Can someone give me a rationale reason as to why Garcia is getting a game. I am all in favour of giving Dias, Stones and Laporte a rest but Garcia is leaving, would have left last year and shouldn't be anywhere near the squad let alone the starting 11. Would rather give someone from the EDS a run out or play Ferny there, anyone but him

I knew some would comment on the starting 11. No matter what 11 would’ve started. I think Pep mentioned enough the togetherness from the squad. And yes, both loanee Carson and wannagoaway Garcia are part of that.


I think Pep will use the last two games to prepare for the CL final

Great, Andy Cole. Looks thick, is thick.

Looks like Joleon got dressed in the dark!

Pep the greatest coach and everything but sometimes he just takes the piss. Fucking Garcia.

I'm confused, do you want Doyle to play in goal or at centre back?

No clue but maybe he meant the CB Callum Doyle that’s done well in the youth squad this season but I don’t think so :)

Don't want Garcia anywhere near our first team. Good luck and we'll done to Carlson... No Aguero? Not even on the bench?!

De Bruyne and Aguero not fully fit, apparently
