[balotelli's back pocket]

Can't argue with that team - Ake/Gvardiol the only real decision to make and I feel more comfortable with Ake against their pace.

Hopefully we can get a decent lead and bring Kovacic off for the latter stages, need him wrapped in cotton wool for Arsenal.

I said in an earlier post that I thought Phillips would start with Alvarez getting a rest. I guess Pep has just indicated exactly what he thinks of Phillips.

 

[Asa's left peg]

Not really.Plus we have KDB, Stones and Bernardo to add t o it.

And Rods.
Pluses Eze, Paqueta and Savinho - sorry, thats next year.

Normally would have preferred Grealish over Doku but perhaps after some time out and 90 mins midweek, it's understandable that we start Doku.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Fucking hell. Peps trusted lieutenant isn’t good enough for you because he doesn’t scream enough. Get back to your village, it’s missing you

I would mind if he got off his fucking arse occasionally and stood on the touchline

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Bench is weeker than last season.

Only because we're missing a few with injuries
Stones, KDB, Bernardo, Rodri would strengthen.
Our issue this year is that we have more injuries than last season

 

[TrentGrisham]

Good team.

2-1 City. Wolves aren't as bad as their record would indicate.

 

[Champions Again Ole Ole]

Give Haaland some decent service and we will be fine.

He's been getting decent service. Both Turner and the Zagreb keeper had good games against him

 

[burning blue soul]

Looks like Calvin will need City to get an injury list of biblical proportions to get a start in a meaningful game.
He needs to move on in January to save his euros next year.
For whatever reason his skillset does not gel in Peps team.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Don’t know about today,so going for 1-1
