U23s then?

You want us to play Mangala ? You're going too far ;-)

He is u32

Think we're going to batter them 4-0, which only makes CL result more painful. We never have problems dispatching this bunch in the league.

He's been turning out for the U23's. Note I didn't use the word, playing.

Are you playing 3 at the back?

Team for me would be Ederson, Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy, Ferna, KDB, Bernardo, Sterling, Aguero, Sane....

I'd bring Vinnie/Merlin back in for the Rags game. Merlin, Jesus, Gundo, Mahrez all great options from the bench tomorrow. I think if Trippier plays we have to get Sane against, he has looked piss poor at times this season and Leroy would frighten the life out of him.

I dont know what the story is with Pep/Leroy but I fear losing him if he doesnt get a few "bigger" games under his belt.

No I’d bench Bernardo for the derby.

I think a twatting will be given tomorrow.

4-1

Woulent let him near the starting 11. One slip up and the title is over. Play your strongest team for the remaining games.
Sane to come in for David Silva (Bernardo in midfield)
Stones to come in for Kompany
Ferny to come in for Gundogan

Playing your strongest doesn't necessarily mean success as Wed proved with Laporte

I don’t think he’s being targeted for any failure pal, purely a failure on his part to be seen to give his all in the games he takes part in. He’s always going to be behind Bernardo due to his work rate and skill level.
Mahrez has got PL experience and is not a mug. It looks like he can’t be arsed every time he loses the ball and consistently makes the wrong choices in the ball, he slows our game down and is too predictable. Throwing himself to the ground and chucking his arms in the air every time he loses the ball is like watching the diving Egyptian.
When he arrived I expected him to step up his game, however, it appears he’s happy to carry on coasting.
I don’t know the answer to his problem, but if he doesn’t up his game, I can see him being moved on, which would be a shame as he was bought probably because Pep saw something in him that he could develop but it’s not appeared.

If he was half as bad as you are portraying and simply wanting to coast, he wouldn't be a) playing for us and b) selected to play - either you are over-egging your perception because you dont like him, or the club, having scouted him for some time, believe in him. Wonder who is right?

He got us 3 points vs spurs and I’m sure there was another game too where he scored the winning goal. As poor as he’s been he’s still contributed to the title push.

Ah, you have it wrong there pal, it was a team game when he bagged us those points :)

I'll just be happy for a win with a clean sheet
