Wonder if Pep would surprise everyone and especially the rags by starting young Palmer, who'd go on to score on his derby debut. Or is that too Roy of the Rovers stuff?

 

[BrianW]

Please, Pep and players, smash these Rags for once. They are dogshit.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

If we lose this one, we need to concentrate on the Champions League. We should be going for the kill, no matter what their forwards can rescue, their defence is as soft as Angel Delight.

 

[Berts Neck]

Those ragamuffins will get a stuffin. Ole sacked, and Brendan new manager.

 

[Withnail]

Ederson
Walker
Dias
Stones
Zinchenko
Rodri
Bernardo
Gundogan
Foden
Jesus
Sterling

Sterling wide right, foden wide left, jesus upfront.

We need all the energy and movement we can possibly have in the side, this team maximises that. Zinchenko over cancelo for the stability. Get at them hard like Chelsea and Liverpool and we have it sewn up by halftime. Play without the intensity in our game and we get bummed on the counter.

Like your starting 11, we are a lot more dangerous team when we press intensely and allow our opponents no time on the ball eg
Chelsea away this season . Jesus, Bernardo and Foden will provide the press and Sterling has the pace to trouble their defence.

4-6-0
Confuse the fuck out of them

Isn't that what we play?

That's not an issue. Ole does that every week anyway.

 

[Tbilisi]

Out of all our players he is the one we really don't want to lose for this game

Pep mind games maybe? As you say first name on the sheet against these one trick ponies.

We cannot afford to go eight points behind Chelski so adding to the fact it is a derby gam eits a must win game , previous recent derby games have been played when we have been in a comfortable position , with the Rags playing out of their skin to appease their plastic fanbase. Beat City or avoid defeat and their season is complete , much like we used to be , but if we lose this derby game it will have ramifications to out title defence , so i think Pep will be focussed on three points more than any of his previous derby games.
If we start quickly close them down we know their players cannot handle it , i expect them to start with five defenders and two holding midfield the same formation that beat Spursy , but it wont work we are not a shite Spursy team , an early goal will f*ck the paperboys plan up and he doesnt have the football intelligence to have a Plan B.
If they are losing at half time he will have to ask fakeronaldo what to do next with Baconface dribbling and shaking in the corner of the dressing room with a version of tourrettes shouting expletives about Bastard noisy neighbours and Not in my f*cking lifetime.

Take the game to them, smother then like the dips did, we are more than capable, assume fake will score at least once and go over every time ruby breathes on him with olivar ready to give a pen so we have to take our chance and get some fucker in the box !
