Pep punishing Laporte and De Bruyne for Saturday, guarantee they'll be OK for Bournemouth

Why did they need punishing ? Just curious..

They didn't, he's making it up.

Laporte could have done with extra match fitness but more than likely after the Southampton debacle he is out of the picture

In boozer in cologne few Belgium lads with stone island on were Newcastle fans fuck United etc, now a few beers later it’s Manc cunts :) oh dear we’re shit now city English in general

Think the team pretty much picks itself, given the absentees:

Ederson
Walker
Akanji
Dias
Ake
Rodri
Bernardo
Gundogan
Grealish
Mahrez
Haaland

When have you ever known Pep pick a side we all expect?

 

[chesterbells]

I actually want to see both co-exist.

Julian as False 9 and Haaland drawing attention of 6 defenders and cleaning up in front of goal.

If I’m honest I’ve been a bit underwhelmed with Alvarez’s impact last few times I’ve watched him. Certainly can fault his effort, just his impact.
If he does start tomorrow, I really hope he gets on the scoresheet or grabs an assist or two.

I am wondering if there is something wrong in Kevin's personal life. He has looked, so down in the last few weeks. I hope I am wrong.

Hopefully partnering with Ruben will improve Akanji's game. Tough game tomorrow, but at least Leipzig will have a go and that will give us opportunities. A draw would n't be a bad result.
