.........................Ederson

Muric, Danilo, Laporte, Bernardo, Silva, Fernandinho, Sterling.

No way he plays a midfield of Stones, Foden and Gundogan

Pep likes a 2-3-2-3 that can expand and collapse as needed. Indeed, in this system, you can drop Stones in and pull the full backs in for a “defensive midfield shield” Walker and Delph, for a 3-2, which he also does at times, when Ferna drops in between the back two.

I don’t disagree with your sentiment, but then I think this gives everyone some time in their legs before Chelsea on the weekend, and with the subs on the bench, gives Pep maximum flexibility to rest weary limbs or simply rest as needed.

1 of 3 tricky-ish away games this month (along with Chelsea and Leicester), although we usually do alright here.

After December we'll only have 3 away games left vs the top 10, United, Everton and Bournemouth (if they stick around). Which I think bodes really well. In fairness the scousers don't have many left either but they still have to come to us.

-------------------Ederson
Walker----Stones---Laporte----Delph
----------------Fernandinho
-----------Bernardo-------D.Silva
Sterling----------Jesus---------------Sane

Go strong here and at Chelsea, rotate for Hoffenheim, where we only need a point to top the group.

This is our toughest game of the season so far. All eyes might be on Chelsea, we’re tired, Liverpool put the pressure on with a great win for them, and Watford are either brilliant or shit. If we win this, I’ve no doubt we’ll win the league because I see this as our biggest mentality test so far.

Really worried about this one. Dunno why but i hope we dont drop points. Need to be on it from the start. Their fans will be up for it under the lights with nothing to lose.

Ederson

Walker Kompany Laporte Delph

Fernandinho

Sterling Silva Silva Sane

Jesus

Bring in Komps as Troy Deeney will be up for a fight and long high balls. Perfect for Vinny.

 

[The Riot Club]

Will be a big City win, show the gobshite scouse cünts that whatever they fluke it still won’t be enough to keep up with us.

 

[The blue phantom]

All we can do is keep winning. We’ve a tricky run of games Watford Chelsea Everton are not easy.

True, we'll do well to take maximum points off these 3 games, I'd take 7 points.
