Still not keen on Gundogan and Fernandinho playing alongside each other (as witnessed against Lyon), but it all depends on how Pep sets up the team and tactics.

Same here. Prefer one or the other generally but if I remember correctly they both played against Cardiff and did well but I suspect Hoffenheim will be a different sort of test. Surprised Bernardo isn't playing instead of Gundogan but he has played a lot of football and perhaps needs a bit of a rest.
 
That's the frustrating thing. If he's not going to make the bench why not give him half an hour, rest up someone who's got to play today.

Honestly the more I think about giving Foden 2 minutes the more you realise there's absolutely no reason to do it. He's played 15+ games now, it's not like getting on the pitch and having 1 touch is going to either improve him or mean that much.
It's not like we're playing a top side either.
Once we'd gone 2 up that game was dead, great time to give him some minutes.
Not had many criticisms of pep but his treatment of Diaz and foden doesn't encourage me for their future development
