[its a Barm]

Just fuckin win

 

[Saddleworth2]

Just looked at the form table for the last 5, 6, 10 games. Guess who is top of all of them? Last 6 away games w4 d2.

We are 14th.

 

[willipp]

Cracking day for it that’s for sure.

 

[Ric]

Not a fan of these early kick offs, but at least the sun is shining. Going to be another tough game, but just need to grind out a win. Palace are in good form, but worth noting they only drew at Southampton in their last away game and are without their captain.

Ederson

Khusanov
Dias
Gvardiol
O'Reilly

Gonzalez
Gundogan

Doku
Grealish
Savinho

Marmoush

I like that team other than I’d go Kovacic before Gundo

 

[Boney]

i will not be surprised if pep starts with gundogan, KDB, kovacic, bernado. i just hope not.
pep loves his old reliables despite them being no longer reliable.

 

[IronsideKozuch]

need the progress I seen in the second half against Bournemouth. Since then we have rather under par performances against Leicester and United. We could do better and hopefully we will today

Probably best we can put out but there’s not a lot of goals in there! Could do with end of season Gundo showing up…

Nor me I had to turn this game down. Was out last night watching Jason Manford with my lad and his missus. Both of them up at 4am to make this game, oh to be young again lol.

 

[Eccles Blue]

In Pep I trust wholeheartedly. In the fans I trust wholeheartedly. Cheer like billyoh for those of us who can't make it. Remember we may not be there in body but my goodness we are there in spirit. COME ON CITY. COME ON CITY.

He said in his conference yesterday why he does it.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

What I'd like to see (this definitely won't be the team):

Ederson
Khusanov Dias Gvardiol
Nunes Nico Grealish O'Reilly
Bobb Marmoush Savinho

 

[Yue Wollongong]

I like that team other than I’d go Kovacic before Gundo

And replace Doku or Sav with KDB or Gundo.

 

[BringBackSwales]

And replace Doku or Sav with KDB or Gundo.

After last Sunday I wouldn’t be risking Gundo, maybe it looked worse from inside the swamp than it actually was? I also think 2 wingers might help, not sure we win a midfield battle with Palace and the best bet might be to attack them with width

 

[Xhavenjoe]

He said in his conference yesterday why he does it.

But these players are not physically mobile anymore and so they are finding it difficult to have any responsibility.
The ability to be able to run at speed and over a decent period of time has to be factored in as well.
