Marseille (H) - CL | Pre-Match Thread

I think we all knew deep down Pep was always going to go very strong, it’s what he always does. Personally wanted to see Doyle in there with a strong team from the start to see how he performs rather than a 30 minute cameo when the games over as a contest but Pep knows best. god help him if there’s an injury tonight though.

Hell of a bench !

Because we have first teamers that need mins , the kids can wait

Wait for what opportunity? When are they going to get that? This is the most dead rubber fixture of the season.

Zero excuse for players like Mahrez and Gundogan to be playing - they are two of our core first team players and get plenty of minutes.

Perfect opportunity for Doyle and Palmer to be playing in their place.

Mahrez and Gundo should NOT be starting. Literally a totally risk free match and Pep decides to field 2 key players that played 4 days ago.

No Dias?

Bit too strong that side for me.
Pep playing a strong side in a dead rubber with a big game coming up this weekend?

Mahrez and Gundogan need minutes? Why is that exactly?

I thought Zinchenko would be in as I don't see him being in the panel against United

I really don't get Pep when he starts Walker today, I really don't!

Mahrez and Gundo both played 90 mins a few days ago. They really don’t need to play this.
