vs Sunderland Starting 11?

[nixmith2]

If Stones is not signed and Kompany not fit then I have not got a clue who will start as the second CB - I think Pep could spring a real surprise

I'm not sure people's views on this: how about Yaya as a CB this season? I think he has played there before, whilst at Barcelona.

I look forward to seeing what response you get to this suggestion.

How mobile does a CB have to be do you think?

I bloody well hope not

I think Yaya with a faster player alongside might work he has lost some pace but he has a footballers brain

Yaya couldn't be arsed tracking runners from midfield last season, he certainly won't be chasing down quick wingers when they get in behind, or when someone is out of position.

 

[nixmith2]

Im just saying, Pep might try it... That's all.

He isn't quick enough.

Doubt it. He tried it at Barca, but how many years ago was that?

Ok, but if Yaya starts as CB vs Sunderland and we win 5:0, remember where you heard it 1st!

I will.

Will you be putting money on it then :)

 

[nixmith2]

I will.

I will have to now! Because 5:0 will be good odds! Did u see the guy last week predicted three! 7:0s in Scotland. £1.60 won him sixty grand! Amazing!

Nobody seems to have included Nasri in there options. I think he still has a lot to offer. Skillful, great ball retention, goals, creativity......

got all those but also a poor attitude. To turn up so overweight on his wages and sent to train on his own is unacceptable to me

I'm excited by the fact that none of us have a clue not only who will be in the starting XI but how we'll set-up.

Hart
Zaba
Otamendi
Mangala
Clichy

[bluemc1]

I'm going against a few on here and don't think he will start with Sterling

Not sure if serious, but I actually wouldn't be that surprised if Delph made the line up. He's played better than I expected in the 2 matches and he has a lot of energy to close down, press and win balls. Of course he doesn't have the ball control of Yaya, but he can cover a lot more ground. I also wouldn't be surprised if a Aleix Garcia made the lineup. He has really impressed me so far. He's like a young Xabi Alonso in the deep lying play maker role and can play out of pressure which would help the CB's along with whoever the keeper is. A midfield 3 with Garcia at the base with Delph and Dinho in front of him wouldn't be too bad.

Deadly serious he's a certain starter, probably the player that his impressed Pep most so far
