Think back to the early days of his first season with us. He played inverted LB/RB which was mindblowing then (Clichy & Sagna?), and I'm getting those vibes again. Even had Kolarov as CB! But started to go pear shaped after a 3-3 draw at Celtic in the CL.I'm going for av draw. I think we're still getting used to haaland and the change he brings. I also fear pep will persevere with the inverted wingback tactics that left us exposed previously.
Saturday 3 pm KOs aren’t shown live By Sky or BT. You’ll have to find some other way to watch.Anyone know what TV station this will be on if not Sky?
That Celtic game showed other teams how to get at us, we suffered for quite awhile after that.Think back to the early days of his first season with us.

It's to raise money for a friend who is affected with a horrible disease.Will first need to see who returns unscathed from the ridiculous trip to Barcelona. Pep needs a new brain at times. What on earth was he thinking? if he wants us to donate to charity then simply write a bloody cheque rather than place our precious team in harm's way.
Zaha doesn't hustle like St Maximus does.I did see that with Zaha but with St maximus getting joy off the left might lead to Vieira playing him more wide
But he’s a better diver. Palace guaranteed a penalty on SaturdayZaha doesn't hustle like St Maximus does.
That would be my team (assuming all are fit), though I'd probably have Bernardo a bit deeper. Gundogan doesn't really deserve to miss out but Bernardo does give us a bit more energy in the middle.Ederson
Walker, Stones, Dias, Cancelo
Rodri
De Bruyne, Bernardo
Foden, Haaland, Grealish
Every time we drop points, it's lauded as the way to beat us. It seldom turns out to be the caseObviously we have more than enough to blow Palace away - you just fear that Sunday will be a template for how we can be got at in the new system. That said, it was a match where a few had off days, and we still should've won so fingers crossed it was a kick up the arse and back to winning ways.
And hopefully get through tonight with no injuries and a some good minutes in some players legs.
To be fair it's usually the same way. It is though very difficult to achieve, which is why it rarely happens.Every time we drop points, it's lauded as the way to beat us. It seldom turns out to be the case
Knowing Pep he'll probably rotate.Do we reckon Alvarez will be getting in the starting 11 soon? Any plans to play him alongside Haaland?
I remember that season quite well and yes I get the same feelings too. It might be a quite up and down season for us.Think back to the early days of his first season with us.
