Time to try so pace in midfield

 

[MCFCFanTX]

If they're good to go, I'd put Doku and Savio on the wings. Move Nunes to midfield. Might not offer the control but offers pace and physicality. I will try KDB if fit behind Haaland but if not fit then try something different with Macca in that spot. Back 4 is entirely up to who's fit and available. Maybe a fresh youngster like Simpson Pusey can add something. Rico and Josko at fullbacks with Kova in midfield partnership with Nunes. Pep won't do this but it is what it is.

the way weve been playing i would have thought fuck it just go for the league but with the worlds best manager at sporting and the 650 million fans hoping we get dicked we just have to win this one.

don’t give a fuck how this pans out Brighton is the priority

That’s what people said pre Spurs about Bournemouth

 

[phargrave]

Has Pep ever lost 3 on the bounce?

That’s the Spirit!

Sporting are no mugs, but we really need to NOT play players who are injured, so we can save them to try to get fit the weekend.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

COME ON CITY !!

Sporting are on fire we are plodding along, what could possibly go wrong?

Hard to pick a team for this. Whoever we go with, it feels like it will be a fairly rough ride.

I‘d probably go:

—————-———-Ederson————-
Akanji—Simpson-Pusey-Ake-Gvardiol
——————Lewis—-Kovacic———
Nunes—————Foden————-Doku
————————Haaland————-
