Nah, we should beat them :)

Hopefully this isn't 4-4-2

Jesus proved with last season that he's better at the leading the line than Sergio. We looked so much more fluent before Jesus got that injury.

Aguero second choice when we have 1 up top.

For this game - yes, other games who knows

I think we need to forget the word dropped,we have a quality squad now and pep rotates every single game

Amen, but the BBC (see below) and the rest of the mainstream media will not be so discerning:

"I can hear Fantasy Football managers up and down the country groan at the news that Aguero has been dropped."

Why ant the official OS get the lineup something like correct.

They've obviously got the team sheet right and I don't expect them to be exact with where each player will play but they've got Silva at LB and Mendy in Cm.. Sterling up front and our Kev on the LW.

It's a little thing but it does my head in.

Like it but would have gone for aguero and stones instead of Jesus and otamendi.
Don't know own why stones is always the one who is dropped from the defence before otamendi.

because Ota is much better

Love the look of this line up, solid and quick in the attacking areas.

Feel he has dropped the right players and it's time for some to realise it's about the team rather than personalities.

...he set up 2 glorious opportunities for D Silva and Sterling on Monday which they both contrived to miss from about 5 yards, scored against Brighton..how is that "bad:"...it's a lot more than Jesus has offered so far this season

Jesus also set up two glorious chances against Brighton (one of which Agüero completely fluffed, by the way) and was very unlucky not to have scored that header the Brighton keeper saved (it was a matter of inches). He also put in several good passes against Everton and was much more difficult for them to mark, creating space for others.

I think people have their club legend tinted specs on right now. I love Sergio, too, but we have to be realistic if we want to be successful. I have no doubt he'll bang in 25 at least this year but he is out of form right now.

It's weird. The same posters probably moan about the press making stuff up.

It's a change of system. That's it. No one is dropped or loads are dropped. It's a strange fascination.
