What do you propose we do at left back John?

Two tricky cup games, hard to know what to do.
Id hate to see us throw away a cup final here so i wouldnt make too many changes over next two games.
Gundo, Mangala, Bravo and Bernardo in and they would be my only changes, so:
Bravo
Walker Otter Mangala Danilo
Gundo Fern Dave Silva
Bernardo Kun(or sterling) Sane

I already got my flight to London and a hotel room booked, so I hope we will actually turn up tomorrow...

We'd better. We don't play until 4pm Sunday so I can't see any need for too many changes other than stubborn-ness.

The League Cup should be the priority and we should put a full strength side out.
Bristol City will sense they have a chance after the first leg.
If Pep wants to make some changes then at least ensure Yaya doesn’t play. I wouldn’t play Gundogan either as his performances this season have on the whole been unimpressive.

They will throw everything they have at us tomorrow though will tire themselves doing it. Please no Yaya.
On another note its the first time I had a drink of Carabao today. As energy drinks go it's nice stuff.

I'd probably prefer Mangala there to be honest, than CB. At least he has a tiny bit of speed if nothing else. But yes buying only one was a cock up
The point is, the worse the players around eg Mangala or Bravo, the more exposed lb is

They promised me that at the very least the City Matchday App radio would be fixed and that I would be able to listen to non biased coverage.

Mangala at Left Back??? He’s a fish out of water at Centre Half?? Positional sense is zero, passing is zero all he’s half decent at is if he’s up against a big lump of a forward he can grapple with....
Zinchenko should be good enough at Left Back next to Otamendi, Stones or Vinny. If Mangala plays centre back then you’ve got to go with Danilo to help him out.

Seems Pep might be sticking with the usual changes, but we need Merlin in the middle with Fern to control possession. Let ya ya come on late in the game 70+ mins if we are a couple of goals ahead because Bristol City will be running their bollocks off.

Why do you say that? Looks like we’re still putting out a team of quality players to me...
