Will do...

I forgot one thing: Lewandowski has never been a striker that stood out as an outstanding finisher... Just to add that...

About Steeven... We'll have to wait and see - I think he's talented... He's not a winger, but more like a CM... He's got his brother's temper and maybe he'll be our new vidal someday...
But yes, I think he has the talent - we'll see if he's able to bring it to the field as a pro...

Now that Robben's injured, I'm hoping Gotze will get the start to boost his confidence. A lot of people are saying Costa is better on the right, but is that because he's switched to the right later in the game after it has opened up? I'd rather see Gotze on the right or center.

I think the right is Costa's natural position. One option to gain Götze some playtime would probably be to stick him behind Lewandowski, and put Müller on the right.

Personally, I hope for something like this:

-----------Lewa
Costa--Götze--Müller

Pep rarely uses Müller on the right for some reason. I think Götze behind Müller and Lewy on the bench is more likely than Müller on the right and Götze behind Lewy.

Hope to see Coman soon

We cooould go all out and put up a front five like this

My thoughts exactly, we just pull a Saurez-esque Liverpool and score so many goals that it won't matter if we concede

Not even kidding. We wouldn't concede so many either, that backline protected by Vidal and Thiago would be strong. Only problem would width (and even that would be fine on Costa's side, idk on Coman's).

Neither am I, I really liked that 3-2-3-2 we saw occasionally last year. Whenever we put up an attacking front 5 you know we mean business.

I think your 3232/352 lineup is everyone's wet dream in our current situation. But I dont think Pep would be too keen on not starting Xabi or Lahm. More than likely it would be Xabi and Lahm for Thiago and Götze
formation would be something like

I don't think Coman will break into the starting lineup immediately. He'll make 1 or 2 sub appearances and then if he impresses he might be starting til Robben comes back.
maybe after the international break and Götze being in form, Pep would consider Götze more of a starter.

I'm seeing Javi a lot as a starter in people's lineups, but I'd be really surprised if he became a starter in the next month or 2. Even if he's back fully fit physically, he's basically missed 13 months (besides his brief comeback in the spring.)

It'll take him a while to get back to his best and probably longer to see the starting 11.

Yeah, we're walking ideal lineups here, of course. But, IMO, if the board wasn't expecting him to come back well, then our market didn't make sense (because his basically the only player who can play that CB/DM libero position... Maybe Alaba too).

Well, with Robben's injury it'S very likely your wish will be fulfilled against Augsburg already... If he's really the one Guardiola wanted -I think he might even consider starting him - depending on his first few training impressions...
