Fuck knows what the team is going to be, just win please City. Everything comes down to Newcastle then.

IMO, Pep will take risks with the selection to give a rest to key players before Madrid on Tuesday.

Ederson
Walker/Lewis
Akanji
Laporte
Ake
Gundogan
Foden/Phillips
Bernardo
Mahrez
Alvarez
Foden/Palmer

If we need goals, Haaland, Grealish and KDB (if fit) to come on. Walker, Ake and Bernie to get subbed off in the 2nd half. Alternatively, if KDB is fit he may start and play 60 minutes. The 5 subs rule can help us navigate the fixture congestion around Real games.

it never works when we have to bring the big boys on to try and rescue things mate? If we need them anyway then is it not better to start strong and then hopefully be able to make changes as the game goes on? It could be THE pivotal weekend in the title race imo so we must win

Another bus job of 5 4 1.

No Phillips. If needs be, play with 10!

We have to look at this as the only priority right now. It's probably the most winnable of our remaining games even with them scrapping for survival and a literal new manager bounce.

We do not want to be going into games at Brighton or Brentford needing the win. Psychologically, if we can win and arsenal go into their game on Sunday 4 points behind, they could make mistakes and give us more wriggle room in our remaining games.

Not saying for a second that we're incapable of winning every single game remaining, I just like to reduce uncertainty. Strong team, 3 points, then worry about Madrid. We have 2 legs to overcome them also.

This. maybe rest KDB still and have him for the slow RM midfield of Kroos and modric(if back). apart from that full strength v fat sams duffers. get 5-0 up and then bring on the back up. ..... but not Phillips .

Thanks bfs team talk done.

 

[INDEEDY DEEDY]

Is Palmer still a consideration? Seems to have disappeared

He is injured. For a young player he seems to pick up a lot of injuries.

Fat Sam was on talksport yesterday saying Leeds have been shipping too many goals and it’s the first thing held sort out. Get ready for the worst game of anti football you’ve ever seen then with two banks of 5 all game it won’t be pretty
