This has to be an opportunity to rest some 1st teamers and bring in some of the youth or fringe players to get them game time. We are bang in the middle of 7 games in 22 days so you have to consider resting players who have played every game or every game bar knocks and minor injuries. I’d look at who has been playing v’s who needs a game. So first up who has been playing (* might be injured or not 100%)
Hart
Sagna, Kolarov, Mangala*, Kompany*,
Fernandinho, Yaya
Navas, Silva*, Sterling*,
Aguero*,
Who hasn’t played much or EDS players pushing for involvement:
Caballero
Maffeo, Otamendi, MDM,
Fernando, Alex Garcia
Roberts, Manuel Garcia, KDB, Barker
Bony, Nacho,
(I know that’s 13 players but that is the total of what we have left of the first team squad IMO)
I’d play 442 with: Ottamendi, MDM, KDB, Yaya, Bony, Nacho and Kolarov who finished the West Ham game staying in. Debuts for Maffeo and Roberts. Bony and Nacho together upfront:
Caballero
Maffeo, Otamendi, MDM, Kolarov
Roberts, Fernando, Yaya, KDB
Bony, Nacho.
Good post but if you are going to play KDB then he might be wasted on the left in a 4-4-2
Caballero
Maffeo, Otamendi, MDM, Kolarov
Roberts, Fernando, Yaya, KDB, Sterling
Nacho
