[Hoghead]

i'll take all that, its the fly goalie I can't be doing with.

You would have thought with all the legs a fly has it could have stopped more shots!

 

[Ric]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sane and Jesus drop to the bench tonight. Wouldn't be my choice though.

 

[abu13]

I can see Jesus being used as a sub after an hour, I am expecting Sane and Sterling to start on the wings though.

Kompany back to the bench along with Willy.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

How do you solve the problem of picking midfield and attacking options from this lot:

Silva, KDB, Yaya, Fernandinho,
Sterling, Aguero, Jesus, Sane?

I would guess at a 433 line up and I’d drop Fernandinho and Jesus. However almost any combination is an incredible attacking force although possibly lacking a bit as a defensive unit.

 

[MCFC1993]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sane and Jesus drop to the bench tonight. Wouldn't be my choice though.

I hope not, I want to see that same front 3 of Sterling, Jesus and Sane; pace, energy and skill, enough to frighten any defence in the league and great to watch.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Important to take advantage of last night's results.
5 nil to us again.

 

[The Blue]

Good old 4-4-2, lets get Kun and Gab building a decent partnership and blitz em.

Caballero
Sagna, Kompany, Ottamendi, Clichy

Sane Toure Silva Sterling

Jesus Aguero

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Sane and Jesus drop to the bench tonight. Wouldn't be my choice though.

I'm worried he might go back to shoe-horning too many central players into the team, like when Gundogan was fit. He might play Fernandinho, Yaya, Silva AND De Bruyne, with De Bruyne out of position again. Please no!

Are you basing that on how we played last time against them? From the way Pep spoke in the press conference yesterday I think he'll do something different tactically to the FA Cup win.

He mentioned Sterling has been playing every 3 days twice in the press conference, and he's started every game since the Leicester defeat so I think he might be in line for rotation.
