I thought VVD was gonna be a real fantasy option due to goal threat but for 5.5 and my WC incoming he may go

You'll be sorry when he starts firing in those set pieces.

Alonso is LWB as normal. Chelsea are playing 3-4-2-1, they did it a lot last season.

He won’t be rested, no one else can play the position with Kenedy gone on loan.

I'd add Azpi as ewll, in fact I'd probably edge it towards Azpi because of his ability going forward

I'd add Cedric to that conversation.

No particular reason

Sterling up front
The opposite of what I needed
Feck it

After Zappacosta was brought down on the edge of the box, Marcos Alonso steps up and strokes in his free kick for our third. 3-0. #CFC https://t.co/wVIRWca7N8

I’ve done very very tough calls to make now
I think I can afford Alonso Sanchez and Vardy aguero without weakening team too much but not Alonso Sanchez firmino and Kane

If I’m going aguero route may as well make that my FT this week and risk it with no subs .....

Blessed Alonso decided to put this performance in a cup game, that would have been 18 points for him, and I still don't have him!

SlickRic

Alonso, this is fúcking pointless.

siblers

Poor old KDB will be exhausted for the World Cup, he must have played more minutes this season that any other outfield player in Europe!

SlickRic

KDB and Sterling goals.

km79

Alonso and sterling
What a day this has not been

sheroman01

Aguero on for Sane.....

Seems ominous that Sterling will be rested midweek

He was rested last midweek. He will start on Wednesday.

pimpmyhat

I was hoping aguero wouldn't come on today

Iused2likebusts

Don't think there is any chance sterling gets rested midweek. A chance he could get rested against Burnley maybe. Bernardo Silva is the player he would be rested for and he has played the last 2.

Why was Sanè subbed?

Horror tackle by Joe Bennett. Ran it off but Pep didn't take any chances I'd say.

Pep Guardiola says Leroy Sane is out for 'a while' with an ankle injury. Could be a month.

Looked like ligaments to me
