Imagine Sky/BT wish they'd pick this game for TV , never mind I'm sure Watford -West Ham and Brighton-Stoke will be thrill a minute!

I think we know what sky  'game of the day' at 8-30 will be !

Man citys performance 2nd half has been pretty poor. Lucky to be 2 goals up. Play like that against us maybe we can take something from the game.

Arsenal hasn’t been able to exploit the space Man City has been leaving on the wing. Some of that is their players. If we want to score against them, we’re going to have to take a couple shots at getting in behind them - can’t see buildup play being effective.

Bollux - otamendi banned for our game! 

Shame, to be honest.

He's like a bombscare in defending, the type of defender that is bound to mess up/concede a free-kick in a dangerous area or a penalty at any point.

We can beat Man City, very confident. They play pretty, effective football, but we will be on top of our game. If you go expecting Leicester to lose, don't go. 

 

We don't give in like Arsenal as long as the linesman doesn't need glasses! 

 

Looking forward to to the game, expecting three points for the foxes

Realistically, there is no way we can win this unless Puel has a Mourinho-style park the bus tactic, where we can get away with a draw.

You're just about the most dangerous opponents we can play at the moment outside of United, Tottenham and Spurs. Why? Because, unlike Liverpool and Arsenal, you know how to defend for your lives. Morgan, on his day, is a beast and Maguire looks good too. Whatever my personal thoughts on Danny Simpson he's clearly a decent defender as well. 

 

Lots of teams can defend, though. What sets you apart from Southampton/West Brom etc is that you're actually dangerous in attack, when Vardy and Mahrez are in form. I watched the game against Stoke yesterday and felt they both wasted several opportunities to counter with poor decisions, but still looked scary with their pace and movement. RE Iheanacho, I personally feel you'd get more out of him if he could play a bit further forward- you saw against Leeds what kind of finish he's capable of. 

 

However, I don't need to tell you all that City this year are a different beast to the side you embarrassed 4-2 last season. We're far better at the back and less reliant on Kompany (second best defense in the league in fact) and are looking brilliant going forward.

 

Personally, I like Puel and think Southampton were borderline moronic to let him go after he deserved to win them the EFL Cup. He's a good manager for me.

 

On paper, City should win. But Leicester are very capable of shooting us down. That's all I'll say. 

Thanks for your thoughts, interesting. Always good to hear from the opposition.

 

However, it's really not good form to refer to your club as 'City', especially on here. I wouldn't refer to mine as City in the company of those from the Etihad. I'll try to resist the temptation to call your club Manchester.

 

Thanks :thumbup:

Hiding in plain sight with contradiction.

Why thio? I'm saying it is possible to win if Puel pulls out some strats, but we are more likely to get away with a draw.

That isn't what you said though. However, point now taken.

Your obviously worried about Spurs . Outside of us your three most dangerous opponents are United, Tottenham and Spurs.

Be afraid be very afraid .... they're coming after you.

Or just ignore the twats like we did and let them come third in a two horse race.... which is the Spursy way.

I expect us to get mullered against Man City, however it's a tradition of ours this season to lose against the big teams and that's acceptable according to some fans on here! I just hope we play well and don't try to defend for 90 minutes.

Flashback of the title winning season in that everyone will want us to win. Man City fans excluded. They really are looking unstoppable at the moment. It's basically a free hit for us. Hope Iborra is back so we can at least play them with our best 11 and on our day we can beat anyone.

Unlikely that they will not lose at least one game this season. Complacency on their part could be our best friend.

That's exaclty what I don't expect.
