Where do the coins go?

Round the back (Oo-err).

Not a fan of both our right backs playing when's there's 4 players on the bench capable of playing left back. Surprised to see that forward lineup, that's probably currently our best lineup I just didn't expect Pep to go with it, jesus very unfortunate to miss out.

What's he doing with the bench though? 5 defenders and 2 keepers? In what scenario does he think we might need that?

Even if he doesn't plan on using them, surely having a Doyle or Palmer on the bench instead, they'd be a higher potential for them to get on ahead of Carson being needed? I'd say it's more likely we are winning 3-0 and can afford Doyle 10 minutes to rest legs than for 2 of our keepers to get injured in the match. Bizarre, really bizarre. It seems like something managers do when they are trying to make a point.

Hoping the former for cohesion,but who knows.....

I think I'd rather Bernardo deeper to help with possession, and Kevin higher up for more in the final third.

But the other way works too with Bernardo up top for pressing ability, not sure which is best, maybe just situational.

The strikers must be wondering what they have to do to get regular games. Jesus is probably in his best form since he's been here, Aguero scored his goal and lasted 90 minutes.

Both dropped next game.

Aguero needs bringing back slowly, no point him getting another injury. 90 minutes Saturday night and now a rest

 

[Airbags Optional]

Why not both?

I would prefer Kev to play there

Great line up

 

[JGL07]

He's instrumental to our system.

Music to my ears.

Shame Pep doesn't continue playing Jesus out left, he seems very exciting in that position.

Round the back (Oo-err).

OMG, that brought back memories of our first colour telly, rented from DER in Northenden. Had a coin box on the back.
