You saw the look on Aguero's face when he was on the bench against Bournemouth. Sanchez look will be even worse if he is on the bench for any other reason than injury.
That could be a problem. Sanchez...like Aguero, won't like being rotated. Sane, Jesus and Sterling might tolerate being rotated sometimes.
That is what happens at Real Madrid, hardly doing any harm is it?

Ronaldo really doesn't get rotated. And then they have Benzema and Bale. And Lucas Vazquez and Asensio as back-ups. And you know what happened to James and Morata. We i'm saying: we have a better forward depth with Sanchez, than Madrid do.
Aguero, Sanchez, Jesus, Sane, Sterling. vs Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema, Asensio, Vazquez.

We have an amazing squad and we will get Sanchez and a CB to top that up.
I have two big concerns
1- We have too many similar players who when played together get in each others ways
2- We are not playing our amazing players in their best positions, Rather in the wrong roles at times :(
Hate to say it but saw Rags play Leicester and every player seemed to be in his ideal position and they all worked well.
Hope the coaching staff and Guardiola can come up with the best formation for these amazing talented players to perform to their best and play them to their strengths.
It's still early but the squad and players we have can do much better in the right formation and tactics/positions.
We can be destroying teams 4 - 0 like Rags or Liverpool our squad is much better than theirs yet we struggled in all the games so far to get a draw or late winner

Heresy :pI understand its now a squad game,but i think that's our best 11.Possibly Stones for Otamendi.

We've struggled because our players don't take chances and we've been robbed in two games already.

Surprising how many have predicted a loss is that just tradition? Think it will be an entertaining draw myself
Would be funny as hell if Sanchez signs for us this week, plays next week (again) against Liverpool but ends up winning 4-0 this time :D
It's happening ... it's all written in the footballing stars ... 4-0 to City coming up ... Sanchez to come off the bench and add that 4th after an Aguero brace and a signature KdB free kick!

I am going for a draw just about. In a sense this is Pep's first really big test as manager of MCFC. The international break might help us in this case.
Hopefully we can iron out a few of the teething problems apparent in the first three games. Liverpool will be licking their lips at the prospect of
playing us as our style suits them down to the ground. If we are to get something out of this match we need to nullify their swift counter attacking
and somehow manage to be more ruthless in front of goal. It could be decided by yet another poor decision by one of the officials but we really have
to reach the level under Pep that our dominance of big teams at home is such that any dodgy rulings do not have a significant impact on the result.
Not sure we can achieve this yet so I am not too optimistic about the outcome.
