Just 3 days before Shakhtar, I'd go:
Ederson, Walker, Kompany, Laporte, Delph, Fernandinho, Silva, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero, Sane
Bench: Muric, Danilo, Otamendi, Foden, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Jesus

Bench: Muric, Danilo, Otamendi, Foden, De Bruyne, Mahrez, Jesus

That's pretty much full strength. And I agree in that I believe this is the way it should go. Rotate a but against Shakhtar (Mahrez and Jesus won't exactly weaken the team) while keeping everyone fresh for the match against Tottenham.

Danilo rolkes his ankle and hobbled off tonight v Argentina. Looks like we'll have to manage Walker well over the next few weeks again. We don't have an awful lot of luck with full backs do we....

Step forward Luke Bolton. Should at least give him a go as he was excellent pre season even though it’s not his natural position. He would certainly be fine for the Carabao Cup match

I’d be more concerned that you’ve allowed yourself to listen to that moron :) Hopefully though it’s just pure rubbish :)

Careful what you say, hes a proper hardman and a former member of a gang that was quite crazy

You'd rest Sterling for the Champions League match?

It’s just a glorified cup after all lol

I quite fancy her

I was thinking of the 2nd match against Shakthar a few days ago and since you've expressed that view, here's a question:

Let's assume that we beat Shakthar this week. Do you play a weakened team against them in the 4th matchday and rest everyone for the United match a few days later (risking a bad result which may cost us qualification or first place,, atleast?), or do you focus on getting through the group and trusting that we would have enough to get 3 points even with a 3 day rest?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

I quite fancy her

I quite fancy her, too - when Bravo needs replacing! Would it be an upgrade? (Sorry, Claudio, didn't mean it!)

He would rest him every game if he was boss-;)
