sterling Jesus Wide men on their natural sides, Jesus on the right (can swap with Raz if things aren’t working) and Foden on the...

I posted a couple of weeks ago in this thread about not being convinced yet on Grealish and that thought still remains. What I have seen recently is that in my opinion he could be much more effective in a more central role. I think he’s a bit predictable for full backs, they know he wants to cut...

Pep could’ve made changes for this, to freshen things up, the fact Liverpool are different stylistically to Chelsea and so maybe he could’ve wanted different style players in there. Ultimately he’s kept it simple in team selection, this was the XI that won in fantastic fashion at Chelsea and is...

Given Sterling’s historical performances at Anfield in front of a packed house, it would be a very brave decision for Pep to pick him tomorrow, especially given Sterling’s current confidence levels and form. Could be a huge boost for Sterling if he’s picked in the XI and an absolute...

At this stage I’m really not sure the levels of performance we can expect consistently from Grealish and that’s because I personally can’t figure out how good he is yet. Maybe that says more about my footballing nous! He appears like he has all the tools to really dictate and influence a game...

Thought we were the better side tonight for long periods of the game, obviously doesn’t count for much when you lose 2-0, but the performance was good. PSG were clear content for us to have the ball in the wide areas while they kept a fairly narrow back 7! If we tried to play crosses in...

Pep always talks of momentum and winning all Champs Lge games, while I can see a few changes being made from the Chelsea XI, this is still going to be a strong side tonight. The beauty of having a squad with the depth of quality we have.

Think there will obviously be some changes from the Chelsea game, not sure whether any of the outfield players will start all three games this week? If anyone you’d probably look at Walker and Dias in terms of fitness and importance to the side.

Would be one hell of a challenge for him up against that front three. Not entirely convinced Pep would put him in that position unless he has absolute trust in him and I’d be surprised if he’s there yet.
