Gudongan! Hahaha.

 

[youngbob]

Ake is injured

Thought he'd be fit again. Oops.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Thought he'd be fit again. Oops.

I'd play Stones at right back and Fernandinho at centre half

 

[super_city_si]

I also think we'll go pretty strong. We haven't had the league cup so had a couple of weeks of one game a week and we dont play until Monday night.

Jesus, zinchenko, Sterling and Dinho should be definite. I'd play Grealish too to keep him ticking over.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Gudongan! Hahaha.

Don't know why it keeps putting that just gonna put Mr whippy from now on

 

[alexmcity]

Delap and McAtee won't start vs Sporting, imo. Palmer may start, if he is ready. Pep will go stronger than expected. Palace is 5 days later, there's enough time to recover. The players had a winter break a month ago, fatigue is not a problem. If anything, some players need more minutes to hit top form.

 

[mat]

Fernandinho in at CB ..and a sprinkling of youth players Mcatee,delap for starters ..

That was my thought too.

Bit Awks for Pep in a good way, if we play with a striker and he gets a couple.

 

[bluevalley]

Only three games left before international break, so schedule is not that busy, I doubt there will be any academy players, I expect a strong side to keep everyone sharp. Obviously Sterling Jesus Zinc Gundo Fern will all start.

 

[PepGuardiola]

Asda is free for 4 hours, i think

What if I parked over 4 hours?? Will be charged or what will Asda do

 

[frothy]

Why would you want more than 4 hours? But you would get a fine after that, have you looked at Park on my drive website, all under a Tenner and not far from the ground

I arrived at the stadium 2 hours before the derby game yesterday… and I parked at Asda :/

Pretty sure extra time unlikely. Hope I’ve not jinxed it now

 

[Zabaleta5]

Ederson
Cancelo
Stones
Laporte
Zinchenko
Gundogan
Fernandinho
Foden
Sterling
Jesus
Grealish

 

[Theo555]

We probably need to rest stones and/or laporte In case of injury

Fernandinho at CB?
Zinc for cancelo

 

[zandvoort blue]

Honestly, I'd play Fernandinho there. The risk of Cancelo being booked with no Walker for the 1st Leg of the next round is just too big IMO when we are 5-0 up.

Correct, Cancelo can not be risked.

 

[Tbilisi]

Wonder how many they will bring?

Probably jack shit as normal.

 

[Withnail]

Pep will go strong, especially with injuries and suspension to Dias, Ake and Walker. Think Dinho, Sterling and Jesus will start.

Ederson
Cancello Dias Laporte Zinchenko
Fernandinho Gundogan Bernardo
Sterling Jesus Grealish

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Selection should be all about fitness for our 'fringe' players and sprinkle in a few youngsters....Fern for 45/60 mins then Lavia etc

 

[chickaroon]

Pep will go strong, especially with injuries and suspension to Dias, Ake and Walker. Think Dinho, Sterling and Jesus will start.

Ederson
Cancello Dias Laporte Zinchenko
Fernandinho Gundogan Bernardo
Sterling Jesus Grealish

Dias is injured, out for a few weeks.
