Czechlad Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Presumed best XI: It's not bad, but wow they have a lot of CMs. Silva, Toure, and Fernando don't make the cut. Plus De Bruyne is a much better attacking mid than wing. They also have Sterling and Jesus as good attacking options. Their defense options are thin though. Stones is the only other defender.

Zatman Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 I think David and Bernardo Silva will both start, de Bruyne as well. all about balance though Can also see Pep playing one of his clever midfielder in centre half as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 All that money spent and they are still the inevitable Kompany injury away from the comedy CB pairing of Stones and Otamendi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Given what we saw second half of last season, Gabi Jesus will be starting as centre forward not Aguero. They could still push to get Alexis before the window is out so another added to the mix possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 (edited) Yes Jesus will start. he may go three cbs so Mendy and Walker can be ultra attacking and enabling Aguero to play to. I cant see Silva and De Bruyne playing together in that formation so maybe Silva will be a sub Edited July 27, 2017 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 180 million on full backs and has a attacking midfielder at left back and no surprise he gets exposed all half. Pep philosophy 101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Just now, Zatman said: 180 million on full backs and has a attacking midfielder at left back and no surprise he gets exposed all half. Pep philosophy 101 He still thinks he is a genius who can get away with this bullshit. Not realising this isn't La Liga and that shit will be punished. Time and time again.

Pep philosophy 101 I do agree with you there. Sane as left wing back seems rather dumb. Mendy obviously injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 He also has a midfield 3 with both De Bruyne and Silva. Along with 2 strikers. That to me is arrogance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
