Who is their equivalent Michael carrick?

Missed out on Kaiser Ralf unfortunately.

Missed out on Kaiser Ralf unfortunately.

Instead of the Ralf, do they know the Elf is without a job?

 

[14aguero]

It is ironic that the franchise the current United coach had built is crumbling. Maybe, he is just a more polished version of Van Gaal.

Achim Beierlorzer

Would hope pep rests ederson, walker, cancelo, dias, rodri, bernardo and gundogan.

Asterisked players probably need some minutes in their legs.

Bench including Carson, Mbete, Wilson-Esbrand, Lavia.

A real shame for Delap and Edozie that their injuries mean they miss out on a CL game they would almost certainly have played a part in

 

[asahartford1]

Steffen, ZInchenko, Palmer and Macatee should start.

As should Kev who needs minutes.

I’d also start Jack to let him gain momentum and more opportunity to fully gel.

Keep the big lads at home.

And some of the small ones like Sterling and Bernardo

Looks like I'll have to take the day off then.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Leipzig and Brugge fighting for the EL spot, no doubt Pep will go pretty strong out of respect to Brugge

Ederson
Walker Stones Ake Zinchenko
De Bruyne Dinho Grealish
Mahrez Palmer Jesus

I agree with the sentiments, but sometimes you just have to look after yourselves.
I wonder if Pep's comments about a threadbare squad were in fact a lead in to this.
Decent 11, but suspect Steffan for Eddie and a replacement right back

 

[CookiesForCream]

All the usual suspects need a rest.
Berni, Rodri, Gundo, Diaz at the very least.

You are the second person today who has overlooked Cancelo. He needs a rest more than Gundo & Dias.

 

[ojeme]

We need to go full strength here so that if UEFA decide to act funny and remove three points from us we’ll still be group leaders.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Would hope pep rests ederson,

Ed hardly needs resting. The most tiring thing he has to do in most matches is maintain his concentration. That said, Zak's a good keeper, and I'd play him, because you're not going to hold on to a keeper as good as that if you never give him proper game time.

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Steffen, Cancelo, Stones, Ake, Zinchenko, Fernandinho, McAtee, De Bruyne, Palmer, Grealish, Mahrez.

 

[ninjamonkey]

Ederson, dias, cancelo, walker, Rodri, Bernardo all shouldn't even be getting on the plane.

Steffen
(best academy right back we've got, Egan-Riley?)
Stones
Ake

Fernandinho

Mahrez

Could remove any of the front 3 for sterling if Pep wants to get him more minutes and hopefully more goals.

The bench then needs to be mainly kids with perhaps gundogan, foden and sterling if Pep feels any of them need minutes

[waspish]

Think it be a very strong team plus palmer Just because Every victory lands a team €2.8m while even a draw will land them a handy €930,000.

Agree 100%.
We certainly don’t owe anything whatsoever to UEFA or to Club Brugge, some of whose fans seriously injured a blue in his 60s. Fuck them all
