A Brighton equilizer and a Mahrez hat trick coming up ...

hope you are right

 

[FantasyIreland]

But do you honestly think Pep is helping himself by continually picking under performing players, I can predict what the performance will be like today before a ball has been kicked

We all can,becasue the daft twat keeps playing the same system.

No Phil no party

I don't know what half of you cunts are complaining about. The only contentious selection is Mahrez in there over Foden but if you're expecting Pep to just banish Mahrez from the side you're delusional anyway.

They can only consider, one match , one selection at a time, so the casual fan picks his/her favourite team every week, and it is the same team usually.Pep on the other hand, considers injury, illness, this week, next week, and the week after.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Lol at the poll, FFS at the team selection. But more importantly, COME On YOU BLUE BOYS!!!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

We have two world class players in Foden and Bernardo who soon will be on the lookout for another club if this manager don’t get his head out of his ass.

Mahrez has done nothing to deserve his spot. Bernardo was one of the best midfielders in Europe with Monaco and have been amazing with us, but we will lose him if Pep don’t start playing him soon. I’m fucking pissed. Gundogan, Mendy and Mahrez. One could believe he actually wants to lose. Idiot.

If Mahrez has done nothing to deserve his spot based on form then Bernardo shouldn't even be on the bench.

Pep prioritizing the CL this season by the looks of that team.

..which he himself has stated is not the thing he relishes.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

Pep is clearly demonstrating that he has his sights almost exclusively on the Chumps League at the expense of domestic trophies.

I want us to go for all cup competitions and just take top 4 in the prem

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Tbf, that line-up is getting a similar reaction on Twitter too.

That's because we are all fucking negative knownowts unlike @domalino

 

[Brewster's millions]

Not really sure why people are surprised by that line-up.

If a manager has a dog shit 18 months and is then given a two-year contract extension, they're hardly going to change are they?

I still think we'll win the game though, even with that team, but we'll probably make hard work of it and I'm looking forward to Foden coming on in the 85th minute.
