We’re just never seeing Phil Foden again, I take it.

Classic pep, big up Rico and how he has to play, just to drop him
Walkers recovery pace will be a great help if he’s found an ounce of form since Brentford
Surprised not to see kdb or Phil at 10. Seems we’re gonna pack the middle, rely on walker and akanjis recovery pace, and use our wingers to pull their defence apart. This could end up being a cross fest

Canât wait for Walker to switch off defensively and cost us a goal as per usualâŠ
Good_Kev_M-A-N_City on
Seems like a lineup designed to break a low block
Mammyjam on
Hmm, not sure what I think about that- Walker has been wank for a while and Rico has been great. Two tricky fast wingers against 10 in the box is usually ineffectual
vva04 on
nah why is he starting walkerđ
s4turn2k02 on
Why is Foden not starting though?
WanderingArtist21 on
Choosing the worst possible lineup in every big game. He never disappoints.
XboxValentine on
Thatâs very attacking. Would have thought Bernardo and Grealish in the wings for control.
Not emotionally ready for Doku to risk possession repeatedly but itâs all guns firing.

Not a city fan but I’m so curious how does ep even keep Foden satisfied with the number of games he starts/plays? Surely at some point of time Foden will want to start regularly?
Edit: lol what’s with the downvotes. Literally asking this question in good faith to find out more about how pep keeps his players happy.

Come on man, doku and savio are on the pitch at the same time, is this an indication that we are going to give the ball to arsenal and chase a counter attack? why this insistence when we can’t get what we want in big games with a 4 man defense?
_bhagwan_ on
Hoping we get to see a griddy today!!
EliVeidt on
Happy with it as long as Doku and Savio actually put good crosses in or have the right final pass
RipUrSoul21 on
they shouldâve started atleast Foden or Grealish at the wings or at the 10
evenstark04 on
Um what the fuck is this? Why isnât foden starting?
Akanji is awful when he has to invert Iâm sorry he canât do that role. Why isnât Rico starting?
Pep is majorly over thinking this one. I was way more confident until this dropped I have to say. Now Iâm really not so sure. But I LOVE the front 3. Time to terrorize with the press

Walker⊠congratulations Arsenal.
BranDaMan16 on
Finally Walker starts
Neat_Replacement_420 on
Walker is there cause his recovery pace is really useful against counterattacks
MtKlo27 on
Gundo Bernardo over Foden and Kovacic is genuinely so bad man
Zlatan_Sandvic on
i feel grealish should have started over doku, grealish can hold the ball on the wings better while doku is more of an electric player whod go for that risky run… i just feel we need a bit of patience today to get thru arsenals low block cuz they are definitely parking the bus here
Saul93 on
Is Foden still not 100%? Bizarre to not start him otherwise.
a_wild_dingo on
Obviously I’m no pep but not starting Foden this week is absolutely wild to me. Kev is out, we need creativity in midfield, and last season when Foden was played in the middle he was instrumental in several victories against the top 6. And he’s fit, he’s been on the bench for like 3 games in a row now. I just don’t understand
xenojive on
No Phil yet
Tiki_taka27 on
Thought Foden would start
Dejong17 on
Boo why no Lewis
Monta_xer on
Finally doku on the left savio on the right,none of that grealish backpass ball
Anonymous_Goat on
No Ben White in the Arsenal XI. Also Calafiori starting for the first time (I think).
Creates a little more uncertainty. Maybe Arsenal isnât as organized at the back as they usually are? Or maybe itâs just wishful thinking lol.
waveofthehandsWEAVER on
I was, and still am, all for the Gundo signing but itâs really frustrating to see Pep revert back to starting him over Foden in the middle. He was the prem player of the season last year, we need to get him going and we need that KDB replacement.
citizen2211994 on
Bizarre that foden isnât starting.

Play Foden you coward?

Lmao at these comments thinking they know better than Pep
kdy420 on
Wow Doku and Savio !? Pep’s feeling adventurous.

Bernardo silva actually looks crazy iwlđ
NeuroticPanda92 on
I love Bernardo but I think I’d have preferred fpden in the middle, having said that Silva lives for the big ties, reckon he could be special today.
DarthOcelot on
Count Doku starting đ„ letâs cook them.
Automatic-Macaron234 on
I just canât fathom how you can play Doku in a game this big. Totally unnecessary.
jayjay-bay on
Kind of off-topic but when the heck are we going to see Stones get momentum and starting games again? I miss his ball control and distribution man. Treble winning season he was absolutely essential and instrumental but he’s never really got into a groove ever since.
city_city_city on
wonder if Bernardo will man-mark the shit out of Rice, because you take him out of the game and this Arsenal side is dead
