Good side, but no striker starting. Let's hope Mahrez starts off like he finished his last game as he was brilliant last time he played.

I think Zinchenko is a bit unlucky not to start, but you could argue that about quite a few who are left out, with nearly all the squad being fit it's going to happen though.

Should go through, but if we let one in early it could be squeaky bum time.

Music to my ears.

as long as we get the right tune tonight ;-)

 

[Rammy Blue]

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.

Really? Lol. It’s a 12 man bench, everyone on it...

hdmi.........ffs )

Tried that stoner, however my phone doesn't seem to have the correct software embedded to transfer over live or pre-recorded video data to a bigger screen. Could be a copyright encryption issue who knows. When I have used the hdmi input, the tv sees my media files, photos, music etc but nowt else.

Extremely strong side..Hopefully they get the job done. Also Sterling is on bench for 3 games in a row weeee...... Seems like Pep atm is pressuring him

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

can see Pep's priorities.

 

[MichaelFrontzeck'sBathroom]

Good line up although I'm not huge on cancelo at LB, Pep clearly doesnt give a toss about resting either RB but ho hum what the fuck do I know

 

[PragueBlue]

I would prefer Kev to play there

I sincerely hope KDB is one of the front 3. He's more creative than Bernardo and can hurt the opposition more up front. He's also less careful with the ball and if he loses it from a forward position, it doesn't leave us as open to counters.

Bernardo looks after the ball better, is more energetic, more effective defensively and links play well between defence and attack and is therefore more useful in CM.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

This is by a mile our best XI. Hopefully the team we play in all cup competitions.

Where do the coins go?

Don't forget the coat hanger.
