City v Liverpool (Home) Pre-Match Thread

[pavelsrnicek]

Seems to be a few headaches for Pep this weekend notably:

Do we go 3-5-2 or 4-3-3
Who plays if Kompany doesn't
Yaya, Fernandinho or an unlikely recall for Gundogan
Jesus or Kun or both
Who replaces Sterling- Sane in a straight swap or Kun with Jesus moving to the left
Walker or Danilo

I have a terrible feeling that we're a little under cooked for this one and with Liverpool flying we could be in trouble.

IF Vinny is out;

.......................Ederson...............
Walker....Stones..........Otamendi......Mendy
....................Fernandinho...................
.................Silva.......De Bruyne...........
B Silva.........................................Sane
.......................Aguero.................

Just once I'd like to see our team turn up for the first 30 mins of a liverpool game too.

We could hire the Wiggles to be our backline, if we put away half the chances we'll make it won't matter who's defending.

 

[JimmyNJ]

First international break and one of the positions we are gambling with going into the season, centre-half, is already a concern and we're ALREADY stuck with an Otamendi and Stones partnership. NOT GOOD.

He won't be dropping Jesus.

 

[BlueMojito]

So should ours

Yes absolutely, could end up like a Kevin Keegan era game. Hopefully we'll score more than them.

I thought Kompany was awful against Bournemouth

I thought Kompany was awful against Bournemouth

He hasn't been that great so far, but he brings leadership, passion and confidence which I think is a big part of why we've been able to turn around the last two games. We just don't have any real leaders without him

Is Silva fit? I noticed he went off at half time the other day. They were pissing it though at that point so maybe just giving others a run out.
