We got absolutely battered there last season, so it'll be interesting to see how we fare this time around. No Otamendi and possibly no Delph (depending on how serious his injury was yesterday), so there will have to be some changes defensively.
A makeshift surely can't be any worse than Mangala. It's time to accept its never going to work for him at City unfortunately, he's a disaster waiting to happen. Makeshifts can be successful, look at Javi Garcia at CB vs Hull in 13/14If we've got a 4th Centre half, then play him. Otherwise what's point of even having him train
Rather put my faith in him than put in a makeshift
