It's not his reaction we should be concerned about but KDB, Cancelo etc. They provided him with very little service.

KDB put one on a plate for him, should have scored the header

I just hope Pep never ever plays Gundo, Kev and Rodri in the same side ever again........just two from those three at a time please.

Do that and don't even think about starting Mahrez and I think we'll win by three goals.

Fingers crossed that Pep doesn't over egg the pudding for this. CTID

Ooooohhhhhh....which 11 could it be this week??

I think we have four league games before the big break.
I’d like 10 points minimum so should resume Boxing Day 1st or 2nd.
Someone, someday will ship 10 against us.

I’d like 12 points minimum, no disrespect but it’s Brighton, Leicester, Fulham and Brentford

Think Grealish will come in for this, probably for Gundogan. It'll probably be the same back four, but maybe Akanji at right-back and Cancelo at left-back this time. Going to be a difficult game as Brighton are a good side, but hopefully the players will have a point to prove, and we'll benefit from no midweek game.

Ederson
Akanji, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne, Bernardo
Foden, Haaland, Grealish

Back to normal. Win big.

This is our best team until Walker returns.

This game can't come quickly enough for me! We'll play the formation we should have done at Anfield and we'll win the game. It's a good test for Brighton, they're playing well but could really do with a striker to be honest. I'm not sure why they keep failing to address that area - it's prevented them from becoming very much a European contender under Potter and De Zerbi is a brilliant appointment. A very well-run club. He'll be licking his lips at the chance to go toe-to-toe with Pep and I expect him to try something a bit different and for us to subsequently batter them.

We've had 2 goaless games so we are due some goals.

 

[St.Pauli support]

Yeah, zero goals away twice, good to be home.

Hope the lads are back to normal standards and having some fun together without vile and disrespectful surroundings.
