Can’t complain about that team given the injuries.

I reckon Chelsea with treat us with a lot of respect, play very defensively and try and catch us on the break. With a better defence and keeper than last season, I'm hoping we can handle their breaks. Whether we have enough to score against them is an open question.

Fair assessment. But I believe we do. :)

Is that fisting?

Sounds more like deep throat .

City tweeting out our team this season in this style as to not try and guess our formation under Pep aha

Give it a couple of minutes and somebody will.

Delph was excellent the other night, so I'm not in the slightest surprised that he is at LB/LWB.

Isn't it possible that Raz and Hazard are buddies and this was in good fun.

I think too many are taking it way overboard.

Na, hazard been messing about with his mum...

For once Pep has gone with the obvious.

Can't complain with that line up, not had a prematch pint yet and the nerves are starting to kick in.

Very happy with that team.

 

[MCFC1993]

First time i've got the starting 11 right, happy with that line up.

 

[kaz7]

Our bench is not great

 

[Dax777]

For fuck sake, why start a 40somerhing year-old Guardiola in such a big game (:



On a side note,

 

[urban genie]

That team will do nicely

Lots of faith in delph from the boss here. Could easily have played damilo.

Hope he makes the most of his chance.
