Good line-up. Finally Bernardo is back in the eleven. Goddamn I missed that.

Once again a day after Pep bigs up Foden.................

 

[Cityinmud]

Do we really need Zinchenko and Mendy on the bench?

pep must have a plan. We have big games without walker coming up. This is the only l game to sort full backs situation before chelsea, Everton and rags

 

[cleavers]

No start for foden again.... fs

He doesn't start Phil more than once every 7 days, so it's hardly a surprise.

Generally pretty happy with that lineup but am I the only one who thinks Sterling needs to be taken off the undroppable list and spend some time on the bench.

Not sure we really need Gundo and Rodri against Newcastle.

Do we really need Zinchenko and Mendy on the bench?

Agreed. Newcastle will be in a damage limitation mode this evening. Not sure why we need two defensive/holding type midfielders against them. Foden in, in place of Gundogan would have been my choice.

We can’t be laboured today we need one touch quick movement and passing use the width well.

 

[RobinHood]

No Mahrez? Who can we, "FFS", today?

 

[citytill1die84]

He’s right, “few goals” means not many goals

Oh haha, let him off then.

 

[mosssideblue]

Decent team. Would have preferred Foden in for Sterling but quite happy with that selection.

Totally agree
