RB Leipzig (H) - Tue 14th March, 20:00 | Pre-Match Thread

[DMA's]

Are City better or worse with Foden in the lineup?

I understand why foden isnt starting tbh, pep wants total control and doesn’t want us giving the balls away cheaply so he has gone with Bernardo and grealish as the wing options. Makes sense as they are better than foden at keeping possession.

my issue with the side is the lack of full backs. Seems overly cautious to me

Match Day thread has started an hour early tonight.

i've seen some meltdown and overreactions from this forum over lineups but this one has truly stumped me. barely anything wrong here but people are treating it like we started with scott carson up top

Crazy isn't it. Insecurity I reckon.

Or at least setting the scene so they can say told you so

Amazed there’s no Mahrez nor Foden - both deserve to be starting yet neither are. Strange but the team out there should be more than enough and nobody really in there that shouldn’t be.

Interested to see if it’s KDB or Bernie on RW.

You do realize we have had a lack of fullbacks all seasons? Lol

We was unbelievably bad in that game but ended up winning it. Isn’t it a record for least possession from a Pep team?

Possession means nothing. Our tactics in that game and performance in midfield in the second half were perfect. Arsenal didn’t have a single chance from half time until after we were 1-3 up.

Anyway, I’m walking up to the ground in a min and can’t wait to see this team tonight.

UP THE BLUES!

Honestly bizarre… that’s one fucking slow team.

No worries about the full backs. There’s ……….four CBs in the team. That will show them.

Mahrez hasn’t really had form for the past few weeks. Foden sure but mahrez no starting is really that much of a shocker…
