Player Valuation: £35m
I’m hoping Pep goes with the two silvas in midfield and Sane Sterling out wide. It’s the formation that even Liverpool couldn’t deal with at the Etihad and it blew United away as soon as they reverted to it on Wednesday. A spanking for Burnley would be a massive statement of intent. Anything else will just leave the media peddling their ‘nervy City scrape win’ stories.
To think as well that City wanted Jorginho and Sanchez also but didn’t get either in a bit of a chaotic summer. Klopp meanwhile has been on a chequebook spree over the last year smashing world records on whatever player he wanted. If Liverpool don’t win it this year you can see City going big in the summer to plug the gaps in holding midfield, full back and maybe even striker. You can’t see Liverpool doing that again without selling first making next season even harder for them to win it against City.
Absolutely baffled that Sane doesn't start every game. Germany leaving him out of the world cup squad was one of the stupidest decisions in football and they got what they deserved. They started him upfront in their most recent game and he made the 'best centre half in the world' look like crap.He came on the other night and completely changed it. Just play him ffs.
