Fern looked v tired at the end of that. Depends what his recovery is like.Totally agree, I’d be really surprised if we don’t see Rodri and Fernandinho for this game.

I am taking the positives out of today shit show.
We knew that team selected today was poor before kick off.
I will take Pep on his word if he is saying he thinks it was good enough.
Then after today display, surely we wont see any more crazy team selection. Just our best starting 11.
No one will have a problem if we lose with our best starting 11 on the Pitch at the end of the game.
We have a few fringe players we need to move on.
Pep picks a defensive starting eleven and employs experimental tactics hoping for a nil-nil draw. Dortmund score, and we go to pieces, ending up with a man sent off and going out on the away goal rule.
Assumed that we’d play the same side that started on Tuesday, but think there’s a chance that Cancelo could have played himself out of the side with that performance. Zinchenko might get the nod now.
That would be my XI too.I think Pep starts with the best team on current form:
Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Zinchenko
Gundogan
Rodri
De Bruyne
Mahrez
Jesus
Foden
27th or 28th April - First Leg (A)If we get passed Dortmund whens the semi
Fair point, he played the full game today, but he’s not played that much football this season? I’d like to see a more solid line up for this game, we should still have enough going forward.Fern looked v tired at the end of that. Depends what his recovery is like.
