Basel (H) - Pre match thread.

[waspish]

Pep will play a fairly strong side he takes no games for granted.

 

[Silva_Spell]

Bravo
Danilo Stones Laporte Delph
Gundogan
De Bruyne Foden
Brahim G.Jesus Sane

Ederson, Adarabioyo, Zinchenko, Toure, Silva, Bernardo/Sterling, Aguero/Sterling

KDB & Silva to have 45 mins each as I want to give Foden and Brahim a quality CM platform​

 

[Blue Llama]

Cant believe you are the first to suggest Bravo, no more domestic cup games and it would be wise to keep him sharp. This and a couple of league games when the title is assured perhaps?

What about keeping Ederson sharp? It's not as though he has been overworked in the last 4 weeks.

I think Pep will start a very strong side and maybe bring on some kids for half an hour at the end.

He won't start Foden and Brahim together and make 10 changes because he'll think its disrespectful and set the wrong tone for the match.

 

[Akai]

Ederson, Danilo, Stones, Laporte, Zinchenko, Delph, Yaya, D.Silva, Sterling, Foden, Jesus

 

[The Riot Club]

No injuries please. We've still got to play Spurs away, humiliate the rag shit and go to our other NW bogey side Everton yet, plus Mark Hughes's pub team cloggers.

So this is a chance to give most of our regulars a rest.

Bravo
Danilo
Zinchenko
Kompany
Stones
Gundogan
Bernardo
Yaya
Foden
Diaz
Jesus

Good shout that.

Basel have only played 2 games since we faced each other (lost both)

Weird

 

[Gray]

My team similar to most:-

Bravo
Danilo
Stones
Kompany
Delph
Stirling (if fit)
Yaya
Gundogan
Zinchenko (further forward)
Foden
Jesus

Ederson is the Champions League goalie, he has to start.
Sterling was in training pics on Friday so assume he’ll get some minutes.
Foden to start
