Precisely. Mangala hasn't nailed down a spot in the starting XI for City as well. Maybe both managers are slightly apprehensive about changing personnel in their defense just at the moment. Trying to keep things steady for the first few games. I'm certain he will nail down the LB spot sooner or later. It's a matter of when I guess.

I said from the start of the season if anyone was going to be dislodged from the back line it would be Ivanovic due to Luis coming in and Azpi to RB.

I still think that will happen.

Don't think Ivanovic will be slotted back to the CB role just like that.

Terry and Ivanovic haven't been paired up in this season's system and Jose won't do that against City. Also I doubt if he's going to use Luis as well. Probably our usual back four of Ivan-JT-Cahill-Azpi again.

Yeah he said:

1) willian

2) eden

3) schurrle

I thought salah would be in top 3

Many fans were surprised that neither Remy or Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah were named, as both players are known for their blistering pace.

I like their old stuff, they've changed way too much for my liking.

To be fair every band has to keep changing in order to keep up with the times. Their change from Rattle & Hum to Achtung Baby was one of the best decisions they have ever made. I think their new album is a bit underwhelming but then again I have always considered U2 to be so much better live.

Anyways I hope to see him as a nailed-on starter. He was one of the best players vs Schalke imo.

The fully fit issue could be right but if it isn't, like you said, it's bizarre he hasn't started more. We aren't talking a young kid here, we are talking a top quality LB who was sensational for Atletico for a number of seasons and some of their fans actually classed him as their best player.

he admitted in the video posted last page that he arrived here in terrible physical conditions and it was good for him to play twice for Brazil to help him and now 90 minutes against Schalke.

If he starts Sunday I don't see him leaving the team anymore. I also wouldn't be surprised if he started and I'm one breath away from advocating it. He's been fabulous against Schalke imo.

Yeah seen that on Instagram earlier…..great news.

I am a firm believer that once this lad gets his foot in the door he will be a regular starter for us. I see it like this……Two ways…Cahill gets dropped and Brana moves central with JT with Luis going to LB and Azpi to RB or…Brana makes way with Azpi at RB and Luis LB. This lad for me is quality, seen enough of him at Atletico to say that, he's a fucking top class LB and for me will earn his place in this time, just time for me.
