We’re just encouraging pressure, we were really lucky not to concede at Chelsea

Better go gung-ho and concede three before half-time.

I wonder what is happening there? It's a shame. He shows so much promise.

When?

There really is no pleasing some people. Have a day off mate, stop looking for something to be mad about

Another defensive set-up.  It worked well enough against Chelsea as despite all their possession they had few real chances in the match.  We had fewer but took one with aplomb.  So we got away with one a bit but to go more attacking would have permitted many of the best players in the PL to have more chances against us.  I've no problem with the same formation and personnel today, we still start as underdogs but are less likely to get thrashed than we would if we were more expansive, and we could just nick a point if things go our way.

2-1 win incoming ?

A few weeks ago we were all not happy with Ndidi and Mendy as they were too similar but now we’ve got three of them in the middle, we will create even less than before. If we’re going three in the middle we may as well play Maddison as one of the three and have another attacker out there

Give both Chilwell and Riccardo more freedom to provide width and creative.

If we don’t concede this plan will likely work out. If we do however err it’s gonna be awkward.

[Nick]

I have to give Puel credit since he’s come under some real pressure he’s ditched 4231 and played a consistent side at least. These were issues in my top five concerns about his tenure in all fairness.

[Monk]

Quietly optimistic. Man City need this win BADLY so they’ll go for it. Expect us to get them on the break in a high scoring game. 

 

3-3

[fazzyfox]

A bit like the scene from Star Wars at the Rebel base, gather round everyone - I have detected a weakness in their infrastructure. Dink a ball over the top, half way between the keeper and Vardy / their CB. Keeper charges out, mistimes challenge, red, ten men, pen, all set for a kind of golfing handicap situation for remainder of match. Could get a 1-1 even.

The force is with us (due to too many mince pies).

[Kopic]

****ing 'ave iiiiiit

[Clever Fox]

I fancy Ricardo and Albrighton to get behind Bernardo and create a few chances.

I just hope we can stay in the game long enough to make it count.

Weak bench! 

[Nicolo Barella]

Gundogan as DM, Delph as LB, Danilo as RB (who hasn't played in months)!

Wouldn't be surprised if we got beat but would be surprised if we get thrashed.

Danger is Wes and Harry get banged through lack of pace.  This is game where mobility would be handy.
