What's up with Kevin, nowhere to be seen

Not fit is what they're saying.

Don't give a fuck, this is funny as fuck

MCFC OK

......................Eddy
Cancelo Dias Laporte Ake Mendy
......Torres....Rodri..... Sterling
............Aguero..,... Jesus...,......

But in game, it would look like this:

.....Dias......... Laporte.........Ake

...........Cancelo......... Rodri..........

Ferran... Aguero...... Sterling......Mendy

...................... Jesus..............

I think thats def a poss. doesn't work otherwise.

It's a back 5 with mendy and cancelo as inverted wing backs slotting into midfield. Expect cancelo to have a lot of the ball tonight as hes more the creative type .

 

[Manciniera]

At first I was a bit shocked with Pep’s selection, but he can switch it up in the 2nd half. Win this game with that lineup would be a huge bonus for us.

 

[Grealish’s Shinpads]

Great move by Pep. Keeping his cards for the final close to his chest.

We can lose this, it won’t matter. If anything it would disadvantage the scousers in the Top 4 race.

All eyes on 29 May.

Can’t wait to see what the formation will play as but we were always going to change for this. Just need to keep everyone healthy and with some kind of form from here on out. Remember that many of our players will have summer play also there’s no sense in getting someone seriously injured through overuse

What's up with Kevin, nowhere to be seen

Had ice pack on hammy after PSG

 

[goalmole]

I’m shocked at that team. Gobsmacked!

Tbh, I expected something like this.
Makes sense on a lot of levels.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Sterling Captain too. I suppose we should applaud your sense of humour Pep.

Scrumpy jack is going down well three more hours and we will be champions drink it in blues.

 

[ballinio]

So we don’t give them a test run ahead of the Champions League final this month

Like they won’t know our team for the final .
Just win the fucking league first , a defeat today would do nobody any good .

 

[Akpowell]

This should be a good watch

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

???? No it doesn't if it doesn't know our strongest lineup he's in the wrong job. Unless we are resting players for the champions league final.

He doesn’t know how his side will deal with our strongest 11. He would have more information to work with if we’d gone full strength today.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Nonsense, he’s a master of it when the pressure is off, this is when he overthinks it, imo!

I think he is saying to these players ‘you want to play in big games? Here is one. Go and win the Premier League for us. Play well and you are in contention for the next big game.’

 

[Manciniera]

Clever one Pep… De railing Liverpool for 4th!

for me that gets pulled all over the shop out of possession-Pep has said many times that Mendy cant play inside (I'm paraphrasing but..)
