Lets fuckin ave it. COME ON CITY

 

[Draikin]

Looks like a new formation again, what could go wrong ?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I can only assume Rodri is playing CB when we’re defending and he’ll then push up into midfield in possession to create the usual 3-2 build up shape.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Bloody hell. Looks like the return of the absolute disaster of an experiment that was Rodri at centre back.

 

[Mr Partridge]

So basically the system we're playing is...





No, not a bloody clue.

 

[Chi-town blues]

yess pep on full on attacking mode .love it

 

[discopop]

How the hell has Bernardo gotten the start after that performance vs Tottenham???

Well he can’t be that bad two games in a row

 

[Alexia_Ko]

When we play with all 4 midfielders it rarely works. I'm not too excited

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

Rodri to drop in a CB when they attack with Laporte going to left back. Back 3 when we attack. Presumably means there is no need for an inverted full back. If we win pep’s a genius if we don’t the fanny wipes on here will have a field day

 

[Saddleworth2]

Three at the back then, Bernie and Gundo dropping back next to Rodri. Cmon you beautiful blue boys.

 

[wolviedinho]

No Alvarez?

It’s not a bad team. Last time we tried Rodri in the cb/dm role we looked disjointed. Hope it works out today.

We’ve been playing 343 since the World Cup.

Need Mahrez and grealish to work extra hard this gane . No pace in our team I’m afraid . This will be a slog

We will be up against a bus but if we can get one early then game on

Never going to happen!

 

[Goater=Legend]

If we struggle to create anything in the first half with that much talent on the pitch then theres a problem.

 

[super_city_si]

A lot of very good footballers in that team. Come on city!!!

 

[axlgod]

Come on City!!!

 

[remember arthur mann]

Villa looking stronger, Mings not playing.

 

[come-on-barney]

No Phil, no party…

Not after yesterday. Pep is beyond reproach.
