---Foden--Bernie---
Mahrez-Alvarez-Palmer

Hope so

 

[whp.blue]

Potter gone very strong considering Chelsea's injuries mind you he really needs a win!

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Good side, confident that we’ll have enough to get the job done.

Hopefully the plan is to get Rodri off at half time or an hour and continue to build up Philip’s readiness to be an active and important member of the squad.

 

[trueblue1972]

I don't think Phillips is ready to start two games in a row yet, hes barely played this season.

He hasnt started one

 

[Centurions]

The latter, I'd say. Mahrez and Foden out wide, I'm guessing.

Ahh, I was thinking it looked like 4-3-3 but maybe you're right.

 

[Gabriel]

Youngsters down the left, oldsters down the right.

 

[theres only one carlito]

Phillips will play Wednesday, probably 30mins today. I’d have given him an hour today at least.

 

[pudge]

Palmer in kevs role? Hope its foden there and palmer wide

Alvarez won't, he'll be 93 years old by the time he and Mahrez whip a cross in

 

[Impeccable One]

Yes.

So if we draw United or Dippers we can just bin this game [emoji23]

Foden could have very good game today especially if he plays in the middle.

 

[jimharri]

Wouldn't mind another FA Cup final to go to. Been to four of them so far (50% success rate).

 

[MCFC1993]

I'm unsure on Gomez

Pretty much why I'm unsure on the back 4.

Needs to perform today to show he's got a part to play in the rest of the season.

 

[Centurions]

Ludicrous bench!

That's the medias excuses ready if we win, how little old Chelsea can't compete :)

 

[PragueBlue]

Palmer in kevs role? Hope its foden there and palmer wide

Hope none of them is in KDB's current role. Would like to see us go back to the 4-3-3 that has worked so well for us.

 

[Deleted member 81382]

Good to see Laporte back.

Almost a fully fit squad now apart from Dias.

 

[heslops barnet]

Pep master plan?

 

[cbl]

No Jack in the squad?

asked the same thing on his thread - he’s out through illness

Stay away with that record……

 

[DMA's]

Of all the comps this is the one I wouldn’t mind us dropping tbh. Could help with latter stages of champs league and prem run in

 

[walker_is_faster]

Maybe Gomez will be given role like Rico played.
