Raz can play up top, then Leroy or Mahrez comes in out wide.

Yeah good point. His finishing has come on a bomb and with his pace he’d be a big threat.

Stuart Pearce .... 'The draw being the draw, I think he(Pep) will want to come away with a win' ...... top class insight !

I'm confused as to how he gets pundit work

There's no flies on that fella. Or Beany.

I like me some asymetrical dynamic formation tactics, but have no idea how I would begin to explain this line up. There will be some attacks in the centre and some down the wings. Everyone will play in the midfield at some point. I can see a mixture of high-risk attacking passes and patient ball retention. When we don't have the ball, players will chase to get it back, Raheem will get in round the back at least once and Bernado is going to do at least one really ridiculously silky thing.

He’s gone back to the 3.5-1.5-4-1 system. Interesting.

Sort of. It’s 433/451 out of possession

 

[Tricky_Trev]

It’s a back 4. Then a back 3 when we have the ball. Same as the other week, Fernandinho stepping out alongside Gundogan in possession. Really excited to watch this again, Pep is just the fucking boss. Come on City!

Can I be the first to say that the referee's a fucking stupid cnut?

I'll allow it.
