KDB for Gundo in last 30 mins

Ederson, Walker, Cancelo, Dias, Rodri & Bernie should not be on the flight

 

[Blu3m00n91]

Steffan Cancelo Stones Laporte Zinc; Fernandinho De Bruyne Palmer; Sterling Grealish Mahrez

 

[Delphinho]

Oduroh from the academy as he is our first choice Rb in U-23.

No he’s not

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Must be an opportune time to rest a few.

Rodri, Dias, Bernardo, Cancelo, Walker, could do with a break.

 

[levets]

Draw…
I think we’ll play a predominantly second string

 

[FantasyIreland]

An amazing opportunity to rest our first choice players and give others game time/experience.

I hope Pep takes it.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I don’t want to see the likes of Dias, Rodri, Cancelo and Bernardo anywhere near the starting eleven.

I hope McAtee, Palmer, Ake, Zinchenko, De Bruyne and maybe another youth player start the game.

 

[Marvin]

Remember the club get £2.5m performance bonus for a win in the group stages so City will be trying to win the game.

Remember the club get £2.5m performance bonus for a win in the group stages so City will be trying to win the game.

If we play loads of kids it'd improve the value of ALL players within the academy and £2.5m would soon be recovered in fees that's also assuming we'd lose.

dinho,kdb,foden,mahrez,grilish,jesus wiil start.

 

[Bozzie]

Whilst I never want us to lose, the upside of a Leipzig victory would be the chance to wash my 'lucky' shirt which, after 6 wins on the bounce is starting to whiff a bit!

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Would like to see McAtee and Palmer start this game and give some players a well earned rest , wouldnt even have some of the players on the plane give them a few days off and fill the bench with academy lads , its a dead rubber match no need to take any injury risks

 

[Stoned Rose]

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.

 

[bavarian blue]

Leipzig sacked their manager.

 

[west didsblue]

Hard lineup to predict.. I imagine Pep will give out some CL debuts?

Steffen
Wilson-Esbrand
Stones
Ake
Zinchenko

Dinho
Mcatee
De Bruyne

Palmer
Jesus
Mahrez

Foden and Grealish for Jesus and Mahrez. They need minutes.

 

[Zinchilla]

Leipzig sacked their manager.

Pretty sure Mahrez zinchenko Grealish de bruyne Fernandinho Steffen ake and possibly stones will be the senior players involved

 

[hihosilva]

If I get this right please note I'm not leaking info.
Steffen
Walker Stones Ake Zinchenko
Debruyne Fernandinho Palmer
Mahrez Jesus Grealish

 

[Deleted member 87819]

Leipzig sacked their manager.

Unpredictable lineup then

 

[117 M34]

Leipzig sacked their manager.

Who is their equivalent Michael carrick?
