Lack of legs and energy in our midfield without Bernardo and Foden.

 

[remember arthur mann]

I would have preferred to see Walker behind Mahrez - Cancelo will have to play as an orthodox right back as KdB probably will not cover that side as well as Bernado will.
Given our 21 game run I guess we should be expecting to play our game rather than react to theirs though.

You've more chance of keeping possession with Len.

That team plays into the Rags hands a little but it’s still good enough for a win hopefully

 

[yaya jamie]

I’d have had Bernie in for Kev but this team is so adaptable. Bench again is unbelievable.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Apparently Stockport Iniesta carrying an injury......

Hes on the bench

I expected Bernardo and Walker to start. Overall, I’m satisfied with the team but worry about De Bruyne’s influence on Gundogan’s attacking qualities.

If De Bruyne makes lots of stray passes like we’ve seen since his return, we could be in a lot of trouble today.

Bernardo keeps ball well and or lays it off for another player without misplacing a pass and giving opposition

opportunity to transition quickly. KDB either drives forward and gives a wonderful defence splitting pass or

just gives opposition an easy ball back in middle of the park with a first time misplaced or mishit pass.......

I dont think we need all of Kevin's brilliance against this lot. Just need to keep possession, move them around

when we have the ball and press them hard when we don't. We have enough quality forwards to score the goals.

Obvious KDB screamer & x3 assists it is then...........

Hopefully Pep takes him off @ halftime though........

A lot of people are just waiting for the first points to be dropped so they can say I told you so.

Dont be stupid , it is pep and his derby games , how many times has noddy beaten him ?

Bernie treatment reminds me of Jesus. There’s been times when he’s played extremely well for 5 games on the spin but as soon as Kun comes back from injury Jesus would immediately be on the bench all the time. No bedding in period for Kun, no nothing.

Hes on the bench

Slight knock then?
