Gotta break our Palace hoodoo!

Ederson
Walker
Stones
Dias
Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne
Bernardo Silva
Mahrez
Grealish
Haaland

Kyle needs to play RB Sat with Zaha, lets hope Pep learns from Barcode, good LW needs a RB not DM/midfield being pulled out of position

He could have switched walker to play a more conventional role yesterday when it was clear that saint-maximin was getting too much space, however, he didn't. Not sure if anything will be different against palace.

yeah the system yesterday first half just didnt work and it created mayhem for us yesterday! Pep needs to fuck it off and stick to what we do well.

Referee is important in this one, needs to get on top of spoiling tactics and Zaha rolling around otherwise it could be a long afternoon.

 

[Mike N]

Can’t wait for this one. We’re due a win against them.

 

[Gigant]

Is it about a time for Alvarez start?

 

[uwe rosler 28]

I think we will go for more control in the wide areas to stop the potential counters.

Walker

1st Imagination. Having double block on the right with Walker RCB - Cancelo RB combo, to prevent any kind of threat coming from Zaha and following full back + dobule pivot , for easier ball control , aerials duels winning and basically having more "bodies" and "legs" in the middle, something we missing badly yesterday. Rodri was daying at the moments.
Not nesesserly with Phillips , Bernardo should do similiar. With Grealish coming back from injury , Foden time for bench, right time to try Haaland and Alvarez together and see how opponents defence going to cope with them..

 

[Gigant]

And more realistic one with proper tactics I hope. Gundo si bigger goal threat than Bernardo, but Bernardo in this kind games is must have thing. Rodri cant to everything on his own. KDB and Gundogan are far away from him ,for the most time in the game. Really hope for Bernardo CM mins... Also on the left idk with is the more clever idea.. having selfish Foden or post injury Grealish. Pep have to figure things out. .. hope that new St Maximin doest coming again...

For the first time in ages I'm a bit worried about a game!
Be a tough un.
