It appears Pep rates Akanji as a better defender than either Dias or Laporte , i know they have had injury issues but both of them have been training for a while , how do they get match fit if they dont get any game time ?
Akanji is decent dont get me wrong but he isnt at Dias or Laporte levels , we need Dias and Laporte for their leadership , i dont see Akanji reading the riot act when we are under pressure , he is too quiet and isnt a leader like the other two.
Apart from Akanji's selection that is a strong side , Ake will have a busy night against Saka , but i think we have the edge in midfield with a consistent Rico stepping in to help Rodri , looking forward to this

FFS pep what sort of line up is that?

ITV will cram the studio with guest pundits from ex-rags & the arse, with Lee Dixon on co-comms.

That's why I always fuck the pre.match chat shit off and switch on just before kick off

de Bruyne/gundo combination worries me a little against a pacey arsenal side, what must Alvarez do to get more starts, a cup competition is perfect opportunity

 

[Andouble]

my concern is that we've beat them sooo many times in a row that we're due for a slip-up, either here or in the league. Considering how vital all the matches with them are this season, let's hope it's not til next year ;)

To be fair to the lad who got the "team", if say there was some genuine info in it. There's no way you'd guess 10 out of them 11. Most people on here would have cancelo, walker, dias, silva, alvarez and maybe even Phillips starting

I wouldn’t

It’s pretty obvious who’s in favour with Pep now

I could’ve guessed 9 or 10 quite easily

What minute does Tierney go down holding his face?

Don’t often see refs do that, but wouldn’t put it past this one…
