Why would we get smashed if we fielded that team?We’re going to get smashed on Sunday unfortunately but hopefully the team is:
Ederson
Walker
Stones
Otamendi
Angelino
Fernandinho
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Mahrez
Sterling
Aguero
If we lose the league is over end of story, you say they will draw 3 games and you think we will win all our games from Jan to April, I know we have players to comeback but 9 pts and if they play first 12 pts will be too much.That hurt, having to vote lose. But even though it pains me to say it i think we will lose as we are missing players and st the minute i have no confidence in the defence when under pressure
That said, i believe even though the gap will go to nine points that during the period after this Sunday until April in the return leg at our ground, that liverpool will draw 3 games.
The gap will be down to 3pts, making our home game a must win to make it all level.

Gundogan, De Bruyne and Bernie didn't cope well with being pressed quickly. Cancelo still is taking too many touches and still hasn't got the hours under his belt to know where the out pass is quickly enough. Mendy is still giving the ball away too easily. I'm afraid we have multiple issues for Pep to deal with just now. Walker and Angelino should play if we are four at the back. I agree with you that Foden should be in for his energy although I would have concerns for his physicality vs Liverpool midfield.We couldn't cope last night as soon as Atalanta upped their intensity on man to man.
Top many crap out balls to players with their backs to the play, lazy returns, evidenced with that crap half touch from Gundo which led to the Bravo sending off.
Even before the red card, Bravo was forced to come racing out to head clear, there is just so much space in behind our defenders.
Sterling just can't be arsed getting across quickly enough to support Mendy when teams go wide.
I'm not sure what Pep can do to avoid us getting a tonking, as the current injuries expose our deficiencies to the maximum.
Personally, I hope we go for legs.
Three at the back.
............... Ed (hopefully).........
........ Walker.. Stones...Otamendi
Cancelo .. Fern...Foden..De Bruyne.. Mendy
.......................Sergio.... Sterling.....
As Pep pointed out to our detractors in the press conference, it's the Champions League and it's difficult to control 90 minutes.We couldn't cope last night as soon as Atalanta upped their intensity on man to man.

Chin up my friend. It’s always darkest before the dawn.That hurt, having to vote lose. But even though it pains me to say it i think we will lose as we are missing players and st the minute i have no confidence in the defence when under pressure

I admit I fear the worse - but that team would have a fighting chance wouldn't it?
