Monaco (a) pre-match thread

Clichy and Sagna again?

They might not be that great but they're the best full backs that we currently have, especially from a defensive viewpoint.

 

[deano ou812]

No, it was Stones and Otamendi with Clichy at LB

Hmmm don't know if that's a good thing or not now..

 

[Yates]

There's no way Pep sends a team out to "hold out" he said as much in his post match interview the other week. Attack so you don't have to defend as much. He's going out as per usual

 

[PragueBlue]

So Not threat from our full backs then. Fern offers little in an attacking sense anymore either. Strange team selection to say the least.

Seems quite a reasonable team selection under the circumstances. We have a 2 goal lead to try and protect.

• 1Danijel Subašić (GK)
• 2Fabinho
• 5Jemerson
• 10Bernardo Silva
• 14Tiemoué Bakayoko
• 18Valère Germain (C)
• 19Djibril Sidibé
• 23Benjamin Mendy
• 24Andrea Raggi
• 27Thomas Lemar
• 29Kylian Mbappé

I've taken an instant dislike to their number 24.

Why strange ? we have to be defensive as well as attacking and yaya and zabba can come on later if we need to get more goals

 

[marco]

cant see them not scoring so its how many IMO,i think they will get 2 or 3 so we have to score 2 minimum to be sure,by saying all that my calculations are just as likely to go tits up and it finishes 0-0

Unlike you to see the negatives. Pep is hopeless isn't he?

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Clichy and Sagna again?

You mean our best right back and best left back? Yes, those two again.

Good selection in my mind — there's balance and a real creative spark. Hopefully Dinho can cover the midfield as will be needed tonight.
