Jesus and Aguero in the same team

Good side. I’m a tad disappointed that Garcia didn’t even make the squad, though.

 

[blue is best]

Wow, can only see a drubbing for villa, great team pep.

I'm really enjoying the central front 3 we've been playing recently, it's really brought the best out of Mahrez. Mendy and Cancelo should provide great width.

agreed - it really has brought the best out of Mahrez.....will it work with Kun as one of the three. He is the best striker int he league and we have ever had but he is also the least mobile and interchangeable of all the options. Of course Kun can do it and has shown he can adapt to anything and he has looked good playing with Jesus before as well bu i think it was as slightly different system last time Pep did this.

Huge headache for the defernders though as you ahve got two out and out goal scorers on the pitch now instead of just the one - we know Jesus will put a shift in as well

I wonder if we're playing with two strikers or if Jesus is on the left. Excited to see either tbh.

I like it a lot. Jesus left wing/forward?

I suspect Jesus and Mahrez will be playing halfway between centrally and out wide if the last few weeks are anything to go by. A lot of fluid movement as well.

Universal support for the team selection usually precedes a disappointing result or performance. Where are the nay sayers to bring us luck?

 

[rnblade]

Like that team. Stones needs game time to get his head back. Fingers crossed this will help. Hope Foden will get minutes as well.
Gabby & Kun to press from the front.

Surprised to not see Garcia
