Surely we have to be full strength and that means Aguero starting? Premier league takes priority.

Definitely

Not sure Pep and the hierarchy see it the same.

I know I do Prem all the way.

If Kun has any sort of a niggle I'd be putting him in an Exec box for this one.

We all know how delicate Cardiff's tackles are & he is the one player who if missing would fuck up any chance of a clean sweep.

Less than 3 days recovery until the Brighton game, he'll definitely rotate.

------------------Ederson
Danilo----Stones-----Laporte----Zinchenko
----------------Fernandinho
---------Gundogan-------Bernardo
Sterling------------Jesus---------------Sane

Subs: Muric, Otamendi, Walker, Foden, KDB, D.Silva, Mahrez

Assuming Aguero needs a rest, otherwise probably have him on the bench.

Wouldn't mind us putting the goal difference into double figures over Liverpool, just to be safe.

This team and subs is perfect. Which is to say it's the exact same one I'd just scribbled down. Honestly wouldn't take any chances with Sergio.

On balance I disagree. It’s essential we rotate at least 3 or 4 players in this match. We don’t prioritise, we do what’s best to try to win everything. We are not Liverpool.

Danilo in for Walker is not even a risk, it’s an improvement.

As is Stones in for Otamendi.

As is Fernandinho coming in as the holding midfielder.

Sané coming in... well some people want him in their starting line up anyway, so what’s the issue?

Jesus in for Aguero is the only downgrade, but that looks like being forced anyway due to injury.

That’s rotating 5 players and there is literally no risk to it. Our squad is amazing.

Ederson
Zinchenko
Laporte
Stones
Danilo
Fernandinho
KDB (try to play him into form in our easiest remaining game)
Bernardo/Gundogan
Sané
Jesus
Sterling

That’s a great team, with 5 changes.

Not if there is any risk of any further damage to Aguero, wouldn’t be very surprised if he doesn’t start either game this week, and he’s rested for Spurs and the run in.

Yup. Expect to see Gab starting the next game.

Front 6 in my opinion will be:

Dihno
Gundogan
Dave
Bernado
Sterling
Jesus.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Fully expect danilo, stones, fernandinho, Sane and jesus all to play in this and I wouldn't bet against mahrez and Mendy too if he's fit, as much as we need to win every game left we can only do that by utilising the squad and not relying on about 14 players. We also have to remember cardiff play today too and they don't have the squad depth we have. Plenty of freshness in the team and a chance for the peripheral players to show their worth

Sane 100% starting this one!

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Sane 100% starting this one!

Is that twat who tried to break his leg still with these shithouses?

Think he (Sane) will want to give them a good seeing to.
