DJ Barry Hammond Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 I liken this game to the away one at Burnley 2 seasons ago when they were claiming they'd get the win that would put pressure on our title chances, we binned them off with an easy 2-0 win and I fancy the same again. Vardy and Mahrez. Hmmmm... both teams are in the same region, but I'm not sure there's a full comparison here. Mean think how many pound notes have been spent building one of these two and how Dyche's head would explode if he could comprehend the figure.
RowlattsFox Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 I hope we keep the 2 upfront and not bring in the extra man in midfield. Our best chance of winning this game is by exploiting their weaknesses in defence.
dylanlegend Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 MISSING APPEAL: 'Extra Striker Brigade' I'm worried where have they gone?
dylanlegend Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 I hope we keep the 2 upfront and not bring in the extra man in midfield. Our best chance of winning this game is by exploiting their weaknesses in defence. Agree- same team as last night. We are so much more threatening with 2 up top and I don't think the extra midfielder helps us much? Just confuses things. We look pretty solid playing 4-4-2
themightyfin Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Got tripped the hard way by Billy Jones yesterday - ripped his sock open! I remember the BBC live feed saying something along the line of a sluggish Yaya Touré being made a spectator by Lamine Koné. The whole Manchester City squad is somewhat scraping by, and that also because of some absences. We're lucky De Bruyne is out injured for a while, apart from Agüero, he's been the most lively player on their books this season. I do hope we approach this with both cheerfulness and respect. I can but assume we'll revert back to a 4-1-4-1, with maybe Inler playing right in front of our back four. This will never happen. We will not see Inler anytime soon around the squad. He's not a happy bunny after being priced out of load move before the window with City asking for a 2.5m Euro fee. He and Leicester City are not best friends at the minute

He's not a happy bunny after being priced out of load move before the window with City asking for a 2.5m Euro fee. He and Leicester City are not best friends at the minute Considering he's still being paid £40k-ish a week probably, he'll live.
Babylon Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Aguero just takes them to a different level when he's fit... but with our team, who knows what's possible.

When they get going then they'll surely win 5/6 on the bounce.
GaelicFox Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 I'm bursting to get up to Manchester , the buzz from last night is still coursing through my veins I'm actually shaking with excitement for Saturday ! We Should give it serious decibels during the game So glad I booked the train now
Captain... Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Considering he's still being paid £40k-ish a week probably, he'll live. It's not all about money, it is a European Championships year and he is in danger of losing his place if he isn't getting any game time. It would be a shame if he is pissed off because he just wants play football, he has been a model pro so far.
STUHILL Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Aguero looked fooked walking off the pitch yesterday. Hopefully he picked up a knock and will miss the game or at least, not be at his best. He is such a threat for them. A win last night has eased the pressure I think, and it would not be a disaster to lose this, but of course, a win would be incredible and we should go all out to get that!
Detroit Blues Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Man City looked average at Sunderland, but they have taken 28 points at home out of 36. This will be the toughest test we've faced this season, and a draw would be a fantastic result.
fox766 Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 They tried a 4-4-2 last night and imo they were practising setting up against us and it clearly doesn't work for them and if they set up like that again I think we will win comfortably. On the other hand they are trying to copy us, ha ha ha. Still think we can win this one though but like most will be pleased with a draw.
ARM1968 Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Vardy's confidence will be on another level after that goal. Mahrez too appears to have found his mojo. If we go for it we could spring a surprise. If we try to contain them then we'll probably lose. Take a draw all day long.
MikeyT Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 0-1 to us. Vardy for his 19th of the season in the 89th.
weller54 Posted 3 February 2016 Author Posted 3 February 2016 I'm going 0-0 ...arsenal have a tricky match away to Bournemouth.. Another draw for me! Spuds have Watford at home which I think they'll win! All very tight!!
Happy Fox Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Can see another Tottenham awayer on the card, they will have all the possession, a bullet type header from Morgan in the 88 minute that win us the game. Get your money on it!
MC Prussian Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 This will never happen. We will not see Inler anytime soon around the squad. He's not a happy bunny after being priced out of load move before the window with City asking for a 2.5m Euro fee. He and Leicester City are not best friends at the minute How do you know that, though? From what I gather so far, he's been working hard in training and bit his tongue. I've never seen anything in the papers suggesting him hitting out at the club. He'll do anything to get back into the first team and I don't think the club can afford losing his experience and roaming/blocking/interception abilities for some of the more high-profile opposition we're still to face this season (and beyond).
americanfox Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 It's not all about money, it is a European Championships year and he is in danger of losing his place if he isn't getting any game time. It would be a shame if he is pissed off because he just wants play football, he has been a model pro so far. Oh, well aware. Really doubt he gets dropped though given he's their captain, but I certainly wish there was playing time available for him. Claudio's comments about envisioning Inler in a 3-5-2 says it all. Benny was probably purchased under that same pretense, as the ball-playing complement to Huth and Wes.
Guest CityFan 06 Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 An early prediction of a 1-1 draw. A win would be immense though.
biggs Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Before I thought W - D - D for these 3 matches but I'm now thinking we'll take Man City 1 - 3 this weekend. Have to get up early......4:45am start over here
Guest ttfn Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Biggest game since...? Stoke 2008? Tranmere 2000? Man City 1969? We're going away to the league favourites, 3 points clear at the top of the league in February. It's an unimaginably and improbably big game yet (admirably) nobody seems to be talking about it in these terms? I know it's just "another 3 points" but the consequences of a win would go far beyond that. Would be interested to know others' thoughts - is it actually only the biggest game since Tuesday? Am I massively over-selling this?
ScouseFox Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 the biggest game ive watched since england v brazil 2002 imo
Fox seen in Norwich Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Go 451 like when we played them at the KP We played inler then. Replace for Amartery To man mark aguero. Result could be anything. I'll say 1-1. Fuchs FK and an Otemendi header equaliser. Still top
FireFox Posted 3 February 2016 Posted 3 February 2016 Biggest game since...? “'At this point, every game is, arguably, the biggest game in the history of the club,' said Arlo White, who grew up in Leicester and is now the lead commentator on the Premier League for NBC."
