Add 2 lads to the bench and its a better team than the starting XI

 

[willipp]

Well that lineup will kill any atmosphere there might have been.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

That's a piss poor like up.

Can't see where the goals are coming from.

Will be a long afternoon.

 

[bluemc]

The pace on the wingbacks? Rico Lewis?

Packing the midfield and hoping the pace on the wingbacks looks after us? That's the only way I can imagine us getting width?

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Nico, to Rico, through to Nico :)

The line ups are what they are now.

Come on blues lets get these 3 points

 

[Blu3m00n91]

I have no idea what that line up is. Who’s on the wing? I could only imagine it’d Marmoush Left wing, KDB false 9, Macca right wing

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Well that lineup will kill any atmosphere there might have been.

Well that's just pathetic, isn't it?

 

[fathellensbellend]

Going to be a tough watch, where's the pace and width, hopefully Palace are shit.

 

[DWIFF]

Zero threat FC

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Laughable starting XI. Utterly bereft of width, pace and energy. And up against a bang in form, counterattacking team loaded with pace and power.

 

[Victorinodennistua]

Not sure what McAtee has shown to warrant starting ahead of Savinho, Doku or Grealish. Not much pace or strength in midfield. Ah well, let's just wait and see what transpires

1-3 palace

 

[Boney]

this is the worst starting line up i have seen since pep became manager.
what does he see that no one else does.
or is he trying to get the sack.

 

[MCFC1993]

Defence is fine but that midfield is something else.

Kovacic again ffs, got Nico and Gundo in there don't need him as well!

 

[Fordyboy46]

Pep totally underestimating the 2nd form team in the league. Think we'll be in for an almighty shock today

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Pep is seeing something nobody else is. But he knows best.

We've just got to trust the process...

Does he? I don’t think he does any more, obviously

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Another criminal line-up.
Is there a Prory for managers needing recovery to get their act together.
The constructive dismissal of Greslish continues I see.

 

[chaddblue]

Is pep losing the plot?

 

[mancity111]

I rarely comment before a match these days but all I can say is that we need to have one hell of a summer in the transfer window if we are going to compete for honors next season.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Fraser, Jones and Godfrey in midfield managed by Mainwaring. It’s a shockingly slow midfield that is getting overrun every week

At least Pike is bringing the average age down

 

[Fordyboy46]

Defence is fine but that midfield is something else.

Kovacic again ffs, got Nico and Gundo in there don't need him as well!

Absolutely shite isn't it
