I can't imagine for one moment Pep will take his foot of the gas and allow the season to end with any unnecessary losses. I also think it would be a very brave player to even insinuate to Pep that he can't give 100% because of the impending World Cup.. imo

100% right. Also why would Pep give a fuck about a World Cup.

Because his players do, and secondly because easing his players playing time now might prevent muscle injuries when they are at the w/c which would effect their pre seasons. He'll take a bigger picture view besides giving DeBruyne , Silva, Walker the some minutes e off shouldn't hurt too much against the teams we have left.
 
No excuse not to go with the strongest available line-up. 100 points and the goal record to aim for, so hoping Pep and the players really go for it.

If we have a comfortable lead in any of the remaining games it would be a good opportunity to give Fodem and Diaz more game time but I hope they do all they can to ensure the title win looks as emphatic as it has been when the final table is published.
 
I wonder if the club are going and try and repeat the atmosphere from the Liverpool game with the flags and pre-match Hey Jude etc. It feels more appropriate to do it now than wait for he trophy presentation at the Huddersfield game. Maybe for once rather than naming the teams for the third time they can just play Bluemoon prior to kickoff as the players do the handshakes.
 
dont see a problem with making some changes tbh. maybe give foden or diaz a start. they arent going to make us weaker/lose.
 
Pep said he regretted taking the foot off the gas after winning early with bayern so i think he will keep going strong plus we owe it to the teams we play to keep it honest,maybe if when we play west ham and they need a point to stay up we might be kind to joe and zabba
 
If we are to be given a guard of honour then strongest team available please, let them enjoy the moment.

Pep’s more likely to get better performances from those players who are desperate to secure wc places and need games. So, for example, playing stones and Laporte in 3 games, vinny and otamendi in 2 will keep the players happy and probably help us break the records.
 
Resting players now will benefit the team next year. Not saying that's what I want but could be Pep's thinking.
 
Just one thought guys , - Swans are fighting against Relegation - so they will be "at us " - trying for point (s).
 
Ederson
Danilo
Otamendi
Stones
Delph
Gundogan
De Bruyne
Foden
Bernardo
Jesus
Sané

Bravo, Kompany, Sterling, Walker, Zinchenko, Touré, Díaz

4-0
 
I hope that Diaz, Foden & Nmecha get some minutes under their belts now. It is a great opportunity for them to gain some proper premier league experience.
 
Strongest team please , lets get a few goals on the board and then introduce the likes of Foden and Diaz ,and lets break every record going , no matter what the media pundits say this is the best Premier League side ever produced , Pep has revolutionised the game in this country to the extent that even Southgate is copying our tactics for the national team , just a shame most of the England players are technically shite. Having witnessed the 99 Rag side and Goons Invincibles neither are as good as this City team , and due to the average age of the squad the longevity of this teams success will not be in doubt. MCFC ruining football since 2009 and beyond.
 
“We’re looking forward to the celebrations, but first we have five important games to play and we want to win them all. Then we can think about the World Cup and next season.

“But for now, let’s enjoy the moment together with our fans and finish strongly.”

Says Sergio.

Think Pep will continue to go strong but we’ll see more game time for Foden and Diaz. Maybe even some starts with full strength plus Foden or full strength plus Diaz for example.
 
Might play people who are short of the required games to get a winners medal.
