Great looking line-up that. It always calms my nerves seeing 3 at the back. Laporte bonus!

5 goals in 2 games and dropped? (rested I suppose is the correct term)I doubt he wants a rest. I confess I haven't a clue how Pep thinks :/

How’s it bonkers? A strong side, a good element of rotation. Looks ok to me. In terms of the bonkers battle between you and Pep there is only one winner

He’s consistent if nothing else.

False number 9.

Whilst Ota plays a false 4 ;)

Think Fernandinho will be part of a back three rather than playing in midfield personally.

Looked like that to me when I saw line up. I just hope Laporte isn't rushed back one game too early.

rodri+dinho in the midfield and laporte returns to the defence line! I am a little bit confused, I thought Christmas was about a month ago.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Judging by that line up or should I say the way it lines up on the picture is pep deploying laporte (welcome back!) As a left back?

I would assume CB, with Zinchenko LB?

 

[axlgod]

Me, likey likey.

Very happy about Eric. He needs to play to get in form for Real, at least 5-6 games. Fingers crossed he will be fine.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I’m hoping it’s a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3.
