Fuckign back line is disgraceful.

Shocking that KDB is in ahead of Sane....shocking.

What back 4 had you expected then? It's a risk starting with Kompany given that he's just back from injury. In my opinion, it pretty much picked itself.

Pep's just shown all kids that they have no future at City. Is he arsed though cause he won't be here in a couple of years.

John nailed it when he said trophy has to take priority here. Kids will get more chances.

I dont believe our kids are ready for a final yet, throwing them in at this stage could back fire and ruin their career if they have a mare. We are trying to develop our kids into winners not making the numbers. Nothing more will please to see our youth academy players make it, I truly believe it will come, just need to be patient

[blues2win]

Big vote of confidence in Zinchenko but it means Laporte plays in his natural position. Bernardo was always going to play and Pep wasn’t prepared to leave out either Silva or Kevin so Sterling left was bound to be favoured over Sane. Come on City!

Love me some zabba prematch

Didn't do Foden any harm against the same team at Wembley in the Charity Shield

Play the kids against a Chelsea team full of talent? You're off your rocker pal

I see there's some nervous posts coming out, getting the 'I told you so' in early.

Zabba on the Sky panel.
Good to hear.

Muric will get over it but will you? Just keep asking yourself - who is the best keeper? Then repeat - if we get beat at least we played our best keeper.
Then enjoy the game

Seemed to be okay playing our worse keeper last year in the very same final....

Not really mate, we've spent the last two days discussing it in a thread a few down.

I'd love for Pep to explain why he gave Bravo the nod this time last year.

Eh, what are you saying?

Don't answer it mate, not interested in a debate just before the game, especially after both the Scum have just dropped points.

[john@staustell]

Mase you're getting everything all out of proportion.

Reserve keeper doesn't play in a cup final so has no future?
