Wanyama and Dembele will physically dominate whatever midfield we put out.

Kane and Alli will cause no end of problems.

Rose and Walker will raid up and down their respective flanks all day with relentless pace and work ethic.

We'll undoubtedly concede.

I hope Sergio has his shooting boots on.
 
After today, I feel like the season is over. The team and tactics are so messed up we will not beat a top four side this season. Might finish 8th, but a 4-0 dicking at Everton is making my blood boil. Rags will overhaul us and we'll be left in the dust. Get that clown Bravo out now.
 
Not necessarily what I would do but I think pep will go with 3 at the back and 2 wingers to push their full back back.

Bravo
Stones
Otamendi
Kolarov
Yaya
Fernando
Navas
Sterling
Silva
Kdb
Sergio
 
Do-or-die match. As simple as that. And we need to win, not draw. If we lose, I will have severe doubts about Top 4. The outrageous talent in this team convinces me we'll cross the line.

If navas starts then it won't be pretty on here after

If Kolarov starts against one of the quickest teams in the prem league in a back 3 it is suicidal

Does Pep have the balls to drop Bravo???????? Cause he should

Not really the fixture we need after today's debacle. That said, I thought the same about having to face Arsenal the weekend after losing to Leicester and that worked out OK, albeit with Watford sandwiched in between.

Hopefully Jesus will finally be available, and we desperately need some divine inspiration right now.

There is no satisfactory solution to our full back issues, as far as I can see, so maybe Guardiola will revert to a back three now that Kompany is available again. Not that that's been particularly successful either.

Some big calls to be made, and on the basis of today's performance only 3 or 4 should be confident of keeping their places.

This is probably just reactionary nonsense that I'll change my mind about tomorrow, but right now I'd probably go for an attacking 3-4-3 formation.

Bravo (or Caballero)

Stones
Kompany
Otamendi

De Bruyne
Fernando
Toure
Silva

Sterling
Jesus
Sane

A back 3 would be a great way to integrate Kompany without having him too exposed and potentially leading him to covering and injuring himself in last ditch tackles, shame we have no players who can play wing back efficiently.
 
Not sure why anyone would pick Stones or Clichy in any City team, it is like ensuring a goal or two for opposition. Play with back three instead of these two.

I just hope Kompany is somehow 100% and can play a good portion of this game unscathed. I also plead wit Pep to play with 2 actual wingers and have them provide width opposed to the fullbacks

Cometh the hour, cometh the Delph!
 
City will start like an express train and create good chances in the first ten minutes. If they take them they can be out of sight and cruising. Fail to score early and it will settle down to slow pass-pass-pass, then Kane and Del Alli will do the damage. I'll be optimistic, City 3-1.
 
Pep has all week to come up with a plan. has to be different than the shit he's been coming up with for months now. We need pace, pace, and more pace to match these cnts. It's only a few short years since we used to put 4 or 5 past these twice a season. I'd settle for a couple and a clean sheet.
 
Also dreading this game.
Never know which City side will turn up since September.
Barca 3-1, West Ham 5-0, Arsenal 2-1 - or Everton today.
I have a horrid feeling we'll fail to score in the first 20, nerves will take hold all round and we'll be spanked 3 or 4.
 
I would play kompany and caballero, drop,stones and bravo. Spurs will press high and bravo will just end up kicking long so we don't need him for that. Stick in a goalie who might make a save.
