He's just trying to juggle the squad with so many injuries whilst still trying to put out a team to win each game

Overthinking then, ok.

People! jack and doku are both just recovering from injury. You just can’t force them to start after coming back from long layoff

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Whats the reason ?

He’s obviously not fit enough for 3 full games in a week. Pep plays the long game. Why can’t people see this?

 

[heslops barnet]

I never moan about Pep but Grealish and Doku were both brilliant against Forest and I can’t for the life of me understand why they’ve been dropped.

And Gundog getting another start?
I know injuries and the like but……

 

[pudge]

the only reason he would have been replaced at h/t was injury.

That and the fact Anthony fucking Elanga tore him a new arsehole

 

[richards30]

Pep gets it right against Forest and then drops Doku and Grealish :-(

 

[super_city_si]

Oh well. There’s the end to the winning run.

 

[urban genie]

I'll never get Pep at times, Grrlish and Kev parynered well behinfld haaland, and berny had a better game on the wing than recently the 4 attacking midfielders look in harmony not the messy unbalanced one recently, why mess with it

 

[MCFC1993]

No very confident seeing that lineup, hopefully De Bruyne is enough.

 

[mancboy]

Who would you play instead of rico ? We are on bare bones again

genuinely and i have already said this i would play simpson - pusey and play gvardiol at left back, pep has a real hard on for lewis but he has been tried in so many positions and he doesnt excel in any of them
