Good to see Tommy Doyle in the starting line up.
Really hope he makes it with us.
I'm a soft old bar steward and always feel a bit emotional when the boy is playing.

Don't like Garcia at RB, think it could be exploited. Otherwise a decent team.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Just maybe garcia is training well and being a professional and that is why he plays , to give the others rest

COME ON BLUEBOYS

I agree, if he wants to leave then so be it, we are still paying him and the manager is entitled to pick him

Those complaining Foden shouldn’t be there are wrong in my opinion.
Pep believes he is good for this, he will control the tempo, and get to a point when he can remove him.
We complain he doesn’t play enough, let him play, it’s what he loves. He’s hungry and eager to take us all the way. Let him show all of us we are wrong.

As Walker has been ruled out I reckon this is the team Pep will put out


...............Steffen
Garcia....THB....Laporte...Mendy
.............Fernandinho
.........Doyle............Foden
Mahrez........Jesus............Torres

THB is RB

Garcia isn't paid by the club to be the subject of transfer rumours - his job is to train and play football. So let him do that.

Y

I thought it was a very obvious and easy team to pick

i would never have put Garcia at RB.

 

[sir baconface]

I’m OK with the selection.

 

[kaz7]

Phil doesnt play , people moan

He does play, people moan

Got to love this place

In general I much prefer starting a strong side that kills the game off early and bringing on young/backup subs, rather than hoping a weak team can do the job and needing to bring the big guns off the bench.
