***Sheffield v Champions Official Match Thread***

[Saul Goodman]

Back 3?

[zuricity]

Wow. Just wow.
Aguero dropped - people will say because he needs a rest, but that argument is bollocks because Laporte is playing.

Self-sabotage 101.

Actually, that argument isn't bollocks , Laporte's been resting for months.

[PeterParker]

ok, Laporte fit, what is the point of Fern CB?

He is trying to prove a point and force the board to buy someone.
That has to be it.

[john@staustell]

Not looking forward to this much

[nottsblue]

Foden may as well not bother to get changed. There is no chance of him coming on tonight

[PeterParker]

Anyway, are we one up yet?

[nottsblue]

Did I just see Mason as the ref?

[gmercer1]

We are going to get battered at set pieces tonight. Watched the highlights of their game at the weekend and they almost scored from every corner

85th minute onwards mate....just so some people can say hes now played 50 odd times and we shouldn't whine.

Be surprised this time. Laporte isn’t gonna last 90 minutes. Aguero will come on for Jesus and Bernado for Mahrez

[carl_feedthegoat]

First shit pass from sterling and a typical slip form JG.........

When they are 1 up or 2 up?

[FA cup winners 2006]

Don't see much wrong with the line-up. We have looked much better with 3 at the back.

[mr_nool]

Nice to see Laporte back, but I can't say that this line-up fills me with confidence.

[blues2win]

Aguero has not been dropped. He’s in his 30s and Pep doesnt want to risk over playing him. I guess Fernandinho will step into midfield when we have the ball so a flexible system as ever.

[PeterParker]

Not playing Fern in his normal position is really a travesty and fucked us this season.

[gmercer1]

Please get Sterling off

[carl_feedthegoat]

Second shit pass from sterling to their player...in the penalty area..for the second time in 4 mins.

[gmercer1]

Love how commentators are always telling teams how to beat us..........never hear it about other teams. Strange that

[nottsblue]

Very nearly a goal for Sheffield there.

First corner for us. Another waste
