    I think we'll see Son playing furthest forward, Moura and Bergwijn widest and Lamela the deepest of the four.
    The other alternative is Son and Moura as some sort of strike pairing and the others out wide cutting in.

    Which of the two Sons did you mean to be Lucas?

    City have just won a record 15 matches in a row with neither of their 'strikers' featuring much. And any definition of striker that includes Gabriel Jesus must include Son and Bergwijn and probably Lucas and Bale too.

    Digne up against Doherty is a terrifying prospect.

    Bergwijn, Lucas, lamela AND Son? Aren't they effectively all wingers?

    They also have someone with a shirt number of 62, so I guess their depth isn't great with the injuries they've got.
    They loaned out a bunch of players in the window, including Tosun, Gordon and Kenny.
    Onyango's a 17-year-old midfielder, who has played a lot in their U23s, so I assume he's good.

    Sterling, Foden, De Bruyne and Gundogan are vastly superior players to Bergwijn, Lucas, Lamela and Ndombele.

    Neither. Son's just going to play everywhere. <whistle>

    And that's forgetting Mahrez and Bernardo too.

    I do wonder why in a match like this, why Tanganga isn't given a chance.

    Also, good to see the decision to block Tanganga's loan move is paying off. He'll develop well just like KWP.

    Jesus is just a striker. It's his main position and he very rarely plays anywhere else.
    He's played in most of those games and Sterling has replaced him when he's absent, from what I've seen.
    We also don't have £50m players in every single position and on the bench.

    because player for player they can easily beat us.
    Gylfi has vast experience .
    They have two quality free-kick specialists.
    They have a proper striker.
    They have a diver.

    With all due respect, City are playing with superior players in almost every position. Without Kane we have looked utter clueless against Premier league sides.
    Again, I hope I am wrong but this reminds me of him playing Vorm in last years 5th round to everyone's amazement.
