Kova saved for second half

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Walker again....

He really didn't have a lot of choice today, to be fair.

 

[abu13]

Hopefully it will be Nunes pushing to support the midfield rather than Walker

 

[calumdown]

Bernie at left back?? It’s been done before..

perhaps a back 5 when defending?
nunes and bernado as wingbacks?

 

[Claytop]

Hmm.

Gundo & Bernie in the middle with Doku & Foden wide I’m guessing.

Maybe that midfield will click about 10th time lucky…

 

[citizen_maine]

Gundo alone, again.

naturally

 

[cleavers]

that back 4 has no protection whatsoever

No idea where you are seeing a "back 4" there's only 3 defenders in the team.

 

[ninjamonkey]

No kovacic is huge. That's a really poor team. On paper it looks like a side that could go and win 8-6, defensively we are fucked, if they arent scoring at least 3/4 against that lineup they all need sacking on the spot, the question is can we outscore them. The problem is we don't look like scoring at all most of the time never mind getting a hatfull we'll need to win. Might get ugly this. Praying there's a secret pep masterplan to pull a result out and not the same crap we've seen all season with even less defensive cover.

 

[youngbob]

Hoping that's:

Ederson
Walker, Dias, Gvardiol
Gundogan, Nunes
Bernardo, Foden, De Bruyne, Doku
Haaland

Gundogan should be nowhere near this but alas

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

I wonder if it could be a back three with Bernardo and Nunes playing as wing backs who drift inside to help out Gundo. If it isn't something like that then Gundogan is going to just get overrun.
