Hoping stones has just been rested.

Decent line-up that, happy to see Ake get a start. Hopefully Stones is just rested rather than injured?

 

[Deleted member 77198]

With Sterling right and Foden left, we will be able to spread them out across the pitch more and create and [hopefully] exploit more space in the middle of the pitch!

 

[deano ou812]

Not being negative here but could we not have done without one of Rodri or gundogan maybe stuck in Bernardo or Torres instead..

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Thought Torres and maybe Laporte might have started. But otherwise happy.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Playing sterling to get him back into form

Hes been trying that for nearly 12 months

[The1nvisibleMan]

Good team, shame no torres tho

 

[Kippax77]

Sterling seems undroppable at the mo.
Needs a biggy tonight

 

[Gray]

Decent team,but he really isnt keen on Bernardo is he?

Or Laporte?

 

[pudge]

Would prefer Foden for one of Gundogan or Rodri with Torres in the front three.

Either way we should be able to field an eleven to bum West Brom.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Natural attacking width at full back, hope Gundog follows up his better recent performances, delighted to see Phil’s energy in the team, hopefully Raz on the right and him and Jesus have brought their shooting boots.

Aymeric must have really pissed Pep off!

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Decent team,but he really isnt keen on Bernardo is he?

It looks like he's less keen on Laporte. I think starting Ake ahead of him is a massive statement

 

[wattle]

Yes yes and fuckin yes. Great team. Great balance. Very happy with that

 

[domalino]

Dias and Ake, interesting

Stones rested entirely? Or injured?

 

[sir baconface]

Stupid optimist or what? I have Foden as my fantasy team captain.

Same as I did against rags. :-(

If Pep doesn’t start him I’ll smash his gaff up and piss in his Xmas stocking.

Edit: Just seen the team sheet and he’s playing.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

Very happy to see foden back in the side

 

[standupifyouhatemanu]

That's one hell of a pricey bench.

You are Martin Tyler and I claim the tenner !

 

[oldius]

Nice line up. Personally, I would have Torres for Raz and BS for KDB, but I like it.

 

[Ric]

Laporte in the dog house still.
