brilliant stuff @MAG

It's my perfect team, aside from Walker in and Cancelo pushing out Zin.

It's not so much an issue because the balance higher up is so great.

I've said it for weeks, this team becomes special when Foden and Bernie are starting and De Bruyne is pushed right up top, where him taking risks doesn't cost us.

It frees Gundo up to go beyond the false nine and fair play to Pep for keeping faith with Mahrez.

It can be construed at the expense of either Sterling or Jesus, simply because Pep wants Kev in his best team.

I can only agree. That is one hell of a team and probably our strongest lineup. You have to remember this is the starting 11. The solid foundation. As the match wears on City from a position of strength can make changes to deal with the match details, good or bad. That team is so strong I have already relaxed and feeling really confident.

NO STERLING?????? FUCKING JOKE!!!

Not sure you will catch many with that

 

[Inter Me Nan]

That's a yes and a yes to two different questions, if you get my drift ;-)

But, long overdue a new telly. Head says Samsung/LG, heart says Sony for picture quality. But that's for a different thread.

So, cmon blues you bunch of dipper bashing piss takers, a good show tonight please. Momentum is everything.

Don't get an LG they don't last 5 minutes...bit like me.

look at that bench. That eleven could win the Champions League.

The only thing that surprises me about this team is the absence of a left footed player in the back 4 / 3

Same here, and an argument can be made that Walker's recovery pace overrides his lack of technical ability in the big European games?

If it’s a Samsung OLED, go for it. Either that or Sony. Can’t think of any other brand but cmon blues as you pointed out.

To be honest I still don't enjoy seeing Mahrez in the lineup, even in his good games he's frustrating for most of the game, doesn't work off the ball, goes missing for 10 minutes at a time, the difference between his great games and shit games is just that a few of the speculative shots go in instead of wide!

But I can acknowledge he is in good form and is likely to chip in with a goal or assist so worth his place.

He’s been working a lot harder then others the last month or so
