Just can't see Jose dropping Dele at the moment. I think Dele will have to have at least 4 or 5 more atrocious games on the trot for the possibility of that happening. On this particular issue, i believe Jose has the blinders on and believes he can get the best from Dele. For about three games that was true. Since then, not so much.

Would love Bergwijn to start, think this would be the perfect game for him, especially if Ndombele starts, can't wait to see us play on the counter with those two together

Neither can I unfortunately, I just like to think that if we're going to play with 3 quick attackers and look to break and transition quickly, having Dele in the mix could potentially be detrimental to that game plan. Like you say though it's hard to see Dele being dropped, which is unfortunate for me. If we're worse off I'll be more than happy to hold my hands up and say I'm wrong and that we need him but I can't help but find him a frustrating player.

That team would be fun to watch and hopefully have enough about it to challenge city.
People putting sessegnon in there team, he has been below par so far when used in defence and his confidence looks low, the last thing he needs is to be rinsed by either Mahrez or Bernardo Silva.

No idea if Bergwijn is ready for a start, but I assume we'll sit deep and try to counter so pace up front will be key. Toss up between Dele and Lamela.

Maybe even have Dele as the false 9, flanked by Son (left) and Bergwijn (right).

 

[sammyj]

No more deli in midfield, up top please

 

[ralvy]

At the risk of sounding like an idiot, no way Bergwijn will be starting this match.

Could see that working but if we get pinned back deep there's a real lack of pace up top to get us counter attacking.

True, but my thought process is more that this front three are probably the best pressing combo. Lots of pace to bring on at least.

Think pace up front is our best bet. Ndombele driving forward through their press from deep (did that well against them for Lyon last season).

I know what you mean but I think that's the beauty of having Bergwijn on the bench. Could change the dynamic at the right time after keeping it solid for a while.
