Difficult to second guess a Pep side at the nest of times, even more so when players levels of fitness are so under scrutiny due to the workloads and we’re oblivious to which players are close to running in empty.

Would like to see Mendy, Stones, Foden get close to 90 minutes under their belts and for Sergio to get some competitive action in his legs.
 
-------------Ederson
Cancelo-Stones-Garcia-Zinchenko
--------------Doyle
-----Bernardo----Foden
--Sterling--Aguero--Torres

If Aguero is fit.

That's really why City should be doing much better because we do have options and we aren't using them.

I don't want to see Mendy play. He is not good enough, therefore play Zinchenko who also needs games.

I know what you’re saying and I certainly wouldn’t be averse to seeing Zinchenko get the nod. It’s perhaps fanciful to think we’ll ever see the best of Mendy or whether anyone else will, I just feel his best far exceeds that of Zinchenko for what we need in the team right now. Both are questionable when up against a proper right winger, but if Mendy could recapture some of that attacking and powerful prowess down the left-hand side it would help us massively in mixing up our attacks.

Like I say, I appreciate how unlikely this may be but I’d like to retain that hope!

Edit - Just to add to this, if Pep wants his left-back to drop into the middle like Cancelo has been doing, stopping counter-attacks and being an extra body in the middle to recycle the ball, I do think Zinchenko would be the better option.
 
We need to start playing......early goal...convert more chances....had enough of all this 70% possesion and 2 nil down....becoming a joke...Pep needs to sort this out.... never mind buying new players every 5 minutes, get this lot playing..just hope nobody gets injured...Marez and Mendy better start performing or get rid....really unimpressed so far with the league performances, hope these are better.....
