With 2 attacking FBs it's more like a 2-4-4.

Fly goalie too.

Going 2-8.

its crazy to think city really do have 2 different teams and setups that are good enough to win the title and cups and champions league ? total football or horses for courses

Decent amount of attacking pace and movement, but struggling to see the shape or game plan to be honest.

I assume 2-4-4 in possession and 4-4-2/4-5-1 when we don't have the ball.

The game plan is to get no injury to Rodri or Ederson. Nothing more than that matters.

How have they only played three ? Hopefully they are rusty

Let's hope it clicks today, the last 2 times Sterling, Jesus & Torres started together have beeen woeful. I hope I'm wrong but I think we will make heavy work of this.

If that team can’t beat Palace, we might as well hand the rags the trophy.

The ones coming in, have a point to prove that they’re good enough to start all games.
Would love to see Aguero and Sterling get goals today, I live in hope.

0-2

Not the team that's put out today though (and thank you Pep!) ... doubt the today's XI today have played even full three games each in last whatever days you want to compare.
