If the squad stays as it is, what is our strongest 11?

It's impossible to pick. The strength of our squad is incredible. And will get better in Jan.

Defensively there's still room for improvement, though sides like Barca and Real have done just fine with full backs that aren't necessarily the best defensively but are good going forward. Gundogan is probably the best central midfielder in the league, but Silva has now effortlessly become effective in this role and how can you drop Ferny?! But then De Bruyne can't play centrally and if you switch him wide who out of Nolito, Sterling, Sane or Jesus when he arrives misses out? Nacho is just scoring with ease and fine cover for Aguero and Jesus will also be able to play in this role.

imagine saying that last year. You'd get banned for wumming hahaha
Lol. In fairness I still don't trust Kolarov. Just didn't like the idea of forcing more players in. Especially players we haven't seen enough of yet.

I was going with the best of those we've seen. And Kolarov makes the top 11 on that criteria.

Unlikely hat jesus and sane will push out sterling considerig they are both younger and much less experienced
 
I think there is no definitive answer to this, as others have said we are very versatile now in all areas, tactic and players both. One week against x may be great and a tweak for match y next week can be equally as good.
 
I've tried to answer the OPs question over the last half hour and genuinely can't narrow it down.
What a brilliant position to be in :-)
 
Burridge - Edgehil , Vonk , Symons , Jihai - Kinsey , May , Sibierski , Pollock - Vassell , Cross , would give them a run for their money :) If there is a bunch of supporters who deserve this current success , it is ours , we have been through really tough times and come out the other side ,and i have to pinch myself everytime i walk into our superb stadium watching our world class players coached by Pep , it just doesnt get any better than this. But when opposition supporters sing "where were you when you are shit" it brings a wry smile
 
Bit out of left field with Dinho but...

-------------------------Bravo---------------------

Dinho-------Kompany-------Stones-------Kolarov

------------------------Gundogan-------------------

Sterling----Silva-------------------KDB--------Nolito
----------------------------Kun-----------------

I think with Dinho playing right back, he will end up in centre mid a lot anyway and it allows Gundogan, KDB and Silva to play together.

Otamendi was better than Stones in every game this season.
