4 at the back. Ferna sitting in front. The rest of them doing what they want.

Oh yes please. Well done Pep!

I was worried about today but seeing that line up I think we're gonna slaughter them.

Great minds mate - exactly how I've felt today

'Aguero cutting a disappointed figure' here we go

Commentators already making our Sergio is disappointed at not being in the starting 11. Mind readers the lot of them!

"£50 million defender Mendy starts..."

Fuck off!!!

Worried about the Yaya monster.

Looks like he is not getting any game time.

noticed this too. wonder if today we'll see him off the bench for his 1st appearance.

im guessing this will be a 4-1-4-1 with Sterling left and Bernardo right.
it's also curious that Pep goes for Otamendi over Stones. he did the same towards the end of last season (I believe thats when it was) and when he needed to sub off a CB last week he picked Stones. odd considering he spent so much on him and Otamendi is normally error-prone and dives in needlessly (although going back to last season he's been much better when he's alongside Vinnie)

doesnt take a mind reader. of course he's disappointed; he should be. Sane should be disappointed. Yaya should be disappointed. Stones should be disappointed. etc.

but youre implication is right: the media will probably make this out to be a bigger deal than it is.

A good win please

[Moonchesteri]

A good win please

Any sort of win will do!

Totally agree. A professional footballer not being disappointed when not in the starting eleven is a fucking Danny Mills.

How do we know he's not got a knock and he not buzzing he's getting a rest?

[Saul Goodman]

Looks like a 4-3-3

Sterling-Jesus-Bernardo
KDB-Fern-Silva

[Mase]

Ref literally giving them everything!

[Mase]

I don't understand this. Dean has just pulled Otter for a free kick. Replay shows he just knicked the ball. Smith still adamant he didn't get the ball even when it's there right in front of him!!!

[Mase]

Commentators not stopped taking about how much our players cost. Do they do this when the rags play?!

We dont, but in general a player who is happy to sit on the bench lacks ambition.
