Don't want Mangala anywhere near this

This too. I'm polishing my boots as we speak.

Does Mangala prefer playing against a bigger forward as we will probably play our record signing Famara Diedhou up front tomorrow with Bobby Reid behind him? Fammy is a right handful at our level but only just back from a 3 month injury lay off. He can shift a bit, has decent feet and can hold the ball up much better than our other, smaller forwards.

Yeah, Mangala is better against bigger centre forwards. He struggles more against tricky, pacy strikers.

So has @typicalcity... but I suppose that one speaks for itself :-)

If Yaya starts, we're down to 10 men from the kick off.

We can put a strong enough team if we play our second team. Those players need game time too. Yaya hasn't been on match day squad for a long time now so I think he will play. I don't know whether foden has recovered from his injury. Hope he plays.
........................bravo
Danilo ...stones...mangala...zinchenko
................Yaya....gundogen
Bernardo......Silva........foden/Diaz
...................aguero

Why cant we start with our strongest team ffs its a second leg of a semi-final as good as the results have been we have won nothing yet To weaken the team would be folly, showing we have learnt nothing from the first game. which we were lucky to manage a slender lead. We are not yet in the CL we play Cardiff on Sunday not Barcelona. Sorry but this constant tiredness claim maybe apt around xmas but the players we have are supposedly super fit and are duly paid for this Would it not be more sensible to gain a good lead then bring the kids on

Do you mean pep should simply discard those players that got us to this semi final? dont think you will be happy when the team is announced tonight

Mangala can handle big slow strikers like ibra... but not fast players . Lukaku and pretty much everyone can be a Ronaldo against him.

I obviously didn't know that, no offence meant.

All cool mate - your first post was obviously light hearted banter. Some on here get over-sensitive - most of us with regards to KDB actually.
