FC Basel (a) pre-match thread

[kaz7]

Brahim instead of Foden

Foden is a world cup winner and further along,doubt he will see any minutes anyway

 

[aguero93:20]

Good to see Silva , Delph and Sane step up their recovery to the next stage.

Doubt we will see any of them start on Tuesday but Silva might make the bench.

Interesting to see if VK starts ahead of Stones as that will be the statement of what is ahead if Laporte is rested as appears to be on the rumour file.

I think we'll see a couple of them as we're only travelling with 20 including Muric and we need 18 for the matchday squad. See below.

I saw the first tweet from somebody called "@Tolmie_goal" but don't shoot the messenger....

Don't worry about any of that mate, there's a bloke on Twitter with a blue tick who reckons the world will end at 9am tomorrow.

The same bloke who thinks it might as well if Laporte is injured.

and Delph!

 

[Easy]

yes in a bit

Cheers!!

Must admit I love watching them. Even though they can be repetitive, it’s worth listening to a true genius speak.

According to SSN all 3 of Fabian Delph, Leroy Sane and David Silva all took part in training this morning. So maybe they will be on the bench or even start tomorrow against Basle.

Silva will start I should imagine, Delph and Sane on the bench.

But I think Pep will start the same 11 he started last game with the exception of Danilo.

For those also waiting for the pre match presser:

......UEFA rule 13 ("media matters") says:

- each of the clubs involved must hold a PRE match press conference
- one day before the match
- between 12 am and 8 pm local time
- attended by at least the head coach plus one or, preferably, two players
- staged in the stadium in which the match is to be played.
- The two press conferences must be arranged by the two clubs and UEFA together, so that the media can attend both.

- The POST-match press conferences at the venue must start no later than 20 minutes after the final whistle.

Anyone know if the team are in Basel yet?

 

[mosssideblue]

We could do with a clean sheet tomorrow. I'd be hoping for a 0-2/0-3.

Ederson

Walker Stones Otamendi Danilo

Fernandinho

Bernardo KDB Silva Sterling

Kun



Then Wigan

Bravo

Danilo Kompany Laporte Delph

Gundogan

Bernardo Foden D.Silva Sane

Nemecha

Subs
Ederson Aguero Stones Diaz Yaya Sterling Zinchenko.


So basically we could rest - Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho, KDB, Sterling and Aguero and give Delph, Sane and Dave some valuable minutes to dust off the cobwebs before the Final.

We should send Kev away for 5 days after Basel. Nice rest and properly recharge before the run in.

Not for me mate. If Delph is fit he should play tomorrow, same with Sane. So important we have an advantage to bring home

[wattle]

I think we'll see 2 completely different teams tomorrow and nest Monday in the cup
Tomorrow
Eddy; Walker Otta Stones Zinchenko; Fern; Merlin Kev; Sterling Serg Bernardo subs Bravo Danilo Delph Laporte Sane Gunda Foden
Monday
Bravo; Danilo Vinny Laporte Delph; Gunda Kev Foden; Sergio Sane Diaz subs Eddy Walker Stones Merlin Bernardo Fern Zinchenko

Look at that Wigan line up with NINE changes! Suddenly our squad looks very very strong :-))))

 

[whos_kompany85]

It's the champions league, can't believe the flippant attitude of some on here, strong team and full focus on this game.
Come on city.
