Been a rare thing this season when I’ve looked at the bench and seen senior depth that is both fit and ready to play. Don’t know what shape Gvardiol is in, but Guardiola could have 5 strong substitutes and then youngsters and a keeper.

 

[Silva&Silva]

Solid line up, let's go blue boys

 

[SebastianBlue]

He started off great to be fair and his end product looked fine but its dropped off to almost no end product as it stands.

Hopefully he can find the end product he had in his first few appearances.

To be fair, he has created a number of chances in recent appearances but our finishing dropped off during that time, as well.

Stick Doku on the right against Lindelof, that's a mismatch all day, with Kev overloading on that side too we can feast on that. Or get him sent off in the first half. Target that weak spot.

We are definitely targeting the space between Lindelof and the refrigerator head. We really should smash them to bits, but I do fucking hate the derby

Looks like the Rags have gone for aggression in the middle of the park , cue our lads getting a good kicking with the referee waving pay-on at every opportunity , that Rags defence looks horrendous on paper.

Be trying to get rodders sent off i imagine , if they kick him a lot he will react eventually , ref is a ****

 

[Johnny Mars Bar]

The state of their defence.

Anything less than 10-0 and I’m full on sack the board Pep out.

 

[Toffeedude]

Good Luck City. I hope you win.

 

[SWP's back]

Wonder what the “Pep’s going to start Alvarez, the bald fraud!” crowd will moan about now…

Probably “I can’t believe Pep didn’t start Alvarez!” if we aren’t 3-0 up in the first 30 minutes.

No I’m happy he’s not starting him. So no complaints.

 

[jimharri]

More than happy with that line up, given that Jack isn't available.

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

The rags tactics seem obvious from their line up. 10 behind the ball and the occasional punt forwards.
