Feyenoord v City pre-match thread

[Rammyblues]

Still early enough in season where players are still getting fit so play strongest side. Apart from Bravo in nets should be same starting line up as Saturday except with Pep you know there will be changes.

Would like to see Gundogan play.

When you say
"I don't understand how anybody can leave him out"
You are referring to the manager, so criticizing the managers judgement.
Guardiola has to manage, game by game, sections of the season, and the season as a whole. 70 games. Now I would say we can manage a win on weds without Aguero, and he will be fresh for Saturday, the same with David Silva. It is impossible to play every game, the manager has a great responsibility to judge when a player needs a break.

Fans unfortunately are not in a position to do this.

No, actually I was referring to the people who had given their starting 11 in here and excluded Aguero.

If he needs a break then give it him next week in the cup against wes brom. We are away in the champions league to the dutch champions. Why would you not play our strongest 11?

Don't think anyone can argue that Aguero wouldn't be in our strongest team.

Ederson wants to play
Start him

 

[St.Pauli support]

Last year De Kuip was a fortress for them.
Now City will come and dominate their place and they will be hoping for a point, and dreaming of a sensation.

Starting with a win is key and Pep will lineup his biggest guns. No experiments.
No need for resting players at this point in the 1st CL match of the season - 2nd half last Sat wasn't too tough anyway...
Would be interesting to know what match is more difficult for Pep: Feyenoord or Watford away?

I am sure the lads won't start as nervous and shaky as they did vs dippers. Didn't like to see that at all!!
They need to come out much more confident and thinking big, ready to boss that match.

The place will be rocking and waiting for the giant (that's us!) to stumble.
Think that won't happen.
Next clean sheet win would be great.

I'm not sure what our strongest team is yet. We haven't seen mendy and walker in a back 4 yet or Bernardo Silva. If Guardiola wanted to play two wide forwards he might easily decide that Jesus was a better starting bet than Aguero

Different opposition and possibly, tactics. No doubt he will pick the best 11 to suit which may or may not be the same as Sat

 

[Blue Til Death]

To be fair none of them were easy games. Hope you manage a win this time.

Thanks mate, really hope so

Rotation this season is completely different to last season.

For me I would change to a back 4 and replace Danilo, Silva and Aguero for Sterling, Sane and Bernardo.

If Ederson is fit to play id start him.

-----------------Ederson---------------
Walker--Stones--Otamendi--Mendy
-------------Fernandinho--------------
-------Bernardo----De Bruyne--------
Sterling--------Jesus-------------Sane

Bench - Bravo, Mangala, Danilo, Yaya, Gundogan, Silva, Aguero

 

[super_city_si]

Hard to say with Pep but I think Bernardo will get a start in this one.
