[Silva_Spell]

I'd put Gundo on for GJ.
More numbers in the middle
KDB towards the right for some whipped crosses and less need for Walker to leave space for Bernard

Aguero
Sane Silva De Bruyne
Gundo Dinho

Walker need some help down right side, imo we need to replace aguero or Jesus with Bernardo or gundogan

Too slow again at home. Can see us going out the blocks in the second half and kill the game off because we've had chances

So have they -

 

[Josh_D]

Gundogan on for silva or kdb

KDB stays on for me. He's played some beautiful passes forward. Silva hasn't looked 'at it'. Maybe a bollocking at the break will wake them all up

 

[SamBlue]

Our 'through ball' game is not good and still we should be 2:0 up. Expect much better return in the second half. Feel positive.

 

[TravisBickle]

Is it me or has Delph looked better than Walker?

My grandad looks better then Walker!!

 

[SebastianBlue]

My 12 year old would outclass Walker today

Sniff sniff.

 

[Gabriel]

When we press high up the pitch, as we managed for the first 20 minutes, we can pen them in and force mistakes, but when they've sprung us, Silva and de Bruyne have had to do the hard yards, and that then makes them less keen on repeating the press. Bit of a Catch 22, and the first goal could be decisive.

 

[Ballymagash Blue]

First time this season the defence has been really tested. i think they've done well. And we look dangerous every time we go forward. Don't think their high line will hold.

 

[Bluep*ss]

Gundogan could be the key here - at least he won't get kicked like at WBA
