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.Are City better or worse with Foden in the lineup?
FFSMatch Day thread has started an hour early tonight.
Crazy isn't it. Insecurity I reckon.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
You do realize we have had a lack of fullbacks all seasons? LolI 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
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.We was unbelievably bad in that game but ended up winning it. Isn’t it a record for least possession from a Pep team?
No worries about the full backs. There’s ……….four CBs in the team. That will show them.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.

Mahrez hasn’t really had form for the past few weeks. Foden sure but mahrez no starting is really that much of a shocker…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.
Fuck off with that shite.Haaland brace so no drama guys chill
Do you know what . You should manage the team.. not the other guy I mentioned. You are obviously more aware than pep at what pep should be doing.It is becoming more and more obvious that Pep’s goal is not to win the CL unless he gets all the credit for doing it with a weakened side. Foden has been lights out lately and the best attacking option in the team and he’s exiled to the bench. No way do RM sit Vini Jr in a match like this.
Walker is on the bench tonight, he should be starting over akanji and move stones centrally imoYou do realize we have had a lack of fullbacks all seasons? Lol
Just seen the team - no wonder.Match Day thread has started an hour early tonight.
Yea we should definitely start Gomez. You just to have fullbacks that isNo worries about the full backs. There’s ……….four CBs in the team. That will show them.
He’s on the bench…
So you think the trio of Rodri,Gundo, Kevin works?
It’s been unflattering all season, and now we are about to see it with four centre backs playing in defence.

Walker hasn’t really played that well.. akanji has not been that terrible. Again I don’t think it’s a surpriseWalker is on the bench tonight, he should be starting over akanji and move stones centrally imo
