Man City (A) Match Thread

[PaulW]

Bet that's got Pep thinking.  Briefly.

[Lincolnfox]

Got to be honest being shocked is an understatement... that said, lets see what the Big Lad has in his locker. He might have been saving it for a special occasion 

[blaaklint]

is it a coincidence that if you take the R, T, Y and both As out of Amartey and replace them with two Ss and an I, it spells Messi?

[RowlattsFox]

Need to remember Evans hasn't played for a a while with no pre season. Maybe the extra centre back to compensate. Rodgers doesn't trust the back 4, clear as day. To be honest if Burnley can create as much as they did, I don't blame him.

[Tielemans63]

Where's Ryan Bennett when you need him eh?

Ok Brendan you've made your point, you need a another defender

Maybe we don’t if his plan is a back three, even plays Amartey there against these to make a point

 I think not. Then if you drop the ‘I’ and add ‘adn’ after the M, then wow.....

Amartey right back, Castagne right wing maybe?

surely if that was the case we would use Fuchs or Thomas at LB and move Justin to RB, I think Amartey will be CB in a back 3/5.

[Silva Fox]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Amartey at RB, Castagne at LB and JJ as 3rd CB.

[shailen]

Man City have a weak bench, it's probably the only time ours will look stronger than theirs 😂

[Guest Manini]

I’m pissed off because he’s shown a bit of bottle keeping Maddison out of the side to keep Praet in who’s been good this season so far but then he’s just completely out brendan’ed himself by putting Amartey in, I wouldn’t mind but the bloke is so far off the pace we may as well play with 10 men.

Amartey against Man City!?

 

Maybe we are trying to replicate the way Wolves got joy twice against Man City last season with a 343. Barnes and Vardy is pace for days on the break. There's definitely something to be said for sitting back and inviting pressure and hitting them with the counter.

 

Not expecting much regardless today, but hoping I am wrong.

Didn't Amartey partner Andy King when we beat them 4-2? 😂😂😂

 

Whats the point of 3-5-2 when they aren't even playing a striker? Madness, Rodgers has shit it again. Albrighton over Perez I could just about stomach but what a madness this is. Please score a 30 yarder Daniel 😂😂😂

Why? Justin has played the first two games at LB.

[ozleicester]

1 Mahrez - 2 Youri and Soy

[Spudulike]

I've, paid Sky up

So it's time to get Amartey started.

Injured, thankfully.

[Le Renard]

Why change a winning formula?  Because we had more holes than a swiss cheese against Burnley, and if we are that open agains Shiekh city we will lose by a big margin. 

[Collymore]

For all you worried about Amartey there's no need. The last time I saw him he looked alright, very little came down the Scunthorpe left that evening.

[Brooksy]

We're getting shafted by a terrible decision today aren't we?

[shailen]

Let's give Amartey a chance before we reserve judgement. I'm as baffled as anyone but it could turn out to be a tactical masterclass. 

[Gerard]

Haven't been able to come up with a formation that doesn't need a square peg in a round hole unless it's the unlikely 4-2-2-2

Same formation we played at Bournemouth 🤷🏻‍♂️
