Usual Pep curved ball, Marmoush not Cherki.

We'll see I guess

Not bothered, I thought Cherki was shit in the last two games needs a wake up call. Hopefully will come on later rejuvinated.

Wouldnt be surprised if its a 4222 like we had for a while already this season.

No clue what marmoush has done over cherki and foden tk start tho.

Surely was can start our best 11 4231 like we have and just steamroll these shit fucks
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Completely agree. Sometimes he's most effective as a super sub

Haaland more like. Ducked out

Well, and the referee, who should've 100% sent off the keeper

Pep at times has short term memory, Marmoush scored so he's in. He does more running than Cherki so hopefully Haaland will enjoy some space

Might be something along the lines of trying to make sure someone is in there for those balls we fire across the goal, that rarely find anyone running in?

I thought Foden would have started given his excellent appearance in the last game.

2 assists, first time since Dec 2023 obviously didn't cut it :D

Would probably be a place wasted.

Messaged my brother to say that Pep is a fucking psychopath for picking Marmoosh ahead of Cherki or Foden.

I'm one of the biggest Pep sycophants but if this one doesn't work out he's getting both barrels!


The team picked regardless of that curve ball is easily strong enough to win this comfortably.

If the players give 100% and are on their game this match is ours.

I agree we should be able to win this, especially with Nico O’Reilly in the team, this kid is going to be a world class player I really admire him for his attitude good lad all round

The Marmoush - Haaland experiment hasn't worked. Shame he's chosen a final to try and force it again.

Very quiet. Remember when you couldn't hear Abide With Me or the anthem for rival fans singing their songs, all pissed up?
