Anyway, if we win with that line-up, I'll never question Guardiola's selections again (well for 6 days at least!).

These players have the chance to win the league and make history. They're all good players, let's see if they can seize the moment.

They may all be good players, but what we want is a good team

Aguero and Mendy as centre midfielders and Rodri as the speed merchant on the right wing according to the BBC.

it makes more sense if you rotate it 90% to the left

not a lot more, but....

It’s also a great opportunity for one of these players to get themselves into the starting eleven for the champions league final. I’m happy with the line up we have enough quality to win it’s up to the players

 

[Whether or not]

So you’re saying we will lose today

Not definitely, but I would have been a lot more optimistic if we had picked most of Tuesdays team. Fingers crossed.

Sky promoting this as the dress rehearsal for the CL and saying Chelsea have got the better of us in the FA Cup. Look at the difference in personnel is almost two different sides

Just had to delay the celebratory piss up tomorrow until 5pm when Villa have smashed the Rags. The only surprise about that team selection is that Pep hasnt shoe-horned Garcia into the team and Carson isnt in goal
Bur seriously it would be nice if Sterling , Aguero , Jesus and Torres all played to their potential because at their best they would give Chelsea plenty to think about , COME ON YOU BLUE BOYS!!!!!

I am not sure Pep should be starting this game with the starting eleven for the CL final.

Good job he isn't.

Tbh, I expected something like this.
Makes sense on a lot of levels.

Well I for one won’t throw my toys out of the pram. I’m not expecting much now so I can relax and try to work out Peps tactics. Midfield is an interesting setup. Maybe we will revert to a long ball game with Eddie pumping 70 yarders over Chelsea’s press.

I thought the ESL was a non-starter.
