[Easy]

Mahrez over Jesus is a strange one and would have preferred Sterling to come on from the bench but otherwise strong team.

They have 2 midfielders as CBs, something to exploit. Maybe that’s why Pep is going with the false 9 to pull them all over the place.

let’s end their title race!!!!!

 

[BringBackSwales]

He's not better than Cancelo

The poster didn’t say he was, I am guessing he is surprised he isn’t on the bench

 

[@BluePhil8]

No striker for the biggest game of the season
Find that staggering

Do you think Henderson and Fabinho have the intelligence to deal with a false 9/fluent interchange with the midfielders? I think we’ll pull them all over the show.

I give up picking our players for fantasy. Fucking Jesus dropped?
So frustrating!

Just pick Dias and Ederson.

 

[Cotswold Knight]

Not happy with the line-up should have started Jesus

 

[Tricky_Trev]

He's not better than Cancelo

It’s more that he’s not better than Zinchenko on the ball. When Walker plays he plays in the back 3 in possession like Zinchenko does when Cancelo is on the other side. The comparison is Walker with Zin, not Cancelo.

 

[Northblue]

Would’ve liked Jesus in there but happy with that overall.

Henderson at cb good for us

 

[doobyedoobye]

This is going to be be a battle royale

 

[Kippax77]

ERRMMM.
Sterling and Mahrez same team?
They better not predictably frustrate today.
This is the biggie

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

You forgot job-avoiding!

Didn’t

Just kept it as simple as could be

So much more to these phlegm spitting twats

 

[bluesclues123]

good line up! proper nervous, gwan lads

 

[CC1]

Mahrez, Zinchenko, Sterling... FFS Pep

yawnnnnnn

 

[Ric]

Where’s Kyle? Is he injured?

“Not fully fit”, apparently.

 

[balotellishaircut]

I would of started Jesus, because of his pressing from the front.

 

[The Black Shed]

We're not losing this one today. I am that confident, but if we do, someone give me a whole site ban for a fortnight.

 

[Infinite blue]

Glad dippers are playing Mane et el. No excuses when we stuff em. 3 0 city.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

The false 9 worked to great effect at Stamford bridge. I think he will employ it in all our big away games

 

[OntarioBlue]

Pretty sure Pep has us top of the league.

Yes, and there‘s a rumour he may have won a trophy or two in his time but clearly some of the folks on this forum know much better than him how to manage.

 

[Utter bobbins]

You have a guy like Zinchenko who can’t defend for his fucking life. You have a Sterling who’s had an awful form for the past 4-5 month, unable to finish pretty much everything coming his way. And then he puts Mahrez in there who is as predictable as a sunrise and pretty much never fights for the ball and run.

This line-up will probably cost us. Unbelievable. Pep never learns.

Have a lie down

 

[Goater=Legend]

Would of played Jesus instead of Mahrez but overall I'm happy with the team
