Sane as impact sub, Ota and Fern to cover defense and midfield, Foden or Tosin to come on if we are comfortable for last 15.

Normally yes, but one has had a fantastic preseason while the other looks distinctly rusty. I think Sterling deserves to start, whether that's instead or Sané, Jesus or even Aguero.

Unless the preseason was just a big smoke screen, the starting 11 seems pretty obvious.

Ederson
Walker
Kompany
Stones
Otamendi
Danilo
Toure
Silva
KDB
Jesus
Aguero

I think Pep wanted to shoe horn in Sane, but he was disastrous defensively against West Ham.

How can someone be disastrous when they had hardly fuck all to do ?
I agree that the wing back position, isn't great for him, but disastrous, nah.
 
It's true that West Ham hardly threatened all game, but when they did it was storming down our left side, while Sane was trotting back 30 yards behind the play.
 
Ederson

Kompany - Stones - Otamendi

Walker - De Bruyne - Yaya - Silva - Sané

Sterling - Aguero
​
Muric, Mangala, Danilo, Fernandinho, Bernardo, Foden, Jesus.

Have to start Sterling.
 
3:3:4 with Ederson, Walker, Danilo, Stones, Kompany, Yaya, Debruyne, D Silva, Sane, Sterling, Jesus. Same as when we battered West Ham in the cup except we have great fullbacks

I hope that Pep doesn't try any of his left field off the wall stuff this season just to try to be different or to prove that he's an Alchemist.

Keep it simple, start the best,in form,eleven suitable for each game. Use any 'bonus'time in games to get minutes & experience into Foden,Diaz,Tosin & Sanchez.

Don't underestimate anyone,anywhere. Don't slacken off if we're comfortably ahead,be utterly ruthless,remorseless,relentless.

Just do it City....no dramas this time please.

Wouldn't be City if there was no drama

Allow well over an hour from Brighton station. Odds on fans will have an extra pint and have an twinge of anxiety getting to the ground on time. Well over an hour is the recommendation for ordinary Championship games when the trains are working properly. Maybe more for the Premier League?

PS: play three at the back and it gives Brighton a sporting chance. Brighton will play 4-4-1-1 but both Baldock and Knockaert are already injured.

Knockaert came on as a sub yesterday against atletico Madrid so im expecting him to be fit. Glenn Murray was missing though.

I think it's a tough game to be honest and the first 20-30 minutes are crucial. It's their 1st top flight game since 1983 so the crowd will be absolutely buzzing.

Still think we'll win though
 
Really looking forward to this. I just read a report on Brighton's 2-3 loss to Madrid. They had a full house and seemed to play pretty well.

Their players are really going to be up for the game against us. As always, if we take our chances then we will get the business done. If not it might be a bit of a struggle. It will be very interesting if Pep decides to play three at the back. I really like that formation with all the speed in our team.

Come on City!

You are the first to pick him for your bench but I have thought Muric would get back up keeper as well.
 
Going to be a tough game, newly promoted team away from home but I'll think we'll come good. Not a clue about the team past the defense because there really is so many options. A great problem to have.

3-1 city
