The more I look at this line up I actually think it’s the weakest team we could play.

Feel for Nunez I’m not his biggest fan but he’s done ok recently & much better than Lewis

Jack might as well just go Ibiza

Kush is a must

At least one of savi & doku should start

Pep is doing his best to get sacked or find a way out. No way he’s here next season & im not sure if a fresh start is the way forward now.

Love pep but this season he has been very poor & it’s not all down to injuries
Fucking behave. "Pep trying to get sack" what a load of shit.

Over the past couple of months on the pre match thread certain posters(you included) have full on meltdowns no matter what side Pep picks. Bournemouth in the FA Cup springs to mind and I'm absolutely sure you just do it for attention
 
For those of you wondering why Pep has gone with thus line up, I think it's his way of saying to some if them....go out there and prove to me you deserve to be here next season. Probably McAtee, Gundogan, Lewis, Kovacic? Not bad players in my opinion, love them all.....but maybe the time for sentimentality has gone?
 
At least n̈ico is starting and has more discipline than kovacic so we won't have gaping holes in the midfield constantly
 
Big day for McAtee.

He simply cannot have another one of his passive displays. Needs to show what a talent he is.
I honestly don't know if they're passive displays or if that's all he's got.

He hasn't managed to convince me that there's a young exciting player in him yet.
Bit of a hot-head on him as well IMO.
 
Our best available XI at the moment

Ederson
Nunes Dias Gvardiol O'Reilly
Nico Gundogan
Savinho Kevin
I think you could argue Khusonov could be in there at either centre half or right back

Id def argue against KDB - its painful watching him be so poor at present....but you could argue who else...well Foden has been a better false 9 and Marmoush adds more legs

Not sure about this love in for Savinho....got a great future but he is extremely wasteful infront of goal

What I do like is that this shows how weak our squad is at present...

If that was your starting 11 from the start of the season you would struggle to make 10th in the league
 
Marmoush is 6ft and Savinho has 8 league assists, which is the most of all City players.

The line up is clog the midfield, try not to lose, hope a goal is conjured from nothing. Which is shite.
If the aim is ‘try not to lose’ at home to Crystal Palace we have even bigger issues than we thought - they’re not a terrible side by any means but i don’t think it’s being entitled to expect the aim of any home game is to win.

It proves any kind of wining mentality or confidence we had has completely gone and I’d attribute part of that being lost as a result of some of the baffling decisions and comments made by the man in charge all season long.

Certainly would struggle as he only listed 9 players!

We have work to do. Not the time for silly games.

Pep has had a bizarre season this one.

Hopefully we will prevail. We really need a win today.
