No but they press like maniacs and we won’t get through them with two sitting deep plus gundogan panics when effectively pressed.

spot on

 

[discopop]

Apart from Del Boy and Rodders in midfield I like it, best to see what Garcia and Phil have got against a very good team. Nice to see Tommy get a bench spot.

 

[Mr HJ]

Good looking team and nice to see Garcia and Foden back in - a glimpse of the near future perhaps. I'm surprised that Bernardo isn't in because of his constant movement and I hope he doesn't want to move on as I believe there are one or two big teams sniffing about if he decides to leave. Trust Pep on that though - 3-1 would do nicely thanks lads.

horrible midfield duo plus mendy

lots of sideways passing till we lose possession and their midfield and forwards leave Gundogan and Rodri in their wake breaking at will onto our back 4 (3 probably cause Mendy will be playing catch up somewhere around the halfway line!)

Some “blues” really piss me off sometimes.
Get a fucking grip FFS.

I agree with not liking Gundy in these sort of games but rodders doesn't need to be fast,just in the right place,dinho is the only fast one we have had for yonks and nobody should be compared to him as a bald Irish women once sung

Feel nothing about this game either way,my goal celebrations have been very quiet since the restart

Good to see Eric and son and Phil

COME ON BLUEBOYS

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

If Rodri and Gundogan are both playing that means Gundo will be playing futher forward to win the ball , and that is not his best position , where as Bernardo will run and harrass all night long , that looks like a team settling for a draw ,hope i am wrong.

 

[gkmcfc]

Ederson
Walker
Garcia
Laporte
Mendy
Rodri
Gundo
KDB
Foden
Stirling
Jesus

 

[kaz7]

Hmm not sure about that
Throwing Garcia into the lions den when you have stones and otamendi in.
Midfield looks very pedestrian.

Top wumming

 

[BringBackSwales]

And you've started whinging already like the pompous fud you are

Whinging about the whingers is definitely better than whinging in the first place, like the whinging tart you are

 

[br88]

Would like to have seen Mahrez running at their full backs...he would scare TAA to death...don't rate him defensively.

Mandy will pressed into many mistakes

 

[SebastianBlue]

Pep has sent one of the coaches in to the dressing room to replace Eddie’s keeper gloves with extra-padded boxing gloves.

 

[BringBackSwales]

are you surprised -they smell blood and want to make a statement - and they probably will

Oh shut the fucking fuck up Simon, you miserable fucker

 

[bluemoon32]

To be fair, he needs to start playing like he deserves a starting spot.

Exactly, at this moment in time he's not the player we are used to seeing

 

[pavelsrnicek]

It’s good to see Foden and Garcia but I have real concerns that Gundogan and Rodri are playing together. When they play together we’re slower in the build up and lack goal threat. I’m sure Pep knows best but they don’t fill me with confidence.

 

[The Future is Blue]

Sly just shown the players arriving at the ground. It's good to see the opposition players strolling along in the early evening Manchester sunshine with not a care in the world rather than having to avoid a hail of bottles and red flares which is the normal welcome at these events!

 

[simon23]

Oh shut the fucking fuck up Simon, you miserable fucker

Hahaha - you have no idea

 

[Mr HJ]

Gundo and Rodri together is a bit of a worry. I'd have Gundo holding with Bernardo with Kev in middle.

I guess the thinking is Rodri has the height, physical presence and not afraid to stick a foot in against that big lump in their midfield and Gundo always seems to play well against a Klopp team - perhaps from his Dortmund days. One of these will be MOM tonight just to prove a few fans wrong Ha! Miss prime Bernardo though but he will be on in the second half.

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Anyone else think there’s a funky formation coming? Maybe Jesus on the left as a wide striker & do a number on Robertson ,Raz on the right occupying Trent and Phil providing a bit of penetration through the middle & putting the squeeze on Van Dijk

 

[Dazzle84]

All the moaning about the team - our two best prospects in years are starting against the champions - a lesson for them in having to clap them lot onto the pitch too. The season is gone, build for the future
