Let's leave out sergio for a cup final

And Kev

Good team. Jesus will press and harry them. Got it right recalling Mahrez last week, so let’s hope Guardiola is right again today.

he will but goals win games.......and Jesus as good as he is, is not the finisher that Aguero is....he aint even close

 

[normskih]

Aguero in the bench. Hmm...

He's had a week off to rest, maybe Pep thinks we need a bit more pace up front at the start of the match? Then again, who knows what Peps thinking is;)

 

[DavidWhitesUnderpants]

No Serge ? A bit of a head scratcher to say the least, but Pep knows best.

 

[normskih]

Assume im the only one happy that Gabby is starting

Most probably my friend;)

I just hope jesus has been taught the offside rule :-)

I bet he will be off 2 or 3 times

Jesus is going to be like Mahrez last week. Definitely scoring.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Pep has shown some loyalty to the players who have contributed to the run to the final , so i am surprised Foden is'nt involved , but its a team as usual full of goals and if we are struggling Kun,KDB and Sane could swing the game from the bench.

People must realise that Gabby has started every game up to this final so why would Pep leave him out of the final?

10 goals in 7 games v watford sergio has

I'm okay with Jesus starting and Aguero, KDB and Sane coming from the bench if needed. It's still a head scratcher of a decision in an FA Cup final.

I'm okay with that team, it can be changed if needs be. My only doubt with Jesus starting is that he doesn't have the fear factor Aguero does but it's not a huge problem as he's on the bench.

Why the fuck would you be happy with that?

Feckin hell he's still scored 19 in all comps this season hardly like we are starting Coradi is it?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

He probably sees a weakness of Watford’s as being their centre backs when under pressure. So Jesus to press them and force them into rushed balls forward that we deal with easily.

 

[BucksBlue]

Don't forget Jesus on the cross .......... from Kev to win the semi.

Quite surprised to see Sterling keep his place as he's been quite poor lately, thought it was the perfect opportunity to play Sane. No Aguero is a surprise but Jesus will be seriously up for it.

10 goals in 7 games v watford sergio has

Stop bloody moaning.

 

[manimanc]

Pep and Sergio have had a barny...

Well I am hoping the Watford defence was expecting to square off against Kun and are now a bit surprised that Jesus is playing. Maybe they did not prepare for that much.
