Manchester City will bid a fond and emotional farewell to legendary striker Sergio Aguero

[Skoorb]

It is going to be incredibly hard to get into his head this week. He has the benefit of two recent matches to review plus in the last one......we were stitched up with poor officiating (Rajeev non-penalty) and also conceding in the dying minutes (which was not a reflection of the game).

He will have a plan. Trying to guess what it will be........

< this will be me, trying not to think about any of it.

I agree, but things pop into my head about pep and he may just go with a back three of Stones Dias and Laporte, but this is going to be a hard 'Beat the Pep'

If Pep does play with 3 CB's, then Mendy plays wing back, so in my view we should stick to our knitting with 4,3,3. Over thinking the final could be our downfall.

Eddy
Walker, Stones, Diaz, Zinco
Ferna, Mister Whippy, The Doctor
Mahrez, Kevino, Fodeno

Nailed it. I do hope Pep doesn't overthink this.

In both the FA Cup semi final and league match he did not play our best side - maybe he was experimenting; perhaps trying to see if players found form (yes, Rajeev I am talking about you); partly he would have been rotating players to keep them fresh for the two CL semi final legs.........but I think that there is grave risk in moving away from the formula which has proved successful this season and with which the players are familiar.

This team:-

Ederson
Walker, Stones, Dias, Cancelo/Zinchenko*
Gundogan, Fernandinho, Bernardo
Mahrez, De Bruyne, Foden

*Big decision looming - I think he starts with Cancelo and Zink comes o later (depending on the status of the match)

Spooky! Great minds ........

Until his last couple of defeats Pep had a top record vs little Tommy T, so I fear a strange selection, if it works he will be a genius, if we lose the nay sayers will have ammo for a couple of months and the Sheik will be very upset.

Just hope hope Pep doesn't overthink this one too much, it's Chelsea we're playing not a pub side from the Faero Islands.

 

[kennyclementstache]

I feel the team pretty much picks itself, only quibbles being at LB and who plays as a false #9, Bernardo or Red Kev.

Just hope Pep doesn't give in to sentimentality like he did recently when he played Carson. He might be a nice chap to have around the place but giving Steffen minutes under his belt may have been more beneficial.

If we look back two years ago in champions league finals , Bale who was not a regular starter won it for Real Madrid as a substitute . With the amount of goals scored against Chelsea by augero it would be better to start augero .

Pep should provide an opportunity to redeem the paneka miss for augero .

Otherworldly

he has other records for the Domestic and European Comps those were just league games, an amazing player and at £35m it was a snip and he has repaid that many times.

 

[neverstops]

If he had started today. We don’t know it could have been different. It is rubbish to give only 15 mins for the player who had Exceptional record against Chelsea.

It's done.

Good luck and god speed legend.

 

[Rising]

Fantastic news! I could not be more pleased for him.

 

[Skoorb]

Hope enjoys playing alongside his good friend Lionel Messi (it is going to be so weird seeing him playing in a different kit).

Good luck Sergio

P.S. Please don't get drawn against us in the CL.

Do you think that is till on?

Well, City are in pot one, and Barcelona (among many other big names) pot two in CL seeding for 2021-22.
