Basel (H) - Pre match thread.

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

If we score 1, they have to score 6. If we score 2, they have to score 7. Let Foden and Diaz start this one, it`s not even a risk

I can't see Basel going hell for leather and trying to chalk up five goals. I'd like to see Foden and Diaz start. We aren't gonna get a better chance to see how they manage from the beginning, and getting a good hour from kick off!

Danilo, Gündogan and Fernandinho are on 2 yellows, 1 away from missing the next match.

Can't see them playing a full strength team so no need to go strong team play the subs.

I can guarantee Dinho won't get booked in this one.

Anyone know how ticket sales are going for this..... hope it's nowt like The Tarquins turn out last Thursday

 

[OntarioBlue]

Yep

+1 I really like the look of this lineup. Lots of strength on the bench just in case things turn freaky (unlikely)

Perfect time to keep squad in shape and test the depth in specific positions. Bench key players for insurance. Rest Walker for a little head wobble, the general and kdb,

Jaws
Danilo stones Laporte zin
Delph
Sterling Foden bernado sane
Jesus

Bench: Bravo toure kompany gun silva serge Diaz

Keeper with confidence
Reserve back four
Can delph replace fern?
Can bernado replace ds kdb ?
Can Phil fit the bill?
Diaz and toure on if comfortable
Silva and serge if 3-0 down !

To really see if they work, you'd have to test all of those options individually. Can't make all those changes and then write off whoever has a bad game, cos that 11 have probably never played a single minute of competitive football together before.

Looks good on the City ticket site, much better than I thought it would be

Still think we need a decent side they are not a bad team.

Would throw Foden in though :)

Full Foden debut would be great.
