Don’t forget the plastic pitch. We might be lucky to even get a draw.

Bugger......missed that!

The indoor pitch is 3g and the blue and closest green pitches to the blue one on the left:

Great picture that. Wasn't too long ago that land was contaminated from a former chemical factory.

Very good outfit this lot with plenty of European football under their belt. We are Goliath and they are David. Underestimate them at your peril. I'd take 1-1 right now and try and get 3 points at our gaff.

You’re usually so positive

 

[youngbob]

Plastic :)

But enough about the pitch.

Lewis, Doku, Nunes, Grealish and Haaland all start. Via Twitter.

Agreed. I said previously I was very impressed by them versus Leipzig.

With some justification I would say, it’s absolutely hideous

Fairly. It’s shite.

Whoever said it reminded them of Happy Days was right.

D Squared is for the niche market of rich and blind.

 

[TrentGrisham]

I like the lineup.

 

[Vienna_70]

Hamilton on the bench

Presumably, Doku will be on the right.

Clearly resting Phillips for Sunday...

 

[ninjamonkey]

Very happy with that it's very close to the side I predicted, but wasnt confident pep would rotate as much. Rodri and dias are in for foden and gvardiol being the only difference.

More than good enough side to win and win comfortably and plenty of key players given a rest. Get the job done early then we can take off haaland and rodri early second half. Be professional and ruthless, No dicking around holding a slender lead.

Too much money and not enough taste. A poor combination.

 

[super_city_si]

Good line up. Play some in to form.

Just keep Jack away from the minibar!

 

[Eccles Blue]

No, no, no. I hope he brings Walker, Stones, Bernardo, Foden and Gvardiol or Alvarez on early and not in the 75th minute!! Sorry Mr Pep I worship at the shrine of your mastery of the game but this time I have to reluctantly and respectfully question the mastery of the greatest Manager ever. :-( :-)

 

[North Wales Blue]

I honestly don’t know, but it’s not a new pitch, so I’m sure we’ve had some practise on our versions before travelling.

Pep is all about the detail, so I would think so.
