vs Sunderland Starting 11?

Yeah, it's just whether Pep will feel that Sagna is ready, after only returning to training yesterday

He was training and playing regularly until just over 3 weeks ago. If he was out for 3 weeks with an injury in mid season, would it be unusual for him to play a fortnight after returning to training?

Maybe KDB for Nolito and YaYa behind Aguero

A lot of people are going with a 4231, but pep has very seldom used this formation in his 8 year career, so I thinks it's unlikely that'll he'll do it in his 1st competive game with us. It won't stop sky putting us out as a 4231 all season though, even though it isn't.

Dont care who plays as long as we have three points afterwards. Important to get off on the front foot

I'd be surprised if we saw Sane, KDB, or Sagna in the starting lineup for Sunderland. They've only just joined up with the team and it will be less than 2 weeks of preseason preparations for them come next Saturday (holy hell! its coming so fast!). I think our lineup against arsenal this weekend will tell us everything...I wouldn't be surprised if we saw one or more of Adarabioyo, A.Garcia, Zinckenko, or Angelino in the starting lineup against Sunderland. If they start against Arsenal, pen them in next week...

Subject to the friendlies, I'm afraid Bony may be involved.

This seems most likely.

2 weeks will be fine for new players just get them in
I'm not a give up on Sterling person but for now he's still shot mentally for me, the pen miss won't have helped
For me Sane will be absolutely raring to get on and show what he's got and to have Sterling over him at the moment would seem daft
He's 20 years old been active all summer with national team and will have trained with us for 2 weeks
He will piss 90 minutes
Get the lad in
