Stones will play as a inverted fullback. KDB will take up the forward wide crossing position when needed

maybe
do city need a flat back 4 tonight ? a back 3 would suit the team playing tonight

 

[Manc in London]

he was on the bench last match and didn't even play and how do you think he is unfit?

He may not have been 100% in the last game and has not improved. Pep thinking he needs rest and recouperation.

He may not have been 100% in the last game and has since aggravated the injury.

He may have been rested in the last game.

He got injured in training.

 

[Deepest Blue]

Which according to some posters means he has been burnt alive

By Pep

Wouldn't be surprised if he has taken him out of the firing line for a while
He puts a lot into each match but the fatigue and the gushing praise he's been receiving lately may have gotten to him and a break may do him good.

Pardon?

Stones hasn't been fragile for a good while. The only clown I saw say that was Neville, to justify putting pan head Maguire in his team of the season ahead of him last season.

 

[paulchapo]

A strange lineup hopefully it works.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

A few lol, i just feel pep bends over for beilsa a bit

He doesn't we should've twatted em twice last season.

 

[sh249]

Hopefully a 3-2-4-1. Back three with Rodri and Zinchenko in front of them.

 

[Cotontoquinn]

A strange lineup hopefully it works.

Anyone who would have selected this lineup?? That young Academy fullback on the bench should have been given a start.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Keep your normal system in difficult times.
Stones replacing Walker, the rest remains as usual. IMO.

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Don't actually believe the Kyle thing. Think he is being punished for losing his mind in the CL game. If so well deserved

He was in a foul mood for that entire game. Something has upset him for sure.
