Is Toure available?

Is Toure available?

Any idea why he wasn't in the squad yesterday?

 

[cibaman]

Any idea why he wasn't in the squad yesterday?

No, and I'm surprised that it hasn't been mentioned in the media. Can't believe that Delph & Foden were picked ahead of him on footballing grounds. It must be either illnes or injury, a fall out, or perhaps a personal issue.

I just want to see Bernardo and Gundogan start if possible. Also the kids. Think Brahim can get himself on the score sheet here.

I hope Pep takes it more seriously than you. This is not a time to experiment

 

[mosssideblue]

That's clearly overkill. Really no need.

Every need. First qual game, lets simply win it rather than fuck about with a team that "should win it"

 

[mosssideblue]

What the fuck is ging on with this rotation shit, have we learnt nothing from last year.

Let the team settle, the formation works well so don't tinker.

If we are lucky enough to be a couple up with 20 minutes left then sure give a few a break but lets start strong

Absolutely. These will be the first on here moaning if Pep put a rotated team out and we didn't get a result. Get the game won and then tinker

I've no idea about Feyenoord, but please do not play 3 at the back.

Got away with it against Liverpool because Salah could not pick a pass, but it just gives such an easy way for our opponent to threaten our goal. If we had a quick left sided central defender (move Mendy tocentre back?) it could work.

Feyenoord will have watched our game and noted this as a weakness they could exploit.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Interested to see how we approach it. I would assume we go full strength. Obviously Eddie starts if fit but if not then:

Bravo
Walker
Stones
Otamendi
Mendy
Ferna
De Bruyne
Silva
Bernardo
Aguero
Sané

Murić, Danilo, Mangala, Touré, Gundogan, Sterling, Jesus

After humiliating Liverpool, I'm
confident we can dispatch these. 2-0. Another for Jesus would be ideal.

Might want to start him then
