This!My concern is less about Martinez not starting, but more about Malacia playing. I fear he will get ripped apart by Mahrez

Yeah feels like a loan moveNot even Pellistri on the bench? What? Is this indicating a loan move? Has he taken a knock?
No. Cant imagine ten Hag will move away from his system. All that has happened is that he's brought in some extra legs with Fred and moved Bruno out wide.4312 by any chance?
I don’t think I saw him on the bench on the United app, glad he is thoughI see garnacho on the bench on the official lineup
Was always going to be his rubbish attempt at mind gamesWhere are these “crazy” tactics that Pep promised? All I see is their strongest line-up.
He said later on that he was joking/being sarcastic.Where are these “crazy” tactics that Pep promised? All I see is their strongest line-up.

Iirc, Unai Emery did something similar a very long time ago. Back when Pep was at Barca and they had Messi/Alves tearing through teams on that side. Worked quite well.A week and a half ago he was partying with Argentina. Shaw and Malacia at LCB and LB will cancel their right side, be it Bernardo or Mahrez.
On the other side you have AWB who we're sure will gonna pocket someone.
The key against Pep's teams is to nullify his flanks and that is what ETH is doing.
Martinez wouls have been bullied and targeted anyway.
Save him for palaceElanga over Pellistri. I question that one.
I felt like this last time we played City and Casemiro was on the benchWhy the feck is Martinez on the bench?
So does ours with Shaw, Malacia and AWB. Not that anyone could keep up with Haaland anywayDamn, their defense has bags of pace.

How very witty of him. Charisma.He said that was a joke
Do City score from corners though?Defending any corners is going to be very nervy
Ten Hag doesn’t take discipline lightly ! Martinez came back too late after the World Cup so he is down the picking order for now. That’s this kind of decision that makes me believe he is the right gaffer long term. No one is above the team. It can be seen as harsh sometimes but it’s really fair.Bench is decent. Martinez for malacia and Shaw out wide would be stronger. Interesting that Martinez not starting
I think so. That or a 4-4-2 diamond. Be interesting to see the shape. I sense he wants Rashford very attacking, but some cover for him in midfield.4312 by any chance?
Yeah that is a huge surprise on the benchMainoo over Iqbal now? Is Iqbal going out on loan? I hope he is..
That's 5 attacking players. Can be good for City or it can be suicidal.That city line up is so strong.
De brunye
Mahrez
Haaland
Foden
Silva
FFS how can we stop them all?
Didnt Haaland score against you on a corner in the 6-3 game?Do City score from corners though?
