I’d only make a couple of changes for this one. Need to build a bit of momentum before Liverpool. Rodri or Reijnders in for Bernardo, and Marmoush for Doku.
 
Looks like Pep’s given the players a day off which suggests few changes, if any. Thought we were obliged to have an open training session though before CL games?!

 
We must win all of our 3 remaining home games because we have Real Madrid away and Bodo/Glimt away in mid-winter (Bodo is inside the Arctic circle and will likely be icy / treacherous).

Their season finishes at the end of November to avoid the worst weather so it's strange there's even a game scheduled there for that time of year to be honest. 16pts was the marker last season, but it could be slightly higher this time. Beat Dortmund and we can lose in Madrid and still be top 8 if we go and beat Leverkusen/Gala. We'll see. It's good as a benchmark for where we're at this season, and hopefully brings more confidence ahead of us playing the dippers.
 
He'll almost certainly do a bit of rotation with Liverpool in mind. Depending on fitness issues, you could see the likes of Lewis, Khusanov, Stones, Kovacic and Ake getting a run out. The other option would be to start strong on wednesday, hopefully get a couple of goals ahead by the hour mark, then start subbing.
Kova has calcification of the ankle apparently - can he play with that? Rumour was he's set for more surgery and possibly out for the season. Open training will be up soon hopefully and we can see if he's around or maybe the PC will confirm
 
Any news of a fireworks display tomorrow at the Etihad?

We’ve had them previously on Bonfire Night when we’ve had a game on: CSKA Moscow and Barcelona CL games last decade both had them.

Hadn't heard that. Thanks.
 
What a pathetic PC. No injury updates asked for or offered.
Their job now is to try and bait him into giving them a headline, they dont want to waste their 1 question asking about the stuff the fans actually give a shit about when they can try and get Pep to respond to something Inconsequential but will give them a click bait headline.

Pep doing a Cloughie with this.

All for it. Shows he trusts his players.
