Shakhtar away

CLE
Contrary to popular opinion it looks like we won’t be sending the U12s over there to rest everyone for the derby
Only 2 first choice players not traveling are David Silva & DeBruyne who’s serving a totting up ban anyway so it looks like Pep wants to keep the winning streak going which is good news for myself and the other daft feckers travelling to the Ukraine on Wednesday

Travelling squad
Goalkeepers: Ederson, Bravo, Grimshaw

Defenders: Walker, Danilo, Kompany, Mangala, Adarabioyo, Delph, Otamendi

Midfielders: Fernandinho, Toure, Gundogan, Sane, Bernardo, Sterling, Foden, Diaz

Forwards: Aguero, Jesus

Hologram
Adarabioyo Otamendi Mangala
Danilo Gundogan Yaya Foden
Diaz Jesus Bernardo

Or risk more starters for Sunday ?

I wouldn't have even had Sterling and Sane on the plane. Can't believe he'll play your team Rich.

Bravo
Danilo, Yoyo, Mango, Otamendi, Ederson
Yaya, Gundogan
Bernardo, Foden
Diaz

Interesting....am I seeing correctly on 3.5 hours sleep...or do you have Ederson at LB? Razz

He's great with his feet....but not sure even Pep would take the piss with that one!!

Bravo
Danilo, Yoyo, Manga
Bernardo, TLMLF, Gundogan, Delph
Foden, Aguero, Diaz

No...honestly think he'll drop Aguero for the weekend and play Jesus....he's been poor for a few weeks now and been selected ahead of Jesus for the last few games.

I think there is a different way of looking at this. Sam Lee says they are spending a full four days out there so I think Pep is turning it into a training camp with the Derby in mind. Still think we are going to see the B team with a sprinkling of the kids & a few big names on the bench.

Nobody's posted it yet, but worth watching only to hear Yaya speak fluent Russian. Heres Pep & Yay's full pre-match press conference:

Fernandinho at RB

by Strange Blue Wed Dec 06, 2017 6:52 pm

Great to see Foden start. Looks like Kun to lead the line on Sunday by the looks of it

by Nijinsky Wed Dec 06, 2017 6:56 pm

Another one of Pep's surprise team selections.

Great to see a couple of the younsters getting a start

by Strange Blue Wed Dec 06, 2017 6:56 pm

Now looking at a football app that’s giving a totally different formation, but I think the 1st ones correct

by Strange Blue Wed Dec 06, 2017 6:58 pm

I like this, only ones who might start on Sunday are Jesus & Edderson so pretty much everybody rested, but still a good mix of quality, experience & youth

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 6:59 pm

Yoyo and foden starting. great

by Strange Blue Wed Dec 06, 2017 6:59 pm

Can’t say I’m confident of a win, but still I’m looking forward to this.

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:00 pm

think fernandinho might play sunday

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:00 pm

Duhaney on the bench

by Strange Blue Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:02 pm

“think fernandinho might play sunday” my bad he definitely will. It shows that Pep really does want this.

by Strange Blue Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:04 pm

Will there be enough hunger in the B team looking to impress Pep?

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:07 pm

i think they'll do their best. either they won't be good enough or experienced enough. or they might just win!

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:07 pm

but detractors will say it's a dead rubber when we say we're playing some kids

by TMG Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:18 pm

I doubt we will win but will be great to see the kids
Hope they put in a good performance

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:25 pm

Mango and Yo-yo at the back. What could possibly go wrong?

by Strange Blue Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:26 pm

I also forgot Sane who will probably play Sunday. Not fussed about Napoli, but would be great to win this & give the kids some confidence & keep the record going.

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:39 pm

Would be nice to send Napoli the rags way

by Moonchester Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:44 pm

it's odd, we could do with Liverpool winning tonight, means 2 extra chances to not get madrid in the draw..

by Strange Blue Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:47 pm

2nd source saying Foden is LB??

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:48 pm

3-5-2?

by Strange Blue Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:48 pm

ok looks like he is

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:48 pm

Foden LWB

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:49 pm

Dino in centre of back 3

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:51 pm

Steady start

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:54 pm

Yo-yo wobbly

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 7:59 pm

Jesus should have done more ch better there

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:00 pm

Yo-yo has no confidence at all. Just passing to Dino most of the time

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:02 pm

Not impressed with Sane

by Strange Blue Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:05 pm

Feels sort of evenly placed, although we have more possesion as usual

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:12 pm

Great goal

by TMG Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:14 pm

Could see it coming

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:15 pm

Horrible pass from mango

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:16 pm

No one doing anything

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:16 pm

Weak press

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:16 pm

What the guck was yo-yo doing?

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:17 pm

Didn’t even chase his man

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:17 pm

And we got lucky

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:19 pm

Foden wasted our wide

by **Topdawg** Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:19 pm

Yo-yo fucking nowhere again

by blueboy Wed Dec 06, 2017 8:19 pm

Anyone got a stream? Mine are wank!!
