Brentford (A) - Sun 28th May, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[OntarioBlue]

I wish we had a game on Wednesday and one the Wednesday after n’all.

The biggest dread I have for the two finals aren’t United and Inter, it’s City losing momentum and sharpness.

I was just thinking about that and wondering if the Club will arrange a couple of friendlies before the finals. I know it’s unusual but it would be a good way to get/keep the players at full match sharpness.

I prefer it when the players aren't rested and they're playing every 3 or 4 days.

They get into a rythm.

Didn't Pep once rest his Bayern players at the end of the season and they didn't do well in the final cup games?

I know what you mean but Brentford are a very physical team

Hopefully our first teamers don't turn up flat as pancake for the finals.

No chance

Well at least he can't keep saying he picks the best team available to win each match

 

[01cravend]

Not a fan of all this rotation and not taking a run up to the final... we better fucking win them

 

[DWIFF]

Real lack of physicality in that starting line up. Brentford will be well up this. No Dias again is a concern.

Anybody have a channel for this

 

[OntarioBlue]

No chance

I think you’re right. Like others on here I am just a bit concerned about the match fitness of players who havent played for two or three weeks.

 

[TueartsOHK]

Surely Dias and JG have actual injuries if to not feature two games in a row? Hopefully nothing serious.

According to t’internet Grealish is lack of fitness and Dias and Akanji both have physical discomfort. We could be telling the media any old shit though

Looking myself…

Happy enough with that. Gone from.having no left footers in the backline in recent weeks to almost all.

Immediate thought would be walker, laporte. Ake, gomez as the back 4 with lewis in with phillips and foden ahead of them but now wondering to even out the distribution of left footers could we perhaps see Lewis right back, Walker and Laporte cb with ake left back with gomez in midfield?

Id love us to just not lose tso we can remain unbeaten, a win would be delightful but just don't get injured. That's the only concern at this point, treat it like a friendly if needs be.

I would be happier with Gomez in midfield as his defending is pretty weak

Fuck me, they haven't sobered up yet?

I see that the rags aren't bothered about today's result with Maguire in the starting lineup :)

 

[Jesus H Gabz]

Not got one negative thing to say about that line up, if anything its reassuring to know some have got their feet up, if we lose in any of the cups it will have nothing to do with momentum or certain players not playing today, there’s also an argument that certain players need the minutes more in case they’re called upon. I’ve never give less of a shite about the result of a game under Pep than this. Hopefully for those travelling down the lads put on a show, come back fit & healthy for next week, and one or two find form, we’re gonna need a good 16-17 of the squad over the two finals, this is the chance to get them ready
