Is Sagna fit? If so, would start him and Clichy at full back, with Stones and Otamendi at CB and Caballero in goal.
The rest of the team pretty much picks itself until we get the likes of Kompany, Gundogan, Sane fit to play.

Not sure. On physio room it has Kelechi as fit for tomorrow, and Sagna/Kompany/Sane/Gundogan for Sept 10 (swamp)I'll take 1:0 and some decent fluent football. Our closing down has been a joy to watch. Sorry if it's been answered but any news on gundogan and sane? C'mon city!!

We were stitched up, coming out last of the 8 teams in our pot is fine, luck of the draw and all that, but its very bloody strange coincidence it then happened for the next two bowls as well, the odds must be quite long for that, and amazingly we got the hardest group of all, again.He didn't sound overly impressed with structure of the draw. Almost an inference that it was deliberate.
There is a certainly a common feeling within the club that we are being persistently stitched.

Pep said yesterday that everyone is fit, and that 30 players trained yesterday, he doesn't seem like a bullshitter to me.Not sure. On physio room it has Kelechi as fit for tomorrow, and Sagna/Kompany/Sane/Gundogan for Sept 10 (swamp)

Maybe fit to train, as opposed to fit to play?

Coincidences are, by definition, strange. As for the hardest group? Not sure how you arrive at that conclusion. Due to the congestion of teams in pots 1 and 2 from Germany, Spain and England, we were always very likely to get Barca, Madrid or Munich from pot 1. We then drew the lowest ranked team in pot 3 (who we beat home and away last season, with no plan and an apparent no-mark for a manager) and Celtic. It's really not the end of the world.We were stitched up, coming out last of the 8 teams in our pot is fine, luck of the draw and all that, but its very bloody strange coincidence it then happened for the next two bowls as well, the odds must be quite long for that, and amazingly we got the hardest group of all, again.
Rail against the intricacies of the draw and its asinine rules by all means. Personally, I would keep the pots but remove the 'teams playing each other from the same countries' rule. What's wrong with a group of Leicester, City/Arsenal, Spurs and Pot 4? Or Bayern, Dortmund, Borussia and Pot 4?
If you think the draws are bad now wait until there are guaranteed to be 16 teams from Spain, Germany, England and Italy.
