Preston (A) | Pre-Match Thread

Will be interesting to see such a young defence. Would have thought Guardiola would have given Fernandinho a run out in his DM role protecting the youngsters with his typical all action display. However he has chosen Gundogan which although a worthy 1st team player I do not feel he gives the protection that Fernandinho could give or Rodri for that matter to the CB,s.

At least I would think Preston will be a decent test for Eric Garcia and THB.

Good to see the academy lads get a chance but I'm worried about this team he has put out in defence.
Very surprised hes made so many changes.

Alpha Dionkou, 17 year old right back.

First name alpha. Right back. Seen him play a few times. Big strong lad and always stood out to me. Pleased for him.

Cheers lads, he's managed to pass by me.

Wow, that team is a ton of fun. I'm excited for this

I like the line-up.

 

[The Black Shed]

I'm sure somebody here got 10/11 of this line up. Played sir (or madam)

Pathetic comment.

Maybe she just had a hot curry

Does anyone know if Preston are playing their normal first team?

Is calling you a dick against the COC?

Not at all, crack on :)

What is the PNE team like? They have made lots of changes in earlier rounds.
