Grealish is the man for this game.

One of the strangest team selections for a derby since Davd Brightwell was asked to mark the fast Ukranian guy.

 

[come-on-barney]

No excuse for him not to be starting

You can be assured there is one. Always remember we are planning for the future with this lineup.

In a way, that team has taken the pressure off the afternoon.....in the wrong way.

You happy with the line up then , that's the 11 you'd pick?

Having not been privy to seeing this week’s training sessions, who might be carrying a knock or what tactics are being used, I couldn’t say whether that line is is good, bad or indifferent and, nor could you.

Perhaps leaving it to those who are privy to such details are best placed

I know I know......it should be 99.9% surely. ;-) :-)

Welcome back, hope you are feeling better

Thank you , a strange side effect of dying is that i have no interest in football at all, it is fucking weird but told it is normal and should return , funny old thing it is

CL Final 2021 esq

Terrible line up. Midfield will be slow as a snail. Not starting grealish is a joke. Nunes of khusanov is even a bigger one.

Gundo,kovacic kdb lol we will be slugsss and overran in the middle again. Idk what pep is doing anymore. I always defend him but we need to make top 4 and we need to take the game to them and this is just not it. I really hope I am wrong but man this lineup has not worked any game this season

 

[Greenjob]

Not sure that this line up can defeat the rags? No pace, no aggression.

 

[burnley blue mcfc]

Grealish should be starting & foden should be nowhere near the starting x1, that midfield worrys me big time what have you done pep :-/, hope your genius shines through? :-)

Just changed mine to draw

 

[Columbia]

What absolute shite

Agreed. Gundo doesn’t track back either, doesn’t track forward either. Absolute shocker of a midfield that one.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

That’s because you’ve no clue about football.

Doku and Savinho are nowhere near good enough to start, and against wing backs so they’d be expected to track back they’d be more of a liability.

Correct mate. And those two running at people all the time loses you possession and gets you broke at by a team like Man United. Similar to Bournemouth.

 

[blue62]

No country for old men.

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

This thread looks like a carbon copy of last week - everybody fretting about the same midfield who played against a more in form team and were comfortably better than them.

I can't get my head round the Pep out posters at all. You're not real people, are you?

Interesting post from someone with just over 550 posts in nearly 9 years.

 

[DMA's]

Not sure that this line up can defeat the rags? No pace, no aggression.

Main concern is the lack of goal threat in the team. It’s going to be a slow plodding performance with plenty of backwards and sideways passing.

Question is whether we can keep a clean sheet!

 

[Bluemoonie92]

Marmoush foden and de bruyne gonna have a lot to do today

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Dad's army in midfield.

Fernandes will walk all over them by himself!!

Piss poor selection for a derby.
