Cardiff (A) Pre Match Thread

[blue b4 the moon]

Nico and vinnie please
Bernardo central
Sane and sterling wide

Cheers

Yeah it's not hard is it.

Anything other than a convincing win will have people asking questions of the squad and there mentality no pissing about but would look at protecting some of our flair players from the obvious kicking we are going to get

Ederson

Walker
Otamendi
Vinny
Delph

Fernandinho
Gundogan
D Silva

Sterling
Aguero
Sane

Put Foden instead of Gundogan and Id be very happy with that

Nothing way that t*** warnock would make sure the kid doesn't play again this season

If Mendy and Danilo are fit I’d start both around VK and Otamendi. The 2 Silvas in midfield, with Sergio, Mahrez and Sane. The only question would be over Fernandinho, I would consider Stones at DM.

I genuinely don’t know if there’s much pace in the Cardiff side but if there isn’t then Stones at DM for me.

My big worry would be that this is the kind of match that could be a Wigan repeat. The best way to avoid this is to be utterly clinical. We’ll need to match their work rate and show a little aggression. It’s the kind of match we need to show done personality and character as a team.

I thought the same, Foden for Gundogan. Cardiff will be watched closely this season after it was highlighted how they were against PL opposition last season (us). Refs will be onto it before it’s even nearly allowed to happen.

 

[Pete Campbell]

I'd go:

Ederson
Walker Kompany Otamendi Zinchenko
Silva Stones Bernado
Sterling Aguero Sane

Foden to get some minutes.

Well, Gundogan has tweeted his disappointment after last nights game.
It reads very sincere to me & I absolutely think we’ll hammer Cardiff, I mean seriously hammer them.

 

[GHH]

Ederson
Walker Kompany Otamendi Delph
Fernandinho Silva Bernardo
Sterling Aguero Sane

Think we'll bounce back with Pep back in the dugout, Sterling and Sanes pace will be key and we have to go with the two more physical centre backs. 2-0 City. Hopefully if it's comfortable we can take Fernandinho off after 60 and rest him for next weekend. Would be good if Danilo could get some minutes as well as we need a full squad now it's back to 2 games a week.

 

[Hoghead]

I think D. Silva will be rested or on the bench for this game. Looked off last night.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Foden for Gundogan please.

I sense Leroy will be looking for payback...
