Leeds United (H) - Sat 29th Nov, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Ric]

Donnarumma, Nunes, Gvardiol, Dias, O'Reilly, Gonzalez, Silva, Foden, Reijnders, Doku, Haaland

 

[Ric]

Reijnders needs to step up today to justify starting over Cherki.

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Despite the inconsistency we are not going to draw against a God awful Leeds….unless he starts Bobb and Savio.

Savingo should just read Bluemoon comments about him if he needs a confidence boost... Oh hang on...

He scored a cracker v Newcastle last season...he can do it.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Fairly predictable. I bloody hope that isn't bernardo wide right though, going back to that tactic would be a major step backwards, I felt we were beyond that now. Foden from the right with reijnders as the 10 and bernardo sitting with nico

 

[Father Paul]

Agree. On the basis we probably won’t win the league, and that’s fine, we can’t be too greedy , I wanted us to go all in on Tuesday especially after the Newcastle game, but Pep threw a huge bucket of cold water over proceedings.

I would say before Tuesday we had a slightly better chance of winning the CL than the league. After that defeat the playoff round bekons again. Surely a 3 or 4 player rotation Tuesday and today was what was ordered? Probably Pep's most baffling, and there's been many, team selection.

 

[denTTony]

Almost back to best current team, surprised reijnders starts

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

10 out of 11 as expected, would be nice to see Reijnders up his game today.

Hopefully Doku and Foden more narrow as want to keep Phil more involved rather than stuck out on the wing. Please not Bernie on the wing, get him in beside Nico G and control the game / tempo.

 

[borassic]

Please not Bernardo on the wing

 

[waspish]

I’d rather have Cherki coming of the bench if we need a goal than Riejnnders! At 27 Reijnders needs to play really to get up to speed and it’s see if he is braver than passive this game!

8-0 ..

Savingo should just read Bluemoon comments about him if he needs a confidence boost... Oh hang on...

That's a good start calling him Savingo...he goes past the opposition at will...come on songwriters...earn your corn... @journolud started the ball rolling.

 

[come-on-barney]

Soaked, a good win today, think Pep will have the boys up for it. Half and half sellers hijacking fans as soon as they get off the tram now. Nobody was biting which was good news, although still plenty around.

 

[ESP Blue]

Nmecha to score first then.

5.1 City

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Bobb back in the stands. He must be getting to last chance saloon soon.

 

[Father Paul]

Donnarumma

Nunes
Dias
Gvardiol
Ait-Nouri

Gonzo
O'Reilly

Cherki
 Foden
Doku

The Striking Viking

Why would anyone just shove O'Reilly into midfield as an experiment while weakening the defence? Are you Pep in disguise?

 

[Newmoston1212]

Honestly don’t get us not starting Cherki at all

 

[Ric]

Bobb and Khusanov back in the stands. Bobb must be getting to last chance saloon soon.

Khusanov's on the bench mate.

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

8-0 ..

Only 8?
Not another missed penalty, surely?
:)
