Happy with that XI. Pleased that Torres has been rewarded for his decent performances of late and probably gives us a bit more fluidity in terms of interchanging positions with those three up front. Thought he might go for more energy and defensive ethic in that position with either Bernardo or Foden, didn’t expect Mahrez to be completely left out.

Really don’t have a problem with Rodri and Gundogan starting, it gives us more of a shield to build our attacks from.

Gees, looks like we may see a goal or two. Maybe bordering on a Keegan special.

Anyway, I tell ya what. I'd love it. LOVE IT, if we beat them.

Rhodri and Gundog in midfield, Pep obviously not intending a high tempo pressing game then. lol.

That front "4" of theirs worries me to shit ... especially that diving twat !!

if I was a dippers fan I would looking at that line up and scratching my head wondering why we were going to the Etihad without a midfield.

 

[argyle]

They're just going to rely on us making a bad pass, lobbing over Gundogan and Rodri to their front 4.

This is going to be very difficult.

Sorry to correct your English, it's actually "especially them diving twats". Plural.

especially those diving twats

having Jesus and Torres will help from the front.

Completely agree with all of this.
Torres deserves his spot.
Foden can run at them late on.
We don't need to win it in the first 20 minutes, although that would be very nice!!
