Can’t wait for this game. The real city will stand up tonight. We have a great chance to progress. Come on lads get it done.
 
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.
Not just that. Bernardo will interchange with De Bruyne allowing him to get higher up to feed Haaland.

my issue with the side is the lack of full backs. Seems overly cautious to me
Don't need no stinking full backs.
 
What’s our best team? I’d argue we don’t have one at the moment.

Apart from Rodri and Aké, the rest of our entire squad have not been consistently good this season, not even Haaland has.

One man’s best team might be different to mine and both might be different to yours and all might be different to Pep’s. There could be a few thousand fans who think tonight’s team is our best team.

Also what people think is our best team might not actually suit what Pep has seen in Leipzig’s deficiencies and he’s got the team to enact what he wants against Leipzig on the pitch tonight.
How about a right back at right back ,our best centre half at centre half and our most in form player on the wing
Opinions of course
 
There will be no lack of effort from the players tonight. Pep has won so much for us and we don’t get beat very often.

But this team seems to be more designed to keep possession than actively score. It doesn’t scream we are going for it

Foden, Walker, Lewis and Alvarez whilst no guarantees (and all 4 would not fit) would add pace and possibly freshen us up.

But trust in Pep.
Keeping possession isn't a bad thing against a side that has pace on the break. The issue is squandering chances (Palace being the latest example of that)

4 CB's
5 midfielders
1 striker

Pep's not messing around!
It’s not the team I wanted but fuck it. Walker and Foden should be in. I trust the boss has a plan so let’s see. We can always change it if it’s not working in the 95th min -:)
 
Not sure which Walker people have been watching recently. He's been a liability.

Foden probably sealed his fate with his performance in the first half on Saturday. Can't afford to give the ball away like that tonight. Bernardo is less of a goal threat than Mahrez or Foden but he'll keep the ball, he'll help out Stones and he'll press.

Wish Laporte was in for Akanji but apart from that, I can't really complain.
 
That's the shittiest squad he could have selected...

no fullbacks...
no inverted fullbacks.. .
no Mahrez or Foden to create the chances from the wing
KDB-GUNDO duo in midfield
Bernardo a RW <3

Maybe he decided to fully switch to PL title race..

I don't have other explanation than that..
 
Not a huge fan of the lineup tbh. That back 4 and midfield, while individually talented, is a bit ... cumbersome ... and the center of the pitch is going to be absolutely overloaded. Not a lot of width. BUT what do I know, I trust Pep and think we'll pull through
