Wtf? Not the side I hoped to see

[Original Dub]

Fully changed defence and no striker.

Sounds promising.

[gmercer1]

Fuckin ell not liking this set up

[ruralblue]

It's a fucking Derby and we have both our main strikers on the bench, our proper decent right back on the bench and KDB on the bench. Fuck fucking Tuesday it's fucking Derby day.

[Beefymcfc]

Will have to trust Pep here. Fully understandable though considering we don't need to win this game with the Dippers game still a far more important match.

[sheblue]

Bloody hell....
Sterling through the centre.

[Harry Dowd scored]

No striker at home? Hope this works out

[Justified logic]

Wtf is the point of Yaya on the subs bench? At least put a youngster in there for the experience if not the enthusiasm.

Not liking the starting line up either. Guardiola doesn't get how important this is to fans.

[phips]

What is Pep doing?!?!

prioritizing Tuesday.

[Dimples]

it makes sense.

Pep still thinks we can beat Liverpool - so he is resting key players.
That side is good enought to win today but so what if we lose - we should still win the PL comfortably.

The approach makes perfect sense to me.

[Justified logic]

I think we might even lose this one with this set up which would be a great moralising boost for Tuesday wouldn't it/

[sheblue]

Can see why.
But its very risky.
Maureen will be delighted.

[zabbadabbado]

You know what i love Pep,we have had a great season.

fucking hell Pep,its a Derby man ,that formation says "i am not that arsed about today result".This after playing like we didnt gove a fuck at Klanfield.amazing team selection.

Rags at 7/2 are looking well worth a flutter

[carl_feedthegoat]

The set up is FUCKIGN BOLLOCKS...no forward , no KDB , at home , against the SCUM ?

[sheblue]

Take a 0-0 now.

[Harry Dowd scored]

Surely Pep doesn’t think that team is going to win a derby, really worried now
