Alvarez and Akanji in the mid is suicidal

Oh fuck off

 

[mosssideblue]

Shocking line-up!!!

Go on, explain why

 

[Goater=Legend]

Good team, just hope we have more control than we did at Stamford Bridge.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Akanji partnering Rodri in DM again. Sigh

Pep seems to be the only person who thinks this is a good idea.

 

[Damien10]

For years this fan base was screaming for more direct players. Now they don’t even want one direct player in the lineup haha.

Phillips sent off for West Ham I see…

 

[stonerblue]

Behave

Fannies everywhere. They should fuck off to the match thread

It’s going to be open. Just have to back our quality to win out.

 

[JakobC47]

We need to up the goal diff. Falling behind after Liverpool and Arse today.

Stones must be feeling it abit then and Pep is protecting him as it makes no sense otherwise. Bernardo did have a nasty cut to be fair but if we need him then he will come on.

It concerns me that Bernardo is on the Bench and we continue with Alverez, while I have nothing against Alverez I just feel that Pep is playing him to convince him to stay with us. He is too good to be coming off the bench every game but personally I feel we have more balance when Berny is on the pitch.
