Young Boys (H) - Tue 7th Nov, 20:00 | CL | Pre-Match Thread

[The Black Shed]

Pundits will soon be starting with the…….”how can Young Boys stop City……..”

Or... how can £5m Young Boys stop £500m City. Someone will mention it. Just like they did in the Fulham/Utd game and last night Spurs/Chelsea. Not!

This is how Pep said to me we’d line up today:

Ederson
Walker Dias Gvardiol
Stones Phillips
Doku Foden Nunes Grealish
Alvarez
​

Take it to the bank…

I'd like that.

Why did Pep change his mind? Maybe I’ll never know?

Bit weird to rest all the expected big players that could do with one and then start haaland but no complaints with that, good rotation, hoped for something similar but didn't expect it from pep, good to see.

Should win comfortably.

Expect the midfield 3 to perform, might be difficult at first given they've never played together before but all 3 will be looking to impress. Not sure where the service for haaland comes from in that side though. Dont see it in that midfield or grealish and wont be from the defence so looking to foden to be the main creator tonight.

They could give the GPC a ring…

Sorry. Pep who? Certainly wasn't Pep the City manager.

like this line up and I am always taking what Pep decides, although would love a chance for Ortega

Philips is done, he must go on January, fantastic guy probably but it gets to the point where he may feel humiliated a bit. Rodri rested and still Nunes/Lewis/Kovacic in front of him.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Wonder if Haaland has to play CL home games against the minnows to boost his goal scoring.

 

[abu13]

Phillips needs to cut his losses and look for a move in January, he clearly isnt in Peps plans at all.

 

[TrentGrisham]

Will Stones be DCM and Rico maybe holding the width at RB? Hard to even guess. I like it, regardless.
