ProbablyDidn’t Raz miss one of the biggest all time sitters in that drawn game?
With Oliver it will be a red card for Ferna more than likely!Come and press Fernandinho you scousers pricks. See what you get...
Hmmmmm.....interesting thought, I could go with that team but think we'll probably stick with 4-3-3 (ish). My only change possibly in a 3-5-2 would be Bernardo instead of Sterling, but then Bernie having a rest before Liverpool maybe isn't a bad idea as we need his energy in that game. Rodri has to play against Burnley, he can break up play but crucially he wins a huge amount of headers - important against this lot where the hoofed ball usually comes down with snow on it. Think it will be a tough game too.Anyone think Pep may roll with a 3-5-2? We’ve got to try it sometime, Laporte is getting up to speed, KW can do a number on McNeil (their only outlet after long balls) allowing Joao to push on from the left, with Rodders shielding the back 3 from the short aerial attack, plenty of height & pace to hit them on the counter when they throw bodies forward at set pieces something like:-
Ederson
Stones Dias Laporte
Walker Cancelo
Rodri
Foden Gundogan
Sterling Jesus
No chance he will mess with the formation IMO. He changed it a month or so ago and it’s working so I cannot see a change for the sake of it.Anyone think Pep may roll with a 3-5-2?

I think that's basically what he's been doing already with either Zinchenko or Cancelo moving into the CDM role with Rodri or Fernandinho.Anyone think Pep may roll with a 3-5-2?

Dias for both. Burnley away is not a game to rest your most dominant defenderDias will surely be rested. He needs one and Laporte needs game time. Stones had his rest so comes back in so surely it will be Laporte and Stones for Burnley and Dias and Stones for Liverpool.
Some good height in that team, again useful v Burnley. I think that may be the team, other than MAHREZ rather than PhilEderson
Cancelo
Dias
Stones
Laporte
Rodri
Gundogan

Have you replied to the wrong person by mistake?Easy to be critical of individuals in a team sport.
Of course players will have off days , some will struggle with injury and personal battles that effects form and management and recruitment does require discussion and replacements found from time to time.
Remember its never as bad as it seems and never as good as it looks.
We know when we click and players are up for the fight we are hard to beat and that is all when can expect.
Humour has gone over yer head thenWe have got some right fucking dicks supporting us these days. Oh FFS this and FFS that. Two things (1) he plays for City, not the rags or the dippers or some other cunts (2) the comments aren’t even amusing, just the same juvenile crass shite every fucking game. Many of the same fuckers were slagging Ilkay Gundogan off a month ago. Sad twats
