Leverkusen (H) - Tues 25th Nov, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

That’s a disgusting line up

Is that good?

 

[Dodge]

That is a ridiculous line up and will probably backfire badly unless Leverkusen are worse than anybody thought. I mean its a totally different eleven, bar one, than the one that played at Newcastle. I expected a few players to be rested but ten?? Even by Pep's standards that's bold lol. Hopefully it comes off.

Not like you to shit the bed mate ;)

 

[phargrave]

All punished from Saturday’s outing?

Rightly so….

 

[Ajm1985]

Bobb & Savinho need really big games here

 

[Infinite blue]

If it's a great team why are none of them nailed on starters in our strongest XI?

Our strongest 11 is picked from 22 players on a game by game basis. But they are all strong or they wouldn't be there. Have you any idea how good you'd need to be to get a professional contract at a top club?

Could be Pep sees 3 winnable prem league fixtures coming in the space of 10 days and wants those points. We're ok in the CL so far and a couple more wins shouuld get us top 8. So if makes sense in that respect to give a few a breather.

poor Nico is going to be fucked though ;)

 

[OntarioBlue]

I dont mind most of it, just the wings offer fuck all. Be a struggle to score. Hope they make me look stupid

Should be ok, we’re playing without a centre forward.

 

[manimanc]

Pep playing a blinder.
Leverkusen would have set up for Haaland and Doku and Foden playing.
Interesting 11 to say the least, also very brave but if we can rest some tired legs then I'm all for it.
Reijnders will notch tonight.

What..an honestly spectacularly stupid comment

 

[skillman]

Phwoar. That’s certainly…a team of 11 players.

 

[Blue Hefner]

Jesus! Like a league cup line up

 

[TinFoilHat]

John stones as captain is wonderful to see

Experiment for England.

Trafford in goal and Boulders leading the side.

Doing Tommy Toucan a favour.

Shit the bed or not im still here and have been since 1968 so ill have my say whether you like it or not.

 

[I'm Blue]

Time for some of these players to stand up and be counted.

we'll have to disagree there. Our strongest XI is exactly that, with perhaps 2 or 3 options depending on tactics or the opposition. This isn't our strongest XI in any circumstance whatsoever

 

[Blue Maverick]

Pep does know it’s the carabou cup in 3 weeks and not tonight!

Turn off & turn back on at 19.59.

 

[bellsouth]

This 11 has to be trusted to do the job, let’s see how it goes, certainly a huge opportunity for them all.

 

[Saddleworth2]

Wow. Just wow. 10 changes. Didn’t see that coming. How are 11 players that haven’t played together expected to do this? Midfield of Gonzales Lewis Reijnders. New back four?
Ok. Let’s see how that works out.
