Guardiola's best form of defence has always been keeping the ball and having players who excel at that. Just because you give a cat a bone, doesn't make it a dog. Silva and DeBruyne are playing more deep as City now play with only one recognisable central midfielder with the exclusion of Yaya Toure in their starting lineup. The burden of defensive duties lies solely on Fernandinho as Silva and DeBruyne are more responsible in joining in the attack. Hazard will have a field day with that much free space on the break. Willing to bet anything Delph won't start Saturday.

In a midfield two? Not a fucking chance. However, with Bakayoko and Kante behind him, he would be excellent. Still think our best option against top sides is the 3-5-2. Three mad midfield of Kante, Bakayoko, and Cesc with Morata and Hazard up top. Over priced midfielder in which Monaco got the better end of the deal apparently. Won every game with him on the pitch. Needs to improve on his decision making if there is any flaw, but then again, he is only 22. And mind you, Puyol and Dave are the same height

I'd be tempted to save Cesc for City at the weekend. Atletico are a solid outfit, but reckon we could play them at their own game with a two man midfield. Consider City's predicted lineup, having only Fernandinho as the recognizable 'central midfielder', we should be looking to win. Soak the pressure and expose them on the break.

In response to our upcoming Atletico clash, this was our lineup when we faced them in 2014 Torrres Hazard--------Willian---Azpilicueta Ramires---Luiz Cole----Terry---Cahill---Ivanovic Schwarzer

Seven million...

Azpilicueta 6 games, 4 assists. And a lot of these passes were not side to side 'Mikel' esq. Loads were forward direct passes. Guardiola's wet dream and I hope the club focuses on him long term. Don't want another KDB scenario.

In my Fifa 17 career mode, even the Liverpool AI identifies that their defense is wank. They signed Jonas Hector at LB and Manolas at CB. FIFA AI > Klopp

We aren't a big club

Because we don't want a bad egg disrupting the team? We avoided signing Aurier for the very same reason

Not like Messi needed Neymar to be at his best.

Nothing on 20Legend though Truly incredible

Fusion still lurks about without posting the Greek bus parking hoof to Falcao bellend

Nah, just hoping @Storts to take the bait.

Net spend of only 15 million this summer We are bound to face them in the knockouts should we qualify

Shame. Guess he'll never win a league title.

Mata end of contract in the summer. Let's bring him home.

Think it might be that Ampadu lad

Who is it this time?

Either they may have had complications with the actor, or Gendry suffered greatly from the cold and couldn't make the trip. He wasn't a trained warrior like the others, and don't think he ever embraced the northern cold.

Don't mean to go off topic, but I had a solid Bilbao team. Griezmannn Muniain Herrera----DeMarcos Iturraspe Ibai Gomez---------------------------------------------------------------------Azpilicueta Inigo Martinez-----Laporte-----Javi Martinez Kepa

He thought he had Sansa by the balls, but it backfired. The only criticism I had was not showing Sansa, Bran, and Arya discussing what Littlefinger really is.

I remember in FIFA 14 when I started my Bilbao career. Immediately sold Iraizoz and made Kepa 1st choice GK. Was only rated 68, but he was fantastic. Brought back Javi Martinez and bought Azpilicueta and Inigo Martinez. Those were the days.

In what way were they ruined? Littlefinger can't scheme his way past the three eyed raven and all Vary's cares for is the greater good of the realm? Hence him siding with Dany.

Not convinced at all by Brazil. Reckon they will get spanked by either Germany, France, or Spain

People are fearing it will turn into an Ivanovic situation, where the manager is forcing us to dislike a certain player by continuing to play him no matter how many mistakes he makes as well as the potentially better alternatives we have on the bench.
