Bogey team of all bogey teams, has Pep ever lost 3in a row?

Yes

 

[Fordyboy46]

Not convinced by that line up at all, Mahrez shouldn't be starting, never shows up when starting a game. Defence changes yet again

 

[jmant10]

Interesting line up. Happy to see Julian starting alongside Erling

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I’m glad stones and Lewis are back

Come on city!

 

[Bill]

I’d go Mahrez I think. And Grealish on left.

this .
right now Foden and Palmer should now be left out .

That's how I see it. Spurs will be better with Bentancur, he makes them a lot more balanced. Need to exploit their defence and stretch it, Alvarez' movement and energy should do that.

Plenty on the bench if it goes tits up!

 

[The Black Shed]

I I said try 442 need to try something new!

Me too, if it doesn't work out then concentrate on the CL.

Erm... Looks like a classic 4-4-2 with Lewis and Ake fullback, Rodri and gundo in midfield which worries me greatly on the counter especially without walkers pace behind them and alvarez upfront with Haaland but dropping into the 10 when neccesary. Do not like it tbh but something needs to change to create chances for Haaland so okay let's see how it goes. all on Pep if we fail to win though.

idk what people up in arms about, 11 looks great to me. just what i wanted, really. stones back, lewis back, alvarez in
