Mendy will be good when he has a few games under his belt IMO.

 

[cleavers]

Stones and Silva back in contention according to Guardiola.

I'd leave Garcia in for now, he's done nothing wrong.

 

[ScottSinclair]

Stones and Silva back in contention according to Guardiola.

None of them gets in our best eleven atm, in my opinion

 

[Chi-town blues]

Long balls into the channels vacated by the team's marauding full-backs. Sheffield did it with a certain aplomb the other day. It's suicidal in some aspects i.e. United a few weeks ago but its Guardiola's philosophy: one that has brought me/us a huge amount of entertainment and joy over the last few years.

Yes I love his philosophy but when we don’t have a descent cb and a left back who are slow why push them all the way to center circle? This cost us Eddie with his red card .
