I think Gundogan deserves a start after his performance against Shakhtar. Same with Mahrez. Also, Bernardo hasn't really been at his usual standards recently either.

Bernardo needs games, he’s really so important to us.

Go on , i will have a stab at the team selection , Ederson + Cancelo , Dinho , Otto , Mendy + Bernardo , KDB , Merlin , Rodri + Jesus , Aguero , ive got it wrong over 100 times on the trot , so relax this will not be the starting eleven.
Just hope we can keep on the shirt tails of the Champions elect.

If that worked with Jesus itd be very good looking forward i reckon

Is Mendy ready to start? I expected possibly 20 mins today and then 60mins at Preston.

Bernardo needs games, he’s really so important to us.

I just think his standards have been lacking recently and Mahrez has started the season off in great form so deserves a run in the team.

What are you basing this on bud?

Did you see him in league cup last season? And he was the reason we didn’t buy kompany’s replacement ... just pick up peps comments on him since last season as well

 

[MAG]

I don't see any good reason why Pep would start Fernandinho and Eric García but not Otamendi?

Because we play every three days and he can’t play fern and otta every game ... and if he uses them two in PL and then play both kids in league cup then that significantly weakens that league cup team ... and Pep isn’t about to “sacrifice” the domestic cups either ...

 

[MAG]

Absolutely zero chance.

So fern and otta would play every three days?

Or is it that Garcia won’t come good, that’s zero chance?
