Pep is going to be faced with some real headaches in the coming week's. With Jesus coming in, Fernandinho back from suspension and when Aguero gets fit again he has to pick our best team.
Some really difficult decisions to be made, you can make arguments for so many players to be given a go but I am convinced that we need to give as much time as possible for Sterling, Jesus and Sane to play together.

I'd like to see this side given a go at some point in the future, The concern being the age of the midfield 3.

There is an argument that we could try playing with 3 at the back and Fenandinho and Delph as roaming wing backs.

why would you limit Sane and Sterling by having them as wing backs. Don't thing it would be good defensively or going forward.
 
We're so much better when hitting teams on the break, which obviously doesn't happen much if they are defending deep all the time. I can see us having all the possession as usual and struggling to break them down as usual. Perhaps another Yaya free-kick special to bring home the points?

I thought when we played Fernandhino, Silva, De Bruyne & Gundogan in the middle it all became too congested and slowed down our build up play.

Yeah, i'm with you on that one.

This is where Pep has to earn his money, it's all about keeping the squad happy and fresh without sacrificing consistancy in the set up.
 
Kevin Friend will take charge of #whuvcity on Wednesday night

Cant see Kompany being asked to complete more than 90 mins in a few days so Ottamendi & Kolarov at CH with Sagna and Cliche (through gritted teeth)
Not sure well go all 3 up front early doors although KDB is certain to come in. He might keep Delph in there for legs in midfield along with Yaya and Ferna coming back.
Lots of options for Pep which is great and a really strong bench.
They'll be up for this make no mistake and want revenge for the twatting we gave them in the Cup. They'll be fresh too.
Strange such an alleged little knock is keeping Sergio out for +7 days, is there more to that than meets the eye even if its just something like personal problems?
 
Should be a good game, speaking to a wet spammer mate he reckons they've got 'super' andy carroll and that alone should win them the game. Weren't they calling payet 'super' not so long ago? Ha ha
