Wonder if we are saving Ake for Madrid and playing the same back line as Munich at home.

It crossed my mind but I think Ake will be on the bench at best.

Akanji can play against Vin. Jr. but Walker has pace and experience, he has played several times vs Vin Jr and knows the nature of the beast.

Win today and the title wll be ours, come on City

 

[SWP's back]

This is a team that can hurt you on its day. We need to be on top of our game.

True, but what do you think their fans are saying about out starting 12?

 

[SebastianBlue]

Rodri is probably gonna die by the time this season ends.

And then resurrect as a living god.

 

[domalino]

There’s a lot of goals in this team. Foden and Mahrez are going to be absolutely gunning for Madrid start, Alvarez always scores, Haaland…

Go at them full tilt and challenge them to keep up.

Pass me my brown trousers

When Phillips and Rice have both been on the pitch for England, I’ve always been more impressed with Phillips.

My response is that they probably shouldnt be.

“Shite, our man advantage has been negated through Pep’s tactical genius.”

 

[bluemoon32]

Rodri " boss, ive lost half a leg, i dont think i can play" , Pep " play through it, oi Phillips, put your fucking tracksuit back on"

 

[Gabriel]

Understandable selection but the engine room will be important. From the corresponding fixture last February, we field 6 of the side that started and won, 0-1, (Ederson, Dias, Laporte, Rodri, Gundogan, and Foden), while Everton only field 4 (Pickford, Holgate, Doucoure, and Iwobi). We’ve been there and know what to do.

 

[domalino]

Rodri is probably gonna die by the time this season ends.

Remember Pep rested Rodri the other week because he simply told him he was tired.

If he was tired now you’d have to assume they’d have the same conversation.

hopfully put the game to bed on the hour and bring on Phillips,Palmer ,Lewis

Sounds good to me ;-)

“Shite, our man advantage has been negated through Pep’s tactical genius.”

Ha. Starting 11*

 

[Kunlover]

I thought Lewis would play instead of Walker. I had Foden, Laporte, Álvarez and Mahrez starting plus Lewis and then 6 players from Tuesday.

 

[BlueLou82]

Regardless of todays result, I think you’ll be fine. Although I accept it’d do nothing for your nerves. I’m saying you get 6 points after today which would be enough on its own. Would you take a draw now?

I would take a point in a heartbeat today as we couldnt have a worse team to play. But im hoping your focus is on the CL game and we can get 3. Should go about 70% of the way to keeping us up and the title is still in your hands even with a defeat.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Rodri has only started once in the last 10 days so should be fine.

Everton will be gutted about our team selection , i didnt think Pep would go with such a strong side , big game for Foden needs to get back into his rythm and state a claim for a place in potentially two cup finals , Foden on top of his game starts every time for me , we need him back to his very best.
