Pretty standard line-up that. Griezmann for Dembele and Pique for Araujo. Considering how crap Dembele and Araujo were in the clasico... can't say I fault Koeman.

As far as playing corpse-Pedri again... no comment.

Dembele has no business starting after that Madrid match.

Ironically Bilbao will probably press higher meaning Dembele would probably be more effective than Griezmann.

But anyways, it's a Cup final which only means one thing. Messi and insyhallah.

Not sure Bilbao will be too adventurous...

Perhaps, I can't see them holding such a deep line unless we push them back. They (and Marcelino) usually like to press us high and not give any time on the ball, then quick release to Inaki/Muniain.

Let's hope Stegen doesn't concede 2 goals from 3 shots on target.

We should win this as long as the same players don't fold under pressure.

Yeah, the two changes are OK. I prefer Dembele to Griezmann sometimes, but Griezmann is clearly a better player.
It's a bit remarkable that it's a clear extra defender for an attacker now - when Frenkie played CB it was a bit different you could argue.

You have a p.m

I don't like that we always have a new lineup before every big game. Worked like once.

During 2nd half we'll probably be back to what we're used to seeing because it won't work out. Dest subbed for Dembele lol.

 

[JerseyAddict]

I am nit sure is Pique fit. I know he want's to play and he will do his best he can, but I don't know is it enough. Inaki is fast as lightning for our back 3. Maybe Oscar can keep it up.

Yeah a bit strange with so litte continuity when the manager has so clear favourites, he only really plays the same 12-13 players if they are fit, still there is always some change.

Today, another change is that Puig will watch from the stands...
