Pep has abandoned 3 at the back when it didn't work so i hope he doesn't try it in this game,navas would be very useful in pinning back the fullback on that side,his pace both ways would be good

I just think Kolarov and Clichy combined have cost us too many goals over the last season and a half (ten by my count) and until we can get a new LB in I'd like to see some alternative. Kolarov at CB is generally very good but at LB he makes me so nervous.

Agree about aleks,i doubt we are practised enough tojust go 3 at the back,in truth i'm worried we will get a kicking however we set up
 
Willy
Sagna Kompany Otamendi Clichy
Fernando Yaya
Sane KDB Sterling
Kun

Clichy doesn't really deserve a place after yesterday but the thought of Kolarov at left back again is even worse

This, I think it's time to take a risk. Now I think about it Sané would've been the more obvious choice over Delph on that left side.

If we're actually interested in the likes of Rakitic or N'zonzi this window it would be quite useful to get them signed up in time to play Spurs as our midfield cupboard is pretty bare at the moment.

i watched Nzonzi closely v real madrid last night and he was superb.
 
its all about the first goal for me ,,, (or not given pen) ,,we get it and the team /crowd believe again,,, the penny's get it and we r donald ducked,

After yesterday I think we'll get another hammering but I also thought that after Leicester and we beat Arsenal despite being under strength.

Willy

Sagna Otamendi Stones Clichy

Fernando Yaya

Sane De Bruyne Sterling

Aguero

I'm also losing patience with Bravo I'm not going to try defend him anymore. I don't think Silva & De Bruyne in the same side works I believe De Bruyne is best played behind the forward. I'd play the wingers of Sane and Sterling to stop Rose and Walker having a free run down the wings. I hope Fernando is fit if not I'd play Delph I wouldn't put Zaba in Midfield. Hopefully Kompany is back and for me he can replace Stones who for me has been terrible (so far) at City.

Gunna go with my head on this 1 and say win win 2-1 but I wouldn't be surprised at all if we lose.

I agree with the Silva/De Bruyne issue. Not sure which one should miss out though to be honest. Certainly if De Bruyne plays, it has to be behind the striker because he just shits out if every single challenge whereas Silva at least puts his foot in a bit.

My head says we will lose as I have to say Spurs look very good currently and have a record of 21 goals scored and 3 conceded in the last 7 games. However I thought that against Barca and Arsenal too so you never know.

The problem picks are the goalkeeper, whether to play a left back or not and the midfield which will be too slow whoever he plays.

Kompany being back would be a huge boost.

Feel team will be out to prove a point and we win 3-1.

Pep will go for pace on wings

---------------------Willy------------------

(if Kompany not available go with back 3 and get Silva in midfield)
