So Emirates Marketing Project and to a lesser degree Liverpool are leading the way. Trying to close the gap who do we need and what do we need to change to do so?
Emirates Marketing Project have 4-3-3/4-2-3-1/4-1-2-3 which is similar to what we do and strongest side is:
----------------------Ederson-----------------------
Walker-Otamendi-LaPorte-Zinchenko
--------DeBruyne-Rodri--Silva-----------
Sterling-----------Aguero----------------Sane

Ours potentially is:
-------------------------Lloris----------------------
Aurier-Alderweireld-Vertonghen-Rose
----------Eriksen-Ndombele-LoCelso-----
Moura---------------Kane-------------------Son

Obviously it's about opinions but on paper(screen) we are not miles apart in quality and now we have good bench options. Thoughts?

We're not half the world way from them...

I think that we need to give KWP a chance to show what he can do. He had a good game last weekend and will benefit from a run in the side. City are the biggest test around but he won't learn anything sat on the bench.

I think the problem is, we've all seen what he tends to do against the best sides (Barca etc.)

Obviously he's had 6 months more training; but I'd be far happier with an established defensive defender, while easing KWP in more against mid-table sides.

He made a mistake vs barcelona
It’s Barcelona away and better players have done much worse
Give the lad a chance
 
Back four is tricky to call at this stage due to fitness of Jan and dier but I'd definitely play 4231...

Sissoko ndombele

Moura winks eriksen

Kane...

I would play winks further forward as he keeps the ball better than lamela... We can't keep conceding possession to Emirates Marketing Project and lamela gives it away too much...

I don't think that you can read too much into performances when he has had six months on the bench between them.

I also don't have huge confidence in the other options, so am inclined to stick with the person who did nothing wrong last game.

I don't get why people are pairing Ndombele and Sissoko at the base of midfield. Ndombele will just get stuck in parts of the pitch where he can do least damage.

Sides that play out from the back, like us, need central midfielders who are comfortable receiving the ball with their back to the opposition and being pressed. That is definitely not Sissoko and wouldn't allow us to get the best out of Ndombele.

Agree, I’d go Winks and NDombele

Agreed. Could see an argument for starting all three to get more physicality, defensive solidity and pace on the break. But that would be at the cost of one more creative player like Eriksen, Lamela or Moura. Not convinced either way on that decision.

The Pochettino approach of being brave, try to play our game would to me be Winks and Ndombele deep in midfield with three more attacking midfielders ahead of them. But wouldn't be against a slightly more defensive and counter attacking line-up with Sissoko in it.

That’s crippled us vs Villa
City’s weakness is their defence so we are better having a go at them as we have seen before

I think our manager is far better, but last season most of our players massively underperformed.

City played to their ability 90% of the time, we didn’t break 25%.

They’ve finished miles ahead of us for two seasons in a row so last season wasn’t a blip. Their manager has won pretty much everything in the domestic game.
 
milo said:
Have we ever lined up like that?

I'd start the same side as last weekend but bring in Eriksen for Sissoko and line up 4-2-3-1.

Can’t say that it’s happened before but imagine having the two wingers stretch City’s backline and get in behind the fullbacks with Alderweireld and Winks spraying the passes to them and switching flanks. Think it could have worked.

Alder has played his entire international career at RB
 
I think there'll be a Son-shaped hole on our left side.

Lloris
Walker-Peters Alderweireld Vertonghen Davies
Winks Ndombele
Moura Eriksen Rose
Kane

Gazzaniga Sánchez Dier Aurier Sissoko Skipp Lamela
