Based on what Pep just said, think he's going to the Cruyf 343 diamond (or 3511) with Rodri, Gundogan, Lewis in the midfield, with Alvarez at the tip.

Lewis dropping back into RB to defend in the 4411.

Sounds a bit complicated;-)

Think Alvarez will play behind Haaland with Grealish overlapping on the left…..could be interesting…at least it looks to be a bit different from the norm

Have you not watched our last few games? We have been woeful with tonight Pep taking action and benching those way out of form.

The squad may (or maybe not) fully fit, but many are not playing to potential.

Yep. Too many established players playing like they thought they were undroppable. Maybe we’ll need some to come off the bench but at least Pep is trying something different

Has the value of the bench been mentioned on Sky yet? Freezing here.

If we play like we have been then we get beat simple as that . We need a major improvement tonight .

I really want to see these cunts destroyed, but will settle for a win.

Totally fed up of losing to them and Harry fucking Kane and Son taking the piss.

Time to rise to the challenge .

Perhaps they are out of form because they are not being played to their strengths? Strange for so many to be out of form at once otherwise.

4 titles in 5 seasons with a Winter World Cup. Some look physically and mentally knackered.

I haven't got a good feeling..

Excited to see Alvarez and Haaland together. Massive that Stones is back. Best cb in the league!!

Can't see us keeping kane out
