which you fellas will no doubt explain with your usual aplomb. ;)
Was puzzled Pep left subbing so near to the end of the game.
The in, out, shake it all about of LB & RB coming in midfield will it get predictable so opponents will alter tactics to nullify, and have the players enough time to learn this before City are too far into the season?

probably depend on injuries too

cant see it being like pelles set your watch by it 60th minute sub

Delph came on for Silva in the 64th minute

Pep says the full backs won't always go inside. Sometimes they will go outside. Not predictable.

The general consensus seems to be that the tactics will be adjusted according to the opposition. Pep taking opportunities to try different systems when he can (this was an ideal game for it - the away leg of a two leg tie, against a relatively un-threatening opponent) and start getting the players used to them. Í don't think we'll be seeing what we saw last night against Stoke at the weekend!

ah Stoke away what a good test so early in the season.
Looking forward to seeing  what Pep makes of this
