Leroy can’t get his mojo back if he doesn’t play? Really frustrating as he is already one of the best when he’s on it.

Ok drop who from that 11 for Sane?

By the way, does anyone know who is showing this game in the US? I know TNT is probably gonna broadcast the Athletico/Juve game :(

lol did you forget that pep benched silva for the chelsea game

No. I think the evidence stacks up in my favour if you look at the team sheets since Pep joined. Plus, you only have to listen to how he talks about Silva to know his importance to how Pep wants us to play.

I always feel calmer now when I see Bernardo starting, which says a lot about his form this season.

His workrate and attitude just ensures there is no slacking.

Bernardo is class in every way.

Strong 11 and options off the bench, comeon City.

Gutted im not there, had to give up my flights and hotel, away games in Germany always class.

Ten years from now, we will be sitting around wondering how on earth could we possibly find a replacement for him.

Leroy will be disappointed at not starting the game tonight. I'd imagine he'd have wanted to go back to his old stomping ground and make a good impression.

I agree, maybe a nice 20 minute cameo against some tired legs will cap the night off.

To be fair to Pep on current form there is no way that Sane and Mahrez get in before Sterling and Bernardo.

 

[Saddleworth2]

I thought before the game that would be the selection. Really believe that on current form that is our best team.

Pep uses my Fifa tactics, bringing sane off the bench against a tired defence is a stroke of genius lol

no pep said he benched silva because the other mids were playing better. so it was not beyond the realm of possibility he would be the one who will be benched today. he opted for more mids than attackers this game so silva gets a chance.
