Ederson
Walker Dias Ake Zinchenko
Gundo KDB Bernardo
Jesus Grealish Torres

Take no risks with Foden, Fernandinho or Stones/Laporte with the week from hell coming up. We don't need a true DM versus these. Rest Cancelo today, then Walker midweek.

With Ake in there we'll concede so we'll just have to hope we continue to have our shooting boots on to outscore them....

The problem we have now is defensive midfield. Fernandinho isn't what he was and is often late in the challenge and KDB looks just like he did at the start of last season so I think that midfield would struggle against counter-attacks. I hope Stones or Laporte are fit.

Yep, really don't get the Ake sympathisers you see here and on Twitter. He's been an awful buy, rarely available and when he is not great. Last night was his chance to show what he can do in a 'full strength team' and he was awful. He was bad on all 3 goals. At £41m I genuinely think there's an argument for Mangala being a better signing.

Should we have a 'guess the attendance' sweepstake....just for a laugh like?

If we had an attendance problem, how come we sell out the visitors returns? Once again we'll have a visiting club returning tickets, and they'll get snapped by blues.p

And the Utd fans on here will talk about empty seats and tickets.

Because, whilst it's a shit boring subject, it's still far more interesting than their football

Returned visitor tickets are snapped up quickly by Blues because they are priced right at £30.
 
1835 tickets left exactly as of now. Will be around 1200 this time tomorrow based on last experiences and we normally sell 1k on the day - will be a good Crowd. Pep is a knob and totally pissed off with him. I have still not had a response from the club for my dire experience in the Mancunian on the first home game of the season. Pathetic from them at the start of the season.
 
Could we use gundogan in the DM role for this? We are going to have the ball most of time so it will allow us an extra attacking player in a sense?

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Grealish
Foden
Torres

That was the idea in the CL final and these also will play 5-4-1, albeit not as good as Chelsea
