Bernardo right wing again?

 

[mosssideblue]

Fuck me he always looks for a place for his buddy Akanji . Gvardiol thrown in the left back again just to accommodate his buddy Akanji

Boring

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

So echeverri on in fa cup final. Doesnt make bench today

 

[Kun Blue]

Is he being fucking serious. It’s like he’s doing this shit on purpose now. Not one single one of his favourites should be anywhere near that fucking lineup!

 

[Don Karleone]

Like it. Good strong bench too if needed

Only if he makes the changes with time to spare, let's hope they're not needed.

 

[Fordyboy46]

wtf Pep has lost the plot.
Love him but he’s had a shocking season & if we don’t make top 5 it’s all on him!

Mental line up (again)

The oldest we could possibly field

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

2 DMs, Neither of them Nico.
Midfield with an average age of 32.
A rolls-royce center half put at left back for Akanji.
What could go wrong?
This is either going to be unreal or 90 mins of pain.

 

[Blu1]

The oldest we could possibly field

Mental

 

[YatesA]

Rodri back on the bench will just be going through the motions, don't see him doing much unless we are winning comfortably and gets a couple of minutes run out lower intensity. Also would much rather echeverri continue getting bench time over grealish who is a total non factor and is leaving

 

[WickyWain]

Nice to see lots of positivity on here, as always :)

 

[CC1]

Lol at that line up. Ru looking for a way out Pep?

Another positive post.

 

[remember arthur mann]

Akanji starts

Blimey ! Pep loves to give the opposition a break.

 

[youngbob]

Think that line-up is okay. At least it's Nunes and Gvardiol arriving to support the wingers.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Looking very similar to the side which went on that good run, let's see what Bluemoon has to say... oh.

Happy enough with that team, plenty off the bench if needed. One more time, Kev...

 

[KearsleyBlue]

Great to see Kova and Rodri back, and no Savinho is a plus too.

 

[pbueno16]

Good to see Ake and Rodri back into the squad. Savinho and Echeverri not even on the bench while Grealish is and won't even come on is funny.

 

[Lemon7277]

Rodders for KDB on the 80th min

You heard it here 1st

 

[hertsblue]

Zero pace again so expect to get countered at will. Hopefully we can take our chances when we get them for a change

 

[melrose40yarder]

Is he being fucking serious. It’s like he’s doing this shit on purpose now. Not one single one of his favourites should be anywhere near that fucking lineup!

Why keep changing the defence??

Grealish on bench because we still need someone to want to buy him - and maybe to give him a goodbye appearance if we're winning.
