That would probably be my team too. Also have the same hesitation between Gundogan and KDB but also not sure on Foden or Mahrez for the right side. Will be interesting to see what we go with.

Champions League game I'll always go with Mahrez on the right side! Foden needs a little bit more time to come back to his form.

Can't wait for Pep to play Bernardo at LB.

The thoughts of Werner and Nkunku on the break against our shit defense and Ederson scares me.

Ake is going to be involved this time. Haaland is going to be involved

Really don't know what to expect from us anymore...
Just hope...

Pretty much my feelings. Complete Jekyll and Hyde team just now

Why drop Jack?

The only people dropping Jack for Phil on LW at this point are Foden fanboys more bothered about their boy playing than the team winning. The facts since the WC don't support any other conclusion.

Going to be a tough game this so we need to be fully focused. They had another good win yesterday 3-0 away at a team with a good goals against record until this game. 16 attempts yesterday away from home.

Despite the crap result yesterday, we are at least playing a bit better than we were though so hopefully we will do enough over 2 legs.

Has anyone watched much of Leipzig? If they counter a lot I would play Ortega for his shot stopping over Ederson. I know people go nuts when you criticise the later. He has not played well for some time, distribution has also regressed. The build up from the back is deemed more important but at the min we are getting caught out with 1 shot. Won’t happen but maybe it’s time he got a few games rest and chance to find form/hunger.

I have watched them briefly and they were dynamic and full of pace. It is not an easy draw in my opinion.

I’m certain we’ll win. They’re not gonna park the bus like a prem team. We like that. It’s a welcome break from the slog of the day to day.

So prior to this thats been fine ? ;-)
Just in case I know where you're coming from

Yes. I liked the numerous chances that were created against Forest. It was a much needed change from the boring football, and reminiscent of 2017-19 side. If only we had scored another goal, I think Pep would've changed it to a regular back 4.
