I adore this lineup.
If it clicks - devastating creativity.

 

[mscenterh750]

Just think we’ve got Donnarumer, Rodrygo, Livramento, Rodri and Foden to come in yet ;)

Mistake not playing Bernardo and pushing Reijnders deeper as a result imo.seem a bit too front loaded but nobody can say it isn't an attack minded setup.

I'd also have preferred both nunes and ake at fullback for their pace and height as I expect the flanks and set pieces to be Spurs' best weapon. Trust Pep to have a plan and get it right though. Got to win this and set a benchmark.

You want to see Reijnders in a deeper position??

Pep.us going got it.

What an attacking team. :-)

Agree, would have liked to see Bernie in there with Cherki on the right instead of Oscar and Nunes at FB provding overlap.

Just turned the fucking tele off as they were talking about Arsenal and the sighing of Eze etc.I`ll switch it back on at 12.28.
Fucking comics this station.

the reverse of what was posted.

Good to see Pep trust Cherki in the middle, was confident it was going to happen at some point but did think he'd go for Bernie today.

Could also be Bobb in the middle let's see. Pep openly spoke about his game and how good he'd be in midfield the other day.

Buzzing for the game now.

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Come on lads

 

[bluemc]

No akanji or gundogan

It's quite telling that both are not even in the squad.

 

[Macca77macca]

Whilst its delightful to have a thread of happy clappers such as myself, I do worry everyones a little too confident about this..

 

[Gundoggin]

Looks like 3 upfront.
Absolutely fantastic.

First time everyone has been 100% happy with a team in a good good while I think no matter where you look

We always play with this formation. Nothing that different

not sure about a couple of those but don't forget Gvardiol!

 

[bell_mcfc]

No akanji or gundogan

Yeah they are gone

 

[Eccles Blue]

Know nowt zounderkite, rantallions

Wish I knew exactly what that is but sounds great Eccles.

*lol* I look on a site for old fashioned alternative swear words!! :-)

Yup, another message from Pep that he is committed to a new team and new tactics. Just two changes: Marmoush for Bernado and Cherki for Doku.
