No DeBruyne?

put Kompany in for Otamendi and that will be our best 11 imo

Personally don't see how anyone can pick a best City 11 without DeBruyne. Absolutely ridiculous. Also think pep prefers Kolarov over Clichy because of passing ability.

KDB in our best 11 for sure.

Formation is obviously fluid, but those are our best 11 IMO.

No DeBruyne?

For the sake of our balance, maybe

I'd be very happy if Pep somehow finds a way to graft them all in. And if he is to do that, the line up would be pretty much the one you have highlighted but personally i'd go for Clichy rather than Kolarov

 

[Kompany is King]

Gabriel Jesus joins in January

Gabriel Jesus joins in January

Correct, although not sure of his relevance v Gundogan.

Watching more of his compilations and I haven't been this excited for a new signing since Fernandinho, this guy is gonna push us up another level.

I'd forgotten how hard Zaba hit him in that game, probably didn't do that back issue any favours :D

 

[denk82]

such an immense talent. i cant wait to see him fit and playing.

Last year people has been shouting to drop KDB too for the sake of 'balance'. Remember last year when he was injured from Jan to April, how did our 'balanced' team performed?

I'm sorry but this argument makes no sense whatsoever. What balance is this that you're talking about?

That goddamn pass/low cross to Lewa, hopefully Serg benefits from a couple of those

I always thought gundogan would be at the base of a 3 but reading a few posts on here it seems people think he will play in 1 of the 2 advancedd positions?

The amount of times Toure gets schooled in that video...

I'd say Fern Gun and KDB first choice midfield.

Time will tell, according to Ilkay he was told by Guardiola he wanted to bring him in because he wanted a player like him, that suggests to me that he wants Gundogan for the role Fernandinho is currently playing.

As brilliant as Dinho has been in that role so far I'd also like to see him in one of the more advanced roles, I think he'd be devastating in attack, much like he was at Donetsk.

Yeah, was just laughing at that as well. He was mostly so shit in Europe and that just shows how far are/were the PL sides compared to the best European teams. He bossed everything in the league while they made him look like a tool in CL games.

I would have thought silva would be first choice on recent performances!
