Spurs (H) - Sat 23rd Aug, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Gundoggin]

We always play with this formation. Nothing that different

Deffo looks like 3 upfront .
Bobb wide Cherki and Marmoush creating space .
Absolutely mouthwatering.

 

[clarion]

Love the line up except you know who

 

[malg]

Just come back 4 pages and it appears no one is moaning about the line up. Can't remember last time I saw that on here. Matchday Thread could be boring today.

 

[johnny crossan]

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

no room for everyone

 

[bluemoon32]

6-3 City

 

[SWP's back]

Bus arriving.....Trafford starts as does Marmoush and Cherki - Eddy gone


XI | Trafford, Lewis, Stones, Dias (C), Ait-Nouri, Nico, Reijnders, Bobb, Cherki, Marmoush, Haaland SUBS | Ederson, Ake, Doku, Rodri, Bernardo, Nunes, O'Reilly, Khusanov, Foden

So pleased with that team. Ease Rodders back in.

 

[ninjamonkey]

You want to see Reijnders in a deeper position??

No. The exact opposite. We are going to see Reijnders in a deeper position today with that lineup. I want to see him freed of those responsibilities and played further up like Wolves.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

I always gets a bit nervous when we start the exact lineup I want…can’t blame Pep if we don’t win!

This team should take spurs apart.

Yes, can't imagine anyone who's unhappy with Pep's lineup today. Down to the players to do the business. Very exciting, attacking team on paper.

 

[simon23]

Well we have seen Reijnders can play a more advanced role but he is going to have to be a bit more disciplined today or Nico could end up isolated.

Lewis will tuck in we know but having Bernardo there last time enabled us to keep the ball even better.....

Very attacking line up but lets soo if its balanced enough

 

[City Raider]

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

Gvardiol too

 

[Silva&Silva]

Very happy with that line up. Into these, City.

 

[oldius]

Cherki can only be in because of what he has shown in training. Pep's comments about his talent are revealing, IMO, and I wonder if he will nail down that position. It's an exciting prospect

 

[Dax777]

I see a lot of backups starting :)

 

[J.A.M]

I was looking forward to this game already, but after seeing that team Im like a giddy little school boy, if that team click, OMG the creativity in it will be amazing:)))

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Pep turning into Brian Horton :-)

 

[oakiecokie]

6-3 City

Last time I remember a score like that was against Arsenal and Ferno scored I think his first goal for us.

 

[DD93]

Rico starting again ? :)))))

Oh Pep Oh........

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

North stand looks really good.

 

[Dax777]

This is what I expected with the exception of Cherki. So good tomes. Is Erling or Diss Captain?

In work, anybody got a body of water that will work on iPhone? ;)
