This is fantastic btw:

Edit: Zinchenko and Tommy Doyle are in the away end as well.

 

[Nellies left peg]

Bollocks, why have a squad then

To cover for when the best 11 have injuries like Sane Laporte and KDB and often Aguero

 

[Ric]

Zinchenko and Harwood-Bellis in the away end tonight, good stuff.

Your understanding of 'best 11' differs from Pep. This may be the best 11 for the formation and tactics he believes will win the day.

That would be fair enough if you could get your head around Bravo been part of any best 11, ever. Anyway I have had my say now let's all get behind the team.

 

[SWPISHOME]

It's crazy playing with no Jesus or Aguero, Its not like they both start every week together. Eddie hasn't played since Wolves away either so not like he needs a rest. Hope this doesn't backfire on us.

Come On City.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

And just in case...

Shit cup, bigger fish to fry....

There, I've said it...

 

[kaz7]

They are set up to counter

Pep not giving anything away,yes,no maybe

 

[CITYROBBO]

No we shouldn't. This is a tough game for both sides.

United isn't a tough game not like it used to be.. We should be controlling this against how average the united team is!

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Lol. Aight I'll give you that one. There is no justification for Bravo over Eddy tactically. But I think the backup keeper is guaranteed the cup games. It sux now coz most don't rate Bravo, but it's a good way to attract talent generally.

Bravo has been a fine servant to this club, and we are trophies in the bag because of his performances.

And, to add additional context, if I recall correctly from the pre-match thread, most blues were pleased with that team.

This is the key point most of the flappers miss. That they all celebrated the lineup at the time. :)
