Spot on! and like i said if someone like Stones gets a niggle tonight who is playing in that back 4 in our biggest game of season to date on Sat? Baffling not to sign a top centre half when prepared to spend 60m on Sanchez.

But at least it won't be Johhny Fucking Evans. The saying 'anything is better than nothing' doesn't actually hold true in that case.

Judging by Walker being tried at cb v Palace, Pep has not been over impressed by Mangala so far.

Be interesting to see what happens tonight, in the event we manage to get a few goals. See if he tries anything out at the back.

Who is impressed by Mangala ? He was first out of the door when Pep got here, he didn't even get to train so that decision was made early. hey tried to sell him this season rather than loan so put him in shop window and it backfired. It is astounding he is still at the club, so far short of whats needed and he can't be trusted in any of the bigger games.

It's being reported that Mendy going to Barca for scans amid fears injury could be a bad one ? If so we could be one injury away from a crisis at the back!

Would be rather strange if true, re Mendy.

He was stood watching the game at the end on Saturday. I expected to see him in the squad.
 
I'm going to go for,

--------------------------- Ederson---------------------------
----------------Stones---------------Ottomendi------------
Walker------------------------------------------------Danilo
--------------------------Fenandinho------------------------
---------------Silva------------------------KDB--------------
----Sterling--------------Aguero-------------------Jesus--

Much like him, i'm not sure a Pep team is capable of parking the bus.
 
Do Shakhtar rate themselves highly enough to avoid bus parking exercises? What do people think about this?
 
City need to be wary of SD, they put one over on Napoli in their own back yard, and defended well then hit on the break.
We should have enough in theory to secure a straightforward and comfortable enough win, but that was the thinking before the Everton game too, before things took a turn with the Walker sending off, and as we well know CL ref's can be somewhat erratic and over zealous with cards!

I suspect that was more about trying Delph at left back than Walker at Centre Half!
