I'm a bit confused!

One of our main threats is keeping the wingers really wide. But with Mahrez and Sterling on the "wrong" side, and neither of them good on their wrong foot, why not try swapping them round? Neither is really able to take on the defender on the outside-especially Mahrez who is so one footed it's not true. No good having width if the defender knows they will always go inside to get on their best foot.

The funny thing is that Mahrez has his goals from the right and Raheem has just got his Jimmy White in-off on the left! What do we know? What makes sense? I can't find anything that makes sense these days.

Both players can still get to the byline and beat the man anyway, as far as I am concerned. Also, especially on the right, if Mahrez comes infield, he'll often take the fullback with him. Then Bernado or another will make a run behind the FB, and Mahrez/whoever can play it round the corner.

They constantly get in on the outside. Plus it's much better to have them running inside onto their strong feet

Constantly?-well not today they didn't. As soon as Sane came on Raheem looked much more comfortable

Perhaps you should email the club and ask them to forward your confusion on to pep.
From now until May it doesn't matter how we play and what position raz or leroy are playing, it's all about the three points.
It may be ugly. It may be lucky but if we can get a win I couldn't care less if leroy plays in net and ederson scores a hat trick, let's win with any formation.
Can't believe this fuckin thread after a big win in a shit run.

So that they can cut and shoot with their strong foot .

So they can cut in and play the ‘slide rule ‘ pass or just ‘dink’ it in....
Either way I like it and we score lots of goals from these moves

If you can be arsed to look, I started it at 1-1!!!!!

I'll go and get my blue tinted glasses back on and pretend they all look really comfortable in that set up. Raheem regularly swaps sides with Sane but not with Mahrez. Clearly I'm the only City fan who thinks it odd they never vary it.

We look best with Sterling on the right and Sane on the left. Any other formation or personnel is a drop off I’m afraid to say.
