I am still tired from last nite!! Can we just throw 11 players on and play to win?

 

[omri]

same line up, get in done.

after give them ralex, 2 weeks and start think about the final.

 

[Immel & Dibble]

Get this won and then prepare for the final and in-between all that carry on taking the piss out of Stetford Rovers

I assume that Sterling, Jesus, Cancelo, Laporte and Rodri will come back for this one. Whilst he might be temptd to go "full strength" to get a psychological boost if we have them in Istanbul, I think he will be desperate to give those players more opportunities to play a part in our success and to reward them for the commitment.

Agree,and hope.Also,obviously dependant on tonight,i'd rather not their very capable manager get a close up view of what he needs to counter and stop.

Could have done without this fixture in truth.

Ederson
Cancelo Dias Laporte Mendy
B. Silva Rodri De Bruyne
Sterling Aguero G. Jesus

Cancelo, Laporte and Rodri will definitely start. So 3 changes from yesterday definitely. The rest I'm not sure, but those 3 will definitely start at Saturday.

He's already had a view, hasn't he? We absolutely bossed the game at their place around Christmas. Was Lampard still manager then?

Such a strange, strange game to select a team for.

It’s both a nothing game we can afford to rest players, and one in which we can win the league. Fascinated to see what Pep does with it.

We have shown we can beat you when you heavily rotate, so you know, please do that so we can squeeze Liverpool out of the top 4. I'm not sure we can win at the Etihad against your full strength side. I predict 2-1 City, if you're full strength, and 1-2 Chelsea if you rotate more than 6 players in.

probably about right tbf. We wont go full strength for this, could foresee 5 or 6 changes. Wont be a side like the fa cup semi though.

The lads used every ounce of energy last night , body and soul, i think it will be heavy rotation , not so much that we dont win, want it sown up this week
