I was not expecting Gvardiol to start. After so long out, he starts this vital game. Wow. Pep tinkering with the line up and our most in form player Doku goes to the bench. Hope it all works out successfully tonight.

Trafford will start in the Cup Final

I know that, but this would have been a good warm up for him.

 

[Ajm1985]

Donnarumma
Kuhusanov Guegi Gvardlio
Nunes Bernardo Foden AitNouri
Semenyo Marmoush Savinho

Like this?

Yeah that's what I can see it as, but who knows! After his recent comments about Nunes' intelligence and playing at 6, he might be planking him there.

Should’ve given Trafford a start too if he was gonna rotate the whole team

He'll be playing Saturday

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Lets see how many city fans wet the bed at that team.

 

[Keith Moon]

Genius line-up — at least five goals today, so I’m going for 6–1 to the Blues.

 

[M Gaudino]

possibly the weirdest team he’s ever selected

Lets see how many city fans wet the bed at that team.

I have for one.

 

[Pepmanc]

Think Pep has had one of his brain farts

 

[bluethai]

I bet even the players don’t know what to expect with the roles they’re going to play as well.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Genius line-up — at least five goals today, so I’m going for 6–1 to the Blues.

I’ll just be happy to see Foden put on a show and grab a goal or three.

I'm haven't been in my bed since I was told to stand by it during the last transfer window

 

[come-on-barney]

Pep seemed really annoyed at losing the last two cup finals in the embargoed presser. Definitely wants to win the cup.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Think Pep has had one of his brain farts

It's not really a brain fart when everyone knows exactly what he's doing and why.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

That team news is a bit leftfield. Did not expect Gvardiol to start.

Is this a joke??

Gvardiol??

So that's a 3-0-7 formation??

3 4 3
4 33
1 2 25

Are you entertained ?

 

[simon23]

Clearly thinks the league is gone and saving a few players for the FA Cup final

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

pre-match
hands up who's disappointed

full-time
hands up who's been proven wrong

 

[madloaf]

Gvardiol upfront? Savinho left back? Aitnouri and marmoush as the destroyers in midfield. Love it

 

[HorlocksWalk]

Maybe a free hit for Pep. If it works, it works and if it don't then no big last day drama for Sky/EPL
