Yes you’d think so especially with doku and savinho who aren’t the greatest at tracking back,but let’s see ..

Prob gonna be Kev and Omar as number 8s with O’Reilly going into midfield next to Bernie in possession.

Out of possession a lot of mayhem

 

[deano ou812]

no fucker was prepared for that line up, when was the last time we played without a holding midfielder......oh wait

Ahhhh yes the old playing without a holding midfielder ploy ..

 

[Gray]

Everybody who picked Ederson just does not understand Pep as a person, he stays loyal.

If we had stuck with our Cup keeper in the Wigan final, that goal would probably have been saved.

 

[CumbriaCity]

Looks like Pep wants to be 3-0 up by half time then hoik the attackers off and play with 7 midfielders lol

 

[Nour]

Nico could have played instead of bernado

 

[City Raider]

Attacking line up and Phil only makes the bench. Says it all about his season.

 

[blueparrot]

Could be playing Doku and Savinho as wingbacks

After thinking you’re a lunatic, the more I think about it maybe, with O’Reilly KDB midfield Marmoush Haaland up front.Could be onto something.

 

[Scottyboi]

Don't have a scooby how this will turn out, but I might need a crate of Staropramen to get through it.

 

[robbieh]

Who is he saving for Tuesday?

 

[axlgod]

I like it.

Good to see etchosketch on the bench.

Come On City!!!!

 

[jimharri]

Why did we sign Nico Gonzalez?

Haven't you heard? He ran over Pep's beloved cat.

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Fortune favours the brave - hopefully.

Or the foolish

 

[blue cigar]

That's the spirit, get behind the lads. Knob

Cup final and he plays an 11 that’s never played together. Cant wait for this season to end. Nico needs moving on in the summer. behind the lads.

 

[Macca77macca]

Reckon Bernardo has come in for him last minute.

Bernardo who Pep has played consistently, without fail, that Bernardo?

 

[No1 was Colin bell]

Where’s kova?

Now know not quite fit aka being saved for Tuesday.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

Ahhhh yes the old playing without a holding midfielder ploy ..

In a major cup final. Hmm. Let's see now who could it be? And that was an almighty cock up.

He clearly wants to gift Palace their first trophy imo. Madness.

 

[youngbob]

If they beat our press we are utterly fucked aren't we.

 

[Rodri’s ACL]

Very harsh, especially after Rico vs Forest.

 

[WallyA]

All out attack I see.

 

[NorthamptonBlue]

Nico could have played instead of bernado

Nico has looked a bit too easy to bully. He just needs time I’m sure.
