City v Liverpool (Home) Pre-Match Thread

[Ethan23]

It's important to play a deep line to counter the pace of Mane Firminho and Salah. If we play a high line we'll get fucked.

I reckon

Ederson

Walker
Kompany
Otamendi
Mendy

Fernandinho
Silva
De Bruyne

Sanchez
Aguero
Jesus

The front 3 all inter changing... Christmas has come early!

How happy are you that we have pace at full-back now that we play liverpool?

------------------Ederson
Walker----Stones--Kompany----Mendy
---------------Fernandinho
--B.Silva.....KDB.....D.Silva....Sane
..................Jesus

No Sanchez??

 

[IWasHere]

I honestly don't know how to play these guys but my instincts is to go with our best ball possesses.
....................Ederson....................
Walker..Komp..Otamendi...Mendy
................Gundogan
Silva, Debryune, Silva, Sanchez
....................Jesus...............

Can't wait till gundogan gains match fitness. What a team that would be.

What game this is going to be

Can't wait

Hope the atmosphere is better than it has been at some early kick offs

 

[cibaman]

No Sanchez??

When will he return from South America? Perhaps better for him to be on the bench if he's only had a couple of days at the club.

Beat them 3-0 and, at the end of the game, Pep can walk on the pitch, put a consoling arm around Emre Can, ruffle his hair, and whisper in his ear: 'sign a pre-contract in January and you too can be here'.

Ederson
Walker Kompany Stones Mendy
De Bruyne Silva Bernardo
Jesus Aguero Sanchez

Subs: Toure, Sane, Sterling

7-5 City

Because why not

 

[cibaman]

Brazil, Argentina & Chile all play Tuesday evening. I expect the selection for the Liverpool game will be hugely influenced by the condition of the players when they report back on Thursday. Not helped by the early kick off which will mean that the South American players will think they're playing at breakfast time. Also, very little preparation time so not really the ideal game to introduce new players or tinker with the formation.
