He has his mate on var , no wonder he is relaxed

Give over with the conspiracy nonsense.

Too complacent for me. Same approach failed against Leeds and Chelsea. Need a balance between resting key players and not inviting unnecessary pressure re winning the PL. I don’t see that line up creating very much

Need to rest players, which means a line up like today’s. Gone from having loads of midfields in the team to have two holding midfielders. Should be very interesting To see how we line up.

Fair play to Hodgson, very complimentary about us and no bitterness at all. A true gentleman of the game.

He’s hardly going to slag us off before the game, we might stuff em yet with this team

Crazy strong side considering how many we've rested!
Should be a good game.

Wonder what squad finishes the game

 

[Revolver]

Fully understand Pep resting our best players for Tuesday. It means that whilst we could win today it makes it harder. It’s a team of a lot of players not playing well or coming back from injury. Need Mendy, Stirling and Torres to really show up today. Would take a point.

Haha, no thanks

Don't think Aguero or Rodri will finish it.

Expect a copy of the vs game vs Leeds and semi vs Chelsea. Just hope the result will be different. If any of the ones that need the minutes to get back to being match fit or back to any form, show Pep a convincing display, we will get the win.

Pleased he's rested key players, still strong team. Got to think of Tues night too

 

[ctwrd]

That's the spirit.
You can't spend your life having a go at posters for slagging players when you do exactly the same with Mendy.

Superb post.
