So who's up top? Sterling? Foden? Bernardo? Cancelo?

Correct
:-)

 

[Cellarite]

Mahrez could do ok as we’re up against relegation candidates

He was up against a league 2 team on Saturday and still played shit.

I hope not as that invariably means Sterling left and Mahrez on the right and it stops us really getting behind them. I think Sterling Is generally more effective on the right and Foden has played well on the left. Maybe they will swap positions during the game.

We'll find out soon enough though.

Perhaps another opportunity for cancelo to shine given I would agree it will be tough for inverted wingers to get much joy.

 

[Easy]

Happy to see Cancelo keep his spot over Walker. 100% deserved.

Mahrez is the best creator of chances that we have available for selection. In Kev’s absence I’d argue the opposite.. he does deserve to be on the pitch. By virtue of the creativity he has shown regularly this season. He can play fairly quietly but still put 2 chances on a plate. We need that without KDB.

Bernado, Foden...Gundogan?

Mahrez has been gash most of the season

Only just realised, Saints are playing Arsenal at the same time. I might watch that instead; don't fancy seeing City lose tonight. Anyone join me?

 

[Postman Pep]

I'm guessing Phil plays the false 9?

Surely the idea of the false 9 is to confuse both the opposition and tactical analysts into thinking that somebody plays it?

agree with that

 

[domalino]

is that right. Sterling had months to get his form back

Bernardo had 2 years.

I agree. And Mahrez deserves to keep his place after his performance at Cheltenham.
