Seriously like the look of this team, this could be our best line Pep can put out in my opinion.

 

[Watters56]

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

Totally agree!

 

[Rammy Blue]

Hopefully he’s learning lessons of seasons gone and champs league is best starting 11 and formation.

You could argue for Jesus being in the team for the hard press, but I think being 2-0 up he’s gone for the false 9 option being the most efficient.

Jesus will start Sat at Everton.

Happy with that line up, no idea why we have paid for Garcia to travel.

Loves a bowl of Goulash.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

There's maybe an argument for maybe one or two players who could swap in, but that's our strongest formation and 11, I think.

 

[iceman]

The bench would finish top 4

Happy with that line up, no idea why we have paid for Garcia to travel.

I suspect because we'd still be paying him to sit on his arse at home?

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

that's close to being our strongest XI, swap out Mahrez for a fit and firing Sergio and we're chuckling

Think we'll need a time machine for that Sergio part.

Close to our best team though I agree

 

[Rammy Blue]

To be honest I still don't enjoy seeing Mahrez in the lineup, even in his good games he's frustrating for most of the game, doesn't work off the ball, goes missing for 10 minutes at a time, the difference between his great games and shit games is just that a few of the speculative shots go in instead of wide!

But I can acknowledge he is in good form and is likely to chip in with a goal or assist so worth his place.

That’s a great summary of Mahrez.

might be because the club pay his wages
