if city play like we did in the fa cup against them.

Then we lose in league and the champs final

So you think we'll play the same side we did in the semi in the Champs League?
Nah.

Pep has already intimated that he needs to keep rotating as players are not happy being left out of big games. In reality this is the last big game of the league season and I am expecting at least 6 changes.

Felt they were average in the FA Cup SF,
and we just happened to be worse on the day..It's not even about the league,we just need to get that defeat off our backs
Only changes to mid week would be Laporte in for Stones,Rodri for Ferna and Cancelo for Walker
About 'showing our hand',lol there's nothing new under the sun,Tuchel is just as meticulous as Pep,,and with some of the best analysts,they already know how we play,stopping us is another issue,but we need to win,for our psyche,get the league over and done with,jeopardise their top 4 chances,and then see where we need to improve on against their set-up in preparing for the final

Those players were given chances against Leeds and Chelsea in the FA Cup semi final and did fuck all. Let’s go strong and win this and then the squad players can all play against Newcastle and Brighton.

Nah.

Do i think we will play the FA cup team 11 in the final? No

This weekend? Possibly

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Cannot understand people saying make loads of changes.
Win this game then we can rotate all we want until Istanbul

I don't think he'll play that side this weekend, he'll make changes but not to that extent.

I don't think he'll play that side this weekend, he'll make changes but not to that extent.

I hope so, want to get the league out of the way now, play some squad players to keep them fresh.

maybe see Delap, Doyle play a few games?

 

[Airbags Optional]

I can see Laporte and Cancelo coming in for Stones and Walker.
Raz may play instead of Phil and I think Kun will get a start but not sure who for, possibly Kev. Other than that I have no scooby about who Pep will pick

That's what I think. the league is won whatever so politically I think this makes sure that Sterling, Laporte, Rodri, Cancelo and probably Jesus will start. He will want them to play their part.
