Nervous and it's only Tuesday, having a couple of days out this half term week to try and forget about Saturday. It just doesn't work though does it, lol

If not Bernie, Pep would probably go with Mahrez. Before anybody starts insults, I'm aware this is considered blasphemy in this forum.

When on form, as for most of last season, Mahrez is superb. His form hasn't been good , or consistent, this season, so he's almost certain to be a substitute in both games. Bernardo and Foden are both in front of him at the moment.

We all love little Phil but he’s arguably the player most likely to give the ball away if we’re playing our full strength team. Mahrez retains possession very well. The kick n rush rags have only one tactic - steal the ball in front of their 18 yd line and hoof it for Rashford.

On that basis I’d sooner see Mahrez on the team sheet than Phil

Fair comment - we all have our preferences, and there's pros and cons whatever Pep chooses.

As I said before, I prefer Bernie to start on the RHS. It's all up to Pep.

I thought down south more appropriate

Kick off time 15:00 (BST).

Not much that needs to be said in the build up to this, just go and beat them.

Assuming we're at full strength:

---------------Ortega (cup keeper)
Walker---Stones---Dias---Akanji
-----------------Rodri
------De Bruyne----Gundogan
Bernardo-----Haaland---Grealish

Was asked who we would play by the relegated Leeds fans today in Pickering my only change was Foden in and Bernardo for CL :-)
Batter the fuckers City !!!!!

 

[big gaz]

Gomes, palmer and Mahrez to start? -:)

I know we all love to hammer the rags and win the treble but it’s good preparation for inter regardless.

The champions league means everything now. Fuck the rags.

Sorry mate, beating the rags means more ;-)

 

[big gaz]

No excuses. Fully fit and well rested.

Ederson

Walker Stones Dias Ake

KDB Rodri Gundogan

Foden / B.Silva Haaland Grealish

Love that team batter the rag scum :-)

He did score 3 in the semi so perhaps deserves a start. Little Phil can be held in reserve.

 

[lazerblue]

all will be revealed at training tomorrow

Not to Pep it doesn’t. Also if you sit down in the cold light of day you will probably reach the same conclusion. The big one is Instanbul and you will be reminded of that loud and clear by rags if we don't win there.

right everyone, if we had to lose one of the finals which one would you choose, i'm torn, on one hand the players and pep deserve the champions league but losing the cup final to them cunts doesn't bear thinking about

Win this one then the next one we will be on a high and a treble is on. The thought of the rags getting one over us in an FA Cup Final does not bear thinking about.

I dunno. They're terrified of Phil after that Hattrick.
