Fucking hell, why do we do this.

Just play your strongest team, we have six days until our next game. Crazy team selection

 

[Mancity1980]

I’m not happy with that. Pep is again rotating against our most in form opponent, if we win great, but we risk giving them encouragement for the final.

I love how one game Pep plays all the midfielders, then next game, well I don't have anymore, so now almost no midfielders.

 

[AlgarveBlu]

Going to be a Mard arse and cancel my title celebratory drinks planned for tonight ;-( oh well cmon City

 

[Irlamblue]

pick your best team... FFS

 

[Impeccable One]

I have no doubt whatsoever that this is Pep messing with Chelsea and not wanting them to play against our CL starting 11

 

[Deleted member 77198]

Ok, Im confused, 5 at the back, one in the middle and 4 up front. Pep messing with us again.

3-3-4

Spot the midfield. We will get over-run and lose heavily but it won't matter in the long run. Good chance to make some money at the bookies. A fiver on 2-4 at 200/1 looks tempting.

Kevin was ice packed after match so pretty much expected that he missed out altogether

 

[DenisLawBackHeel74]

Come on! We all knew he’d throw a curve ball today. There are benefits to not giving them our full strength side, I think he did that on purpose for the semi too....If we can beat them today with that line up then pep will once again be hailed a genius.

 

[The1nvisibleMan]

looks to me like a 3-3-4!

Could be fucking anything to be honest

 

[axlgod]

Relax, it’ll be a cake walk.

Come On City!!!

 

[kaz7]

Get a grip

No

 

[PhdWave]

LOL Pep is insane haha..Seems like he does not want to reveal his cards before CL final which is completely understandable.

 

[we are the east stand]

Looks like a brain fart.

too many changes for me that weren’t needed.

hoping to be proved wrong

 

[mccity]

Well anyone who wanted us to tactically hold back got their wish at least.

 

[MCFC1993]

From a team full a midfielders to a team with nearly no midfielders. I love the madness.

Big message if we win but no stress with this one.

 

[mancity1]

What's happened to Mount?

 

[AshtonBlueMooner]

I want him to go strong but knowing Pep he'll probably go,
Eddy
Cancelo, Ake, Laporte, Mendy
Rodri,
Torres, Doyle, Sterling
Aguero, Jesus

Just out with my predicted team on Thursday morning. Dias in instead of Doyle. I'll put the Champers back in the garage.............
For now (fingers crossed)

 

[whp.blue]

Well that lineup is very underwhelming, looks like Pep is building pressure for the remaining games.
I honestly think we will struggle to win this today.
