What is your preferred lineup for next season against a top side?

Mine:
Ederson
Nunes Dias Gvardiol Ait-Nouri
Rodri
Reijnders-Cherki (or Cherki Reijnders)
Foden - Haaland - Marmoush
 
Not sure who our best starers are. Maybe Haaland and Bernardo.

I'd have O'Reilly in my blinking line-up but not my staring one.

Post a lineup then! Indicating alternatives.

This thread is meant to be a bit of fun - hopefully free of personal attacks - while at the same time - driving towards a consensus for what Bluemooner's think our next season lineup and formation should be.

Thanks for your post!

My post was intended as a bit of fun based on your spelling mistake in the thread title.
 
Mine is ...
Ederson
Nunes Khusonov Gvardiol AitNouri
Rodri Reijnders
Marmoush Cherki Doku
Haaland

I don't think this would be it but ...
1. Ideally Khusonov and Gvardiol would form a rock solid new young central defence.
2. Rodri and Reijnders would help prevent counter attacking and add to the attack with more drive in central midfield.
3. Doku would learn to put in the crosses that are needed. If not then any of Foden, Savinho, Bobb, Echeverri can be consistent. I am beyond having a preference once the best is actually effective.
4. Also I've been ridiculed for this before but I'd have Haalannd come deep or wide so there is no targetman if the target man is becoming pointless. Let us have a false nine again but with Haaland attacking space.
 
Ederson
Livramento
Dias
Gvardiol
Ait-Nouri
Rodri
Nico Gonzalez
Reijnders
Cherki
Marmoush
Haaland
Yeah - I'm not confident in Nunes at starting RB - hopefully we sign a top replacement. But if we don't - I think that Nunes is our best starting RB option.

I believe Foden will recover and so I can see that line-up. I could also see Doku and Ait-Nouri on the left with a front 3 of Marmoush - Haaland - Doku.

Doku, Marmoush and Savinho are all likely to improve at City. I think Pep is going to be looking forward very much to the new season as he has the chance to rebuild City.
 
Eddie

Nunes
Dias/Khusanov
Gvardiol
Ait-Nouri

Rodri
Reijnders
Nico G

Cherki
Haaland
Marmoush


As much as I (really!) like him, Nunes sticks out like a sore thumb there - maybe because everybody else are in their natural positions and he's not.
 
Agreed! He cant play there again next season.
He's - unfortunately - our best option at starting RB next season. I agree that starting RB is a glaring weakness in our squad - and hopefully we can sign a much better replacement.

Until then - my preferred starting 11 is based on players currently in our squad.

Then i would Khusanov ahead of him mate! Is an actual defender and has recovery pace to help Ruben out.
