Gundo, like playing with 10 men straight away.

Wtf even is this???? If he hadn’t have done the treble and four in a row there’s be serious question marks, yet he’ll get away with it on a technicality

Has Pep lost the plot. I’m just on my to the stadium and I’m tempted to turn round and go home.

Probably for the best. We gonna go for a jar with the old man and watch it.

Not bothering now. We'll go to his local that doesn't have sport on the TV.

 

[King Jay]

Name a worse one in the premier league?

The one last week was as shit

 

[roubaixtuesday]

Well I wasn't expecting that.

Up the blues!!!

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

On a separate note, it’s nice to see three academy graduates in the starting XI.

Too little, too late

 

[IT and Me]

My thoughts exactly. Same as united. Hope I am wrong but not enthused by the line up. That's despite the fact (or compounded by) that whenever Lewis plays I never expect us to come away with 3 points. I do, however, expect to see him theatrically sprawl on n his front on numerous occasions!

Being our greatest ever manager is one hell of a technicality.

 

[Bellamy's Caddy]

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

I had hoped Grealish's goal and performance against Leicester might have led to a run of games for him.

Savinho and Doku are both frustrating in their end product. I had hoped the end of this season would be the time to give them game time, and hopefully play them into form. Pep seems to be punishing them, and aiming to force a reaction? Hope it works, but we need to win these games in the meantime.

 

[Sibierskii]

Wtf is going off

 

[mind your car Mr?]

After saying we really need to go for it in the final games to make champions league he picks that team! Ffs that's not going for it

 

[King Jay]

Didn’t go with McAtee all season but now?

 

[simon23]

No width FC continues.

Will it work today?

maybe cause our wide players produce fuck all and give the ball away.....

I love Doku but we get countered on more with him in the tea,...same as Sav

 

[dubblue]

Shocking line up. Expect a repeat of last weekend.

Always one…….

Undroppable in peps eyes

 

[BlueMonkey79]

It is definitely going that way. An hour to go and some have already thrown in the towel.

Quite extraordinary really.

Looks like our manager has thrown the first towel in, churning out a side like that against an in form palace. ..

Not one person on this forum would have a starting 11 anywhere near to what he has picked today.

 

[flook]

There is not one argument for Gundog ahead of Ghoulish, not a single one

Going a step further, there are very few arguments for Lewis ahead of Nunes either. Nunes has been amongst out best players last couple of games and seemed to be settling into the full back role

 

[Longballutd]

What a balls of a line up. What are we going to do bore Palace into submission?

 

[Stelea]

Car crash again. It’s as though they are trying to throw it.
