Horrible lineup. This game is very important for us, if they beat us we’re down to second place and that’s very dangereous for last 16 draw. We dont want to play against Real Madrid.

Maybe a 3-5-2 like against the dippers (as someone mentioned).

Just not really sure where Mahrez fits into a 3-5-2 though. With that starting 11 there are so many options - 4-4-2, 3-5-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-3. Interesting to see which we go with.

Oops replied to myself in error.

Bench is a bit lightweight

Yeah, agreed. Wank.

 

[jimharri]

He pretty much played LWB against the dippers I thought with Cancelo at RWB.

Christ, no. Keep Cancelo away from RB at all costs. Let him swap positions with Ortega!

;-)

Lol

Surprised to see Mahrez in the line up

He is just body to keep other player refreshed also Pep will keep playing him until he at his best.

 

[ninjamonkey]

That's 4-4-2.

Probably one of those cheap jobs IKEA knock out.

Disappointed Haaland is playing , so bored of watching him score , in fact City and Pep just make my life so miserable now .

 

[Phil1]

Got to accept that there’s good reasons he’s gone for that 11 so I’ll sit back and see how it pans out.
Glad Eddie is getting a break, I’ve no doubts at all he’s been carrying a niggle. Mahrez will have a lot to prove tonight. It’ll say a lot about him and his mindset if he turns in another below par performance.

 

[PragueBlue]

That's 4-4-2.

Maybe. Maybe not. Lots of options.

Pep always surprises us…….not always good….

 

[lonestay]

Wow we made the dizzy heights of BT2 !!!!!!!

 

[ctwrd]

Perhaps it’s
Stones dias ake
Cancelo Foden
Rodri Gundogan
Mahrez haaland Alvarez

 

[BuryBlue1977]

Thank You Jonathan.

Beat me to it!

 

[samuelyeboah]

well that's a fun lineup, should be an interesting one. my guess it's a 4-4-2
