Benjamin Mendy (Back In Training)

And let him present the trophy

We should let him pick it up from a Stamford Bridge

When he returns and we all hope it is soon, he could be instrumental for us in our campaign. What a wonderful character he has been for us in our adventure so far, imagine him on the pitch for us he'd be stupendous!

he'll be instrumental for us in the Champions League (Zinc & Delph wont cut it in the latter stages)

Leagues wrapped up, with our squad players nicely coached & moulded to their positions

We'll see Mendy overlap to let Sané come inside to score more goals. Mendy also loves to run inside the fullback which I'm sure we'll see alot when Sané does take the right back out wide.

I really can't see a team that uses both Sane and Mendy unless Mendy plays on the left of a three.

You think Guardiola spent £53 million on a left back - the only left back in the squad - that can't be played with his only left winger? (and one of his most promising players). 433 is clearly our preferred formation, but we're supposed to think Pep decided we didn't need a left back in that formation?

Or is it that you think Pep built a squad with Sané and Sterling as integral parts of it, while pursuing another winger in Sanchez/Mahrez, only to play a 352 system with no wingers at all?

Sometimes I wonder if people just think no thought goes into building the squad at all.

Have you had too many tinnies of XXXX mate? Delph has been superb at LB this season, and the only way he "won't cut it" is because he is out injured. He has made very few mistakes this season and has linked up well going forward. And I can't really fault Zinchenko, even though it looks like he's not cut out to play LB. If it wasn't for these two, Pep would of had no choice in buying an established LB in January.

I have no doubt on the ability of Delph whatsoever.

They can both play in the same team. When Mendy comes forward, Sane will most probably come inside in an old fashioned inside left position, resulting in more goals scored IMO.

Ok, tell me your team?

Your team?

Your team?

Same as we are now with Mendy replacing Delph in a back 4. 3 at the back means Walker and Mendy plus one CB. Pep will not keep the other 3CBs(4 including Adarabioyo) happy for long who aren't starting. I should imagine he has quite a few headaches now keeping two out of the starting 11.
