I really do hate seeing Grealish and Mahrez starting together on the wings. Hopefully Jack can be a bit more first in his dribbling tonight, and hopefully Mahrez is up for it and finds a bit of form!

If we lose I will console myself that the winners of this competition often lose a group game early on and then go on to win the damn thing.

That’s a thought to inspire the players.

You should email the club and tell them that Pep’s lost the plot mate.
I’m sure they’ll be grateful for your expertise and kind intervention.

Don't be a dick. The poster makes a fair point.

Mahrez and Grealish look a bit slow on the wings but they may suite a European game more.

Mahrez usually turns up in the games in Europe ...its in the prem where the intensity is more he goes missing

Akanji might go left sided though, if Pep wants Cancelo at right back. Probably depends on which side Reid plays on.

Plenty of possibilities yeah, would definitely prefer stones middle. As akanji is new and ake can cover better left side for cancello being up the pitch most of the time. Hard to guess pep though:-)

Is Ruby injured?

@city10 and @LongsightM13, take it to pms if you can't put each other on ignore.

Is that mod speak for get a room?

 

[hilts]

I would have thought it was Cancelo Rb, Ake lb and stones and Akanji in the middle? Makes more sense to me, but either way looks good

Does cancelo ever play full back though really? It just depends on which side he attacks/ joins midfield on.

 

[cookster]

Is Ruby injured?

Nope on the bench

At the moment it doesn't bother me I'm in Tenerife lol.

Wave to my daughter and her husband! They flew out there this morning. ;-) :-)
