Want to see a strong team in the league at least until we’ve guaranteed second. Raheem looked to be gaining a lot of confidence against Liverpool so would be good to see him continue in that vain.

Harsh to drop Foden but we could do with Bernardo picking up some form for the CL so would like to see him given a start.

Also think it might be wise to rotate the full backs to make sure everyone’s getting game time and is fresh should we need them.

I’m pretty sure that Gundogan started in all 8 league games we’ve lost so far this season.

So did others

Give Garcia a game without Laporte, it’s important he learns to play with different personnel, give Fernandinho a game in his actual position to give some security for a second string back 4. Going forward it’s just a case of full rotation, all those that didn’t start against Liverpool start here, Jesus needs the games and needs a goal can always bring him off after an hour and Foden should be getting as much game time as possible in this form, there’s no need to hold him back right now, doesn’t even matter where he plays as long as he’s on the pitch influencing games.

Bravo played against Liverpool.

The Prince, Phil, Raz, Eric senior, Jesus, Kyle, Bendy on the bench please.

Only this

Only Sterling and Rodri. Gundogan didn't play the home game against United.

My point is we need to sell Sterling ASAP ;)

Really looking forward to this one, as you all know we're so brilliant at home!
Fingers crossed we don't get a right hammering.

Not tempting fate but Southampton have won twice as many away games than home

That's quite something isn't it. Wonder what the record is for % difference between home and away wins.
And to think for years it was always our home results that kept us up!
