Klopp clearly doesn't rate our chances listening to Sky serious sense of humour failure after being reminded of EFL cup result.Could be a long afternoon if we concede early.Hope I am proven wrong.

Not sure it has to be an either/or situation.Remember the Atletico home game when Chilwell came on for the second half overlapping with Fuchs with a back three.Looked good as I remember but we seem stuck with 4 4 2 these days.Rate both players need Chilwell's energy and wing play and Fuch's ability to keep crosses out whilst able to deliver good set pieces and long throws.

Kelechi hobbling a bit but has played well .George Thomas has been excellent.Not sure about our centre backs

Such a shame overall the atmosphere has been great and the Atletico fans have been a credit to their club as have 99% of City fans

Benny looked more comfortable in possession than Morgan or Huth and sprayed the ball around and although it did not always work he did look promising.Several times his positional sense and composure was very good. Stoke may not have been particularly threatening but he blended in well.He is also fairly quick so no rush to replace or sell him which had looked on the cards at one time

I am sure I read an article from a coach from CSKA saying that he scores a lot more goals playing in the middle.Agree also that he seems to do better when he knows he is the main man as also happened in the second half of that pre-season game vs Barcelona.Personally I think we have better options on the wings.
