I’m sure Josep will do his best by him whatever happens.

Why don't people call Pep, Sep If his first name is Josep?

 

[Akpowell]

Right, Sep it is

You should know Blatter than to ask that question

 

[Kinkys Left Foot]

Pep clearly said in the post match presser versus Fulham that we will comply with the integrity of the competition as Olympiakos and Marseilles are vying for the Europea League.
I expect the big hitters to be rested but a stronger side than most anticipate.
Pep knows his players and who needs rest and who needs minutes for fitness or rhythm. I expect a win but it might not be pretty.
The rags will have to be in Deutschland going balls out against a very motivated Leipzig out for revenge. Martial already looks out with a groin from yesterday's West Ham great escape.
Some far we've played 4 of the top echelon, 2 losses and 2 draws is not good enough. We need to start getting wins, let's start right here at Old Toilet against this shit shower.

--------------Steffen
Cancelo-Stones-Ake-Zinchenko
--------------Doyle
-------Bernardo---Gundogan
---Bernabe--Nmecha--Torres

I would like Harwood-Bellis to get a game but Ake needs games too. Perhaps 60 mins for one and 30 mins for the other

I think Pep may go with more experience

Surely Cole Palmer over Bernabe?

 

[lancs blue]

Steffen, Cancelo, Zinchenko, Laporte, Ake, Doyle, Foden, Bernardo, Palmer, Sterling, Torres.
2-1 City

I've a suspicion Laporte will be back at the swamp so possibly THB or Garcia alongside Ake, otherwise that's pretty much the XI I'd start with.

Bernabe is awful,and why would you play an inexperienced midfielder as a centre forward?

No point risking in this one. Give some players a run out, Laporte, Aguero if fit. Derby is more important.

4-2-3-1 Formation

Prediction: 3-1 City
Easy, dead rubber game. I expect us to breeze through it.

Not a dead rubber as far as Marseille are concerned. I predict a cautious 1-1.
