A very good side
And one that should win. But personally I'd sooner have one or two of the younger lads in

Firstly Pep always wants to win win win and secondly its beneficial that kdb, foden gundog, mahrez etc have a run out. That'll be his thinking and I tend to trust him.
Well, until we get to champions league semis and finals anyway
Foden was good enough to get more minutes back then. And he’d still have turned out class whatever Pep did with him. I wouldn’t use him as an example, but I do agree with your point and giving the non-match fit time.

I predicted this team yesterday in another place. It boiled down to a toss up between Eddie/Zack & Raz/Jack for the false 9, came down tails each time

Just 1 or 2 of the young lads, not a team of kids.
He could have easily played two of them. That's all.
But hopefully they will get on well before 85 mins.

Asked Pep if it was maybe time to experiment
NO, he said

Its a champions league game. I don't think we should give them away and all those guys deserve a game.
Palmer scored in his last CL. What does he have to do to deserve a start?
Yeah palmer deserves it over mahrez imo

I think he needs to keep the main squad players warm, as in he wants them not to get too rusty, so that they’re ready when called upon.
Giving the young lads a run out is important but above is more important.
Fully expect to see Palmer et al on the pitch early in the second half.

Didn’t realise it was an early KO, lucky my lad messaged me.

Odd, just seen Dortmund vs Bayern with a packed stadium this weekend. Is it just for European games?

Kev just looks so out of sorts. Even his running when he's pressing looks wierd. Like a 14 year old kid who's grown too fast and isn't in control of his body.

Depends on the State i think.
Grealish is starting to make Razza look prolific
