vs Sunderland Starting 11?

[abellwillring]

I think it's just about impossible to guess until we see what he lines up with against Arsenal. That will probably be close to the team he starts. I am very curious who will make up the attackers outside of Aguero -- I think he is probably the only one who can be certain he'll play every game where he's healthy (maybe KDB as well). Pep is going to rotate the others quite a bit.

 

[Kompany is King]

Hart
Sagna
Otamendi
Stones (Denayer)
Angelino

Fernandinho
De Bruyne
Silva
Nolito
Sane

Aguero

Given that Sunderland are unlikely to attack much I say give Angelino his league debut.if no Stones play Denayer, working on basis Kompany unfit.

Upcoming friendlies v St. Johnstone & Arsenal will help to give better indication.

Really looking forward to the new season.

If no one gets injured, then I'd say only Clichy, Otamendi, Fernandinho and Aguero seem as certain starters (probably Hart as well, but fuck knows?) so far. Which makes it all the more exciting for me. :)

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?

Fair point.

Just think that there is as much chance as KDB starting, yet many leave him out of their team for Sunderland.

I'm absolutely certain Stones will not be in the starting 11 against Sunderland. I'll bet money on it.

looks a little weird but seems pep-esque enough to me. think de bruyne wide would be a good bet this season if pep can coach the tactics into him. he's just got such amazing delivery. another option would be slide him central, yaya to the bench, zaba at rwb. then it's basically a 433 in defense and 343 in attack. clich ota sagna/mang zaba.. dinho holding in attack, to quarterback and prevent counters... idk it's really impossible to know what pep's plans will end up being. think he play with it for a while tbh. we have a lot of options

All these lineups are doing my head in.
So stupid.

Hopefully we win 3-0,4-0 with a line line up know one has thought of and we think ......
