City v Southampton pre match thread

[Easy]

I'd go Walker for Danilo. Walker seems not to get tired.
Agree with the Mangler selection, we've got to play him some time over the coming month and it's too risky to play Vince twice a week.
KDB looking a bit knackered so agreed Gundogan to start.

Definitely too risky to play Kompany. Save him for West Ham and then the derby.

True on Walker, he does have a lot of energy, thought we might rest him just to have him fully concentrated. The only bad games he has played for us were Shakhtar and the home Napoli game, both were midweek after he played the weekend game. That why I put Danilo in and let’s have a fresh and focused Walker for West ham and the rags. Thought Danilo had played well at RB when he got the chance and even assisted Jesus during the last international break!!

Genuinely think we do need to rotate here. Playing Kompany twice in a week would be absolutely stupid so I’d like to see Mangala start. In the midfield KDB has looked a bit leggy last couple of games so I’d give gundogan a game and give Bernardo a start and rest Sane or Sterling.

Have got to rotate now with games every 3 days. I suspect Jesus will rotate with Aguero too.

Ederson
Walker
Danilo.
Otamendi
Kompany
Fernandinho
D Silva
B Silva
sane
Aguero
Jesus.

Sterling and De Bruyne come back in on Sunday for B Silva and Aguero with Gundogan in for Fernandinho.

I don't like too much pissing around with the defence especially when Kompany and Otamendi need games together before the big one.

Did Pep do a press conference for this? Cant see anything. What did he say Karen?

I'll have a look,broke my shoulder and clavicle this morning so missed it

Ouch! I feel your pain. I did both of mine 20 years apart. One from rugby, one from footie...

The one 20 years later took longer to heal. Fancy that...;) Nothingt o do with old age of course. Both hurt though. Just make sure you have a good brace and take it easy.
