....and should we be so fortunate, the penalty taker will be...???

I smell a Mahrez masterclass

Wonder will Kun ever get a game again?

Why would you start him when we've won 17 straight and Sergio has hardly played for 9 months ? He needs to be eased back in very carefully indeed.

Someone like Franny Lee, Yaya or Mario.

Eddy it is then, OK?

Can someone more intelligent than myself (nothing to brag about) tell me how are we lining up with those 10?

One in net
2 in front of him
The rest running about all over the place.
You're welcome.

Good call !

I'd love to watch a game between our supposed first choice eleven and our second string?

Couldn't call it.

As a fun exercise it might be interesting to see if there's a way we could arrange our squad so that we had 2 distinct top teams.

I've got:


Creative XI:
Ederson
Cancelo
Dias
Ake
Mendy
Fernandinho
KDB
Foden
Mahrez
Torres
Aguero

Possession XI:
Steffen
Walker
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Gundogan
Doyle
Bernardo
Sterling
Jesus


Two potential title winning sides in my book.

As the main instigators of the Hateful Nine we need to fucking hammer the c****

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Surprised both Cancelo and zin is in will be interesting to see how we set up.

I think I’m missing something. Why is that surprising? It’s pretty much how we always set up. Zinchenko left of a back 3 in possession. Cancelo moving into midfield with Dinho. KDB false 9.

Nope. He'll be shit. However, I'm sure everyone on the Matchday Thread will cut him a bit of slack given his great showing at Everton. If nothing else, the Matchday Thread is populated by knowledgeable Blues who don't fly off the handle if any player is just below par.......
