Monaco (a) pre-match thread

[Withnail]

I did think about him but I don't really like Kolarov there either. That's the problem position.

Our left backs are poor, neither Clichy or Kolarov fill me with confidence.

I would consider playing Zabba at right back and Sagna on the left

On holiday this week, so have plenty of time to mull over what could happen.
I'm sure if I get too positive about the game, i will have Bluemoon to get me worried.
Seriously hope it's another great game and we have enough to get through.

 

[Sir peace frog]

I defo think weve got 2/3 goals in us for this one

Zaba could wind up in trouble playing 90 minutes against Mendy and Lemar as well tbf. I'd be happiest with Sagna and Kolarov playing, at least it should give us some added aerial ability to combat that long punt that fucked us so badly last time.

Is it just Gilk who's suspended for them?
Is Jemerson any good? my football watching has went so far down hill in the past 18 month I had to Google who would replace Gilk.
That Raggy ****'s a weak link.

Just Glik. Jemerson is a good bit better than Scummi but not as good as Glik.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

You had a heart attack yet at the price of the beer over there?

Err no I've got so phenomenally counted I'm already in bed now how's about dat cash me outside

 

[Arthureros]

Got a horrible feeling Pep is going to drop Aguero..........If it was me I would bring in Dinho for Sterling or de Bruyne

Aguero will play. As will Sterling and Kev. I think Fern will replace Zab at right back and Willy in goal...otherwise same team as Boro.

 

[simon23]

MUEN reporting that Falco picked up an injury.......might not play

But we all know its mind games but their manager.....he will play...we aint that lucky!

In a sense he has a point,as we all know to well,it won't be done and dusted till the ref blows for full time nothing like good heart attack material watching city ;-)

There's no way Fern should play right back against Monaco.

 

[GX Blue]

I think Pep will drop Yaya for this one.... He will want energy I think.
Wouldnt be surprised if he even plays Vinny after how bad we coped defensively with them at ours. He will want the best defenders playing.


Willy

Sagna Kompany(C) Otamendi Clichy

Sane De Bruyne Fernandinho Silva Sterling

Aguero.

No chance, Fernandinho will play centre mid I can see kun being dropped and kdb up top with sane sterling wide

I'd also go with that side but don't think Pep will, I can foresee a back 3 to get Yaya in the middle.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

I think the psychology of the team is as important as the individual players. We have to assume we need a result.

That said I'd play F'dinho in for KDB alongside Yaya in midfield. KDB is not in the best form and the front 4 players pick themselves, drop any of Silva, Sterling, Sane, Aguero and it would give a big psychological boost to them. Sagna and Clichy as full backs.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Can't see Kompany being played. He's been off so long and can't see Pep throwing
him back in for this one. But it is Pep and you never know.
