How has Laporte gone from being our best defender and undroppable to this?

Covid

 

[Akpowell]

Surely this will be a comfortable win

 

[mosssideblue]

Sterling has pep's nudes

Has to perform tonight. If he doesn’t, should be benched at the weekend

I feel a Razza hat trick coming tonight.... 5-0

 

[salford blue 62]

Poor Dias will be knackered by February

Centre halves should never get knackered mate

Think Pep has been reading the Inverted Wingers thread. Will we see Mendy and Foden on the left and Cancelo and Sterling on the right?

I doubt it. He's playing 2 attacking FBs, so I assume that they will be used to overlap the inverted wingers.

He fucked up at Spurs but this stinks of far more than dropped for an error. Pep doesn’t treat players like this for individual mistakes. I am a little concerned.

Laporte has been dropped but sterling gets a pass again. Should not be in the team.

Covid and a strong defensive performance from those that have covered him.

Disappointed that Sterling has been given yet another chance. He was atrocious at the weekend and should be on the bench.

I'd agree with this, certainly not being picked on form. Let's hope he has a stormer tonight though, he's due a big game.
