------------------ Ederson ----------------
Walker Stones Dias Zinchenko
--- Bernardo Rodri Gundogan ---
KDB --------- Aguero -------- Torres

I'd start the same as against Everton, to prove that they can improve, but I'd play our most important player in the center, Bernardo (leaving Mahrez out and Fernandinho out for Rodri unless he can play so soon again).

2 from Foden, Jesus, Mahrez or Sterling to come on later in the game to change things. Hopefully by then the team has done a lot better as a unit than yesterday.

Id leave gundogan out as he looked absolutely knackered all game.maybe bernardo there foden right mid

 

[SWP's back]

Aguero might start again in my opinion. I think this is how we will play:

Ederson
Cancelo
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko
Rodri
Kev
Sterling
Bernardo
Foden
Aguero

Gundogan, Walker, Jesus Rested for Man United

I hope he doesn’t, I really want us to score early and get in control. Let him have 20-30 wins if we’re coasting. He’s no where near sharp enough yet to start.

 

[ysmsa]

Food for thought: Could we become the first team in the Premier League history to win the League before the League Cup?

I've got an even better one.
What if rags/Leicester or whoever are 2nd at the time of the Cup final lose on Cup final day to hand us the title.
We could win 2 trophies on 1 day.

That would be superbia

Sun is shinning all over Manc Land,Spring is in the air.

No matter what todays results we will still be 10 points clear.

Life is good.

Now where is my Cnut of a Rag nieghbour................

 

[LongsightM13]

As a full back no less

Still not as good as the guy who seriously argued we should sign Dan James, united’s reserve right winger, as a left back

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Ederson

Walker
Dias
Stones
Cancelo

Rodri
Bernardo
Foden

Mahrez
Kdb
Sterling

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

I can't understand why some select Cancelo at LB when Zinchenko is in great form.

Since Laporte has returned from his injury (following the time out as punishment for his mistake against Spurs), Pep has been rotating the three and each plays two games and then sits one out.

These were February games ... and the central defenders played in them:

West Ham - Dias + Stones
Gladbach - Dias + Laporte
Arsenal - Dias + Stones
Everton - Dias + Laporte
Spurs - Stones + Laporte
Swansea - Garcia + Laporte
Liverpool - Dias + Stones
Burnley - Dias + Stones

Looking at that ... I think this is who will play next three:

Wolves - Stones + Laporte
United - Dias + Laporte
Southampton - Dias - Stones

Pep might change the games a bit and Stones-Dias may play the derby together but it's very likely that one of them is sitting Wolves out and Laporte coming in ...
