Nob

He deserves a K at the front of that mate

I’m surprised VVD isn’t playing too

Could not get Mr Miaggi in due to Covid

Are form turned around when zinchencko came back at left back yet peoples still moan when he’s in the team.

Im always weary of second guessing Pep but dropping Jesus after he's scored 3 big goals in 3 games and scored the equaliser vs Liverpool last time for Mahrez in his worst form as a City player is simply a bad managerial decision IMO.

Not even mentioning the difference in effort levels from the two players in a game where everyone is going to need to lay at 100%, Pep must realise he is never going to get Jesus on a roll and confident if he drops him when he's contributing.

Put him on the wing if you want a false 9.

Come on, we all know Mahrez is full of bottle for the big games. If we have a penalty with 2 minutes to go, who else would we want............. oh shit.

No striker for the biggest game of the season
Find that staggering

Why? It’s tactical. If Pep thinks the best way to exploit space will be a false 9, why is it staggering? He wants to either draw a centre back out to make space for Sterling to dart into. Or he wants the overload in midfield. He also wants a fluid front 3. All 3 can move wherever they want at times. It’s good.

Exactly Karen, but Fern would (get booked)

 

[Pablo ZZZ Peroni]

Their front 3 puts the shits up me

Our front 6 (inc Cancelo in that) puts the shits up Liverpool

Can’t see Oliver on the dippers team sheet ?

He’s playing the false ref role

 

[Stoned Rose]

I take it Pep is playing Mahrez through the middle and leaving Bernardo to do the tracking back re Robertson?
