City vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach pre-match thread

Can't see there being much rotation
as it's clear that this competition is going to be given top priority this season.

Winning the first game at home is vital so I expect the same team but with Aguero in for Kelechi and maybe Zab in for Sagna.

Same team as today apart Aguero for Kelechi, we can make some rotations against Bournemouth

Just watched Barca losing at home. The commentator mentioned that Celtic would be pleased at that. Pity we don't play them for a while.

Must win game really. Not much rotation for me.

I saw Gladbach playing today. They had massive problems with Freiburg pressing them high - what we will do. The defence was horrible too. Freiburg, just promoted from 2. Bundesliga, should have scored some more.

Gladbach is a decent team but if they play that way in the CL we will absolutely smash them. They were better last season. A win is a must.

i wouldn't be surprised to see Sané start this one. He needs the match time, so maybe an hour or so.

Also, the 'Gladbach players will know him from the Bundesliga and will be terrified of his pace.

Bravo

................Stones........................Kolarov


Zabaleta...................................................Clichy

.........................Fernandinho

.................de Bruyne...................Silva

Sterling..................Agüero....................................Sané

Not a bad line-up, but I'd prefer Bravo in a more central position ;-)

I am so excited to watch us every single time now. This is a huge change from last year. I also expect Sane to start and Gundogan to be on the bench if he is fit.
