CL - Marseille (A) | Pre-Match Thread

I guess we developed a 200 mil academy who have FIT players who have impressed every time they've played just to make a Jadon Sancho 2.0 for another club.

It would be a big call to give Doyle a start but sometimes you have to drop them in at the deep end.

Throw delap in while were at it, squad rotation and all that

Ferran and Foden on the left. This seems like a no-brainer partnership to foster.
Cancelo and Bernardo on the right. They literally play together for Portugal this should obviously be fostered.

The duality of having a left and right footed player on both sides is very useful.

KdB or Gundogan in between Foden and Bernardo. Can even play both with KdB as a false 9 until Jesus is back and we would absolutely dominate the midfield with Gundogan, Bernie, Foden and KdB.

Switch something Pep, this would be my thought. Gives Sterling and Mahrez rest, and Cancelo RW is a very interesting idea to me.

fully capable of winning this but I fear we’ll have another pragmatic team selection

 

[r.soleofsalford]

I have not confidence in Pep picking the correct team out of our remaining fit players to win this game.

 

[Gray]

I am expecting another struggle, the team is just not right at this moment in time.

It is a champs league game so let see a pep experiment for a giggle

I predict he will go 3 at the back with cancello RWB and chenko LWB gundo as holding play maker kev and Phil tucked in as AM with bernie and torres as two false No9s

Eddie
Walker Diaz Laporte
Cancello Zivchenko
Gundogan
Kevin Foden
Bernardo Torres



Well I don't really it will be similar to todays team with foden in for sergio I expect

But it is Pep after all and he loves to mix it up in this competition ;-)

KDB as false 9 seems our best option as Sterling certainly isn’t the man to do it. My worry would be losing kevs creativity in the middle of the pitch.
Agree on all your points

Sadly think pep will go with that team
