Pep "I made a horrible plan first half" then by saturday forgot about it and did it again

Pep realising its time to put the best players on the pitch

Yes but in what formation ? Lol

It was horrible for that game. It worked vs Villa.

I like the team but will Rdori ever get a rest? Geez. What a disappointment Phillips has been. Unlucky with injuries, yes, but he's been fit long enough to start vs Nottingham Forest, surely...

He played a few mins last game , not enough to start is it

 

[FantasyIreland]

Love the look of that team!

It didnt work first half against Arsenal so are we hoping,because its lesser opposition,it might work today?

You missed his explanation that it wasn't Bernardo at left back that was horrible.

It’s didn’t work according to plan cuz Saka is a pussy diver following his managers order.

 

[Northblue]

Come on Phil, like that team

 

[Shaffer92]

He's an established international player with world-class players surrounding him... I think he would be alright vs Nottingham Forest...

True enough,so it must be the opposition.

 

[PragueBlue]

Would have preferred to see Ake at LB but not sure for who as I like the look of the rest of the team. Shame we can't play with 12!

who is the support for the left? berny or foden? both have done it before and one got booked for being excitable and the other was bad at it.

As Ake is better in a back 3 I would feel better if he had kept him in.

I am happy with 3 at the back and a 3-4-3 set up and the team picked on thw whole

 

[thanatos]

If Phillips can’t even get these games that’s pretty damning

 

[kaz7]

And need subbing at some point , pointless

 

[01cravend]

Happy seeing more consistent line-ups again. Do feel a bit for Lewis who has lost his place simply because Walker is back fit

 

[Scottyboi]

Just checked flashscore for the line ups fuck me how many players Forest have haha half the team out injured.

 

[jimharri]

Is he taking the piss with Bernardo?

Bernardo surely with Foden replacing Mahrez.
