I think they'll both start along with Sergio on saturdayI don't think de Bruyne being booked helped the tactics as he has been winning the ball back often this season. He had to stop that pressing when he got booked and the game changed from then on although they were on the up at that point.
Ederson hardly had a save to make despite them looking good.
Both them and Shaktar have looked good. Don't think this group has been as easy as predicted when the draw was made!
9/9 - excellent stuff.
11 wins in 12 in all comps! Not much to grumble about with that.
Need to get some more minutes into Gundogan and Silva now so they can get right up to speed.
I share your opinion. But Ferna could have plyed better. He made many mistakes tonight. May be Pep should rest him at the weekendI really enjoy this playing from the back and contrary to many here I think it worked quite well. I just do not understand why are people so nervous about it, it served the purpose and we'll be getting even better. And for me, Dinho had a very good game.
I thought Sterling was more on it & showed more quality than Sane.Thought Sterling vanished for a lot of that game, perhaps he was told to stay out wide ? correct decision to sub him for me he wasn't in the game.
Use of Pepcelona tearm discredits anything you have to say. Pepcelona...really!!!!!!!You asked how would Napoli feel themselves without the ball mate. Was you question answered? :)
Sarri is probably the best positional play coach right now. Watched all their games this season and today's match has only confirmed my impression. I mean, I knew that someone will eventually appear and surpass Guardiola, but never thought that it's going to be a 58 yo former banker with less than 10 years of pro coaching experience...
They've made us look ordinary for most part of the game, and done it with a squad that is probably slightly worse than Arsenal's....Have no words. It's like another generation of Pepcelona football.
