Swansea (H) Pre-Match Thread

Loving the line up. Defend from the front and attack with blistering pace.

Can't wait for this.

3 at the back who would of thought it lol. Shocked we dont have Kompany in the 3 with Stones. Also Kun on the bench. Would of made more sense adding in another striker than a extra midfielder. I think Pep needs to be very careful with Kun we have a World class striker any team would have yet hes sitting on the bench for a unproven prospect. Granted were playing against Swansea but for the bigger games will Kun come back in?? Tricky situation Pep has set for himself. The pressure on Jesus to preform will be huge. Got to feel for Kun never let us down and some extent Iheanacho there getting limited time at the moment.

His problem could get a whole lot trickier if Jesus scores again today

Excited by the team but just a little concerned that Clichy is playing. He looks so tentative at times. Come on Gael be assertive!

That lineup struggles to get best of Sane and Sterling unless Ferna is RB. Why would he change that threat we carried on Weds?

I can't imagine a more bold lineup, realistically. It's a pure glass cannon.

Fair play to Pep, but it certainly doesn't help the nerves...

llorente concerns me with that back 4, in great form, and we need to be on our toes

Well he's not exactly bless with amazing pace, neither is Sigurdsson, despite their quality. Suspect we'll be able to just pin them back without much danger of getting hit on the break. Hopefully.

Is Nolito dead? Interesting team

 

[BlueCityfan]

That back 3 though.........is why we won't win the league.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

That lineup makes me shit myself.

I can see Fernandhino playing right back with him and Clichy inverted

Was just about to post the same thing. There's no way pep is going to totally change a good thing and fern is the ideal inverted full back. Nobody in their right mind would play clichy at cb instead of vinnie, otta.
