Final session of the guess the team compy to get inside Peps head starts with this game, just go to the thread in the matchday and fill yr boots.

If we going for a madcap Pep curve ball

Stones Rodri Dias Akanji at the back with
Lewis & Kovacic as the holding 2

We cant play with Lewis as RB, Vinicius is too good. Even if Walker is not ready, I will play Akanji there and Rico as LB

I agree.

As good as Rico was the other day and how promising he is as a footballer, Vinicious is a step too far.

Even a prime Kyle Walker has his toughest games against Vinicious and at times been gotten' the better of.

Well that's bollocks as a tweet earlier a page back or so said Kyle had some solo training after the squad finished.

Kev will get the Luton game off so I expect him to play.

That could very well be the case but thought it was telling that Kev played the 90 minutes when he could have subbed him at the same time as Rodri

Can it be any worse than Fernandinho playing there

Doesn't mean he'll be travelling to Madrid though.

That account gets it spot on pretty much every time as far as I'm aware.

will city publish the list of players who travelled today?
they’re flying to madrid now.

Has to be Bernardo at RB. Rico is not a defender and can't handle most of the wingers in the PL. How do people think he is ready for Vinicius is beyond me. They would rip us apart on that side.

Oh yeah because Bernardo is basically Maldini!
