Should mention his starting on the left is with Tomi behind him not Zinny or Kivvy.

Tough call. I'm loathe to leave out Martinelli but he's also been pretty poor since coming back.

i'd agree probably, Jesus on the left Havertz through the middle, or if Tomi can start then play Marti on the left.

Like the idea of having Martinelli and Trossard coming off the bench - both have proved effective off the bench.

Total neutral, but Jesus is a funny one. No doubt he’s a talented footballer, but what is he? To me he doesn’t really have a standout position. He can be good, but not great, in a number of forward positions … not sure that’s enough at the very top level, to win you the big titles. Havertz has similar issues IMO.

Jesus is a 5 a side footballer I'd say. Like has moments of brilliance, quite good in tight areas and calm in the box but yeah you see why City sold him, doesn't really suit any particular position enough.

Havertz is kind of the opposite, would be awful at 5 a side. He's a clever player with his movement and surprisingly strong, but just not very good at passing, shooting or dribbling! Bit of a jack of all trades though so has been useful enough

Agree with most of what the OP said but I would start Martinelli left. Trossard is a better option from the bench than Martinelli.

I'd have Jesus on the bench. I would still start Martinelli. Jesus and Trossard to come on in the 2nd half if needed!

‘..should start on the left, with Havertz up front.’

Agreed.
