CL - Porto (H) | Pre-Match Thread

Another WTF selection from Pep. Stones must know his days are numbered when a player who doesn't want to be here, and is arguably a poorer player at the moment, gets in the side ahead of him.

How shit must John Stones be if he can't get in the side ahead if a young lad who doesn't want to be here.

yep, this basically says to him. You have no chance John. Go.

Good to see the Spanish Catalan quota alive and kicking with Garcia inclusion!

Well clearly Pep don't agree, and neither do I.



In my eyes, definitely. His recent performances hasn't been that good but he proved himself earlier. I like his defending. Very intelligent. Once he leaves us though, he can fvck off. But until that day comes, he's our player.

Do you like his 35% aerial duel percentage? Do you like his strength, tackling ability, speed? What about his defensive game do you like exactly?

Just an opinion obviously no proof. But feel like if garcia was an english youth player who asked to leave and blamed him not moving on city, he would be no way near the side.
Stones said he wants to fight for his place, should be in ahead of him considering he wanted out.
Im not having stones isnt good enough to start ahead of garcia either b4 anyone says that.

That’s the most infuriating thing about the team he’s selected

I’ve said all along he doesn’t like Stones,another way that’s justified by him tonight

 

[pudge]

Oh joy, 90 minutes of Gundogan and Rodri standing right beside each other

How shit must John Stones be if he can't get in the side ahead if a young lad who doesn't want to be here.

It's entirely possible he's recovering from an injury and/or Pep doesn't want to risk him tonight with both Ake and Laporte injured.

 

[paulchapo]

Looking at that midfield and Garcia it's going to be a stressful night.

Well it won't do his confidence much good if he's fit, that's for sure.
