And Pep just can’t get his team to handle Vardy….. Ederson missing is huge, we need to be brave like we were at their place last season. ....a goal keeper adept with coming off his line and playing effectively as a sweeper negates Vardy to some degree!!! If their keeper stays at home and relies on his defence it will allow the ball out of defence or over the top from Albrighton to be more effective.
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 8 September 2021 Posted 8 September 2021 Whose between their sticks will make next to no difference if we don't leave our own half. I don't expect Rogers to deviate from script here. Do that's 90% possession to the mega rich boys. 1
Suzie the Fox Posted 8 September 2021 Posted 8 September 2021 Draw. Which I would take if offered right now due to injuries and being a bit shit.

Hopefully we’re brave at the right times and get at City, especially if Carson is in goal. Looking forwards to getting back either way, 3pm on a Saturday - you beauty! *Man City

Steve Earle Posted 8 September 2021 Posted 8 September 2021 1 hour ago, FoxesWalk said: Significantly increases our chances of getting something, but they’re arguably still favourites. Still plenty of world class players there, and we are in shite form. With the greatest of respect, there’s no ‘arguably’ about it! Man C start as favourites every game they play, rightly so
Sunbury Fox Posted 8 September 2021 Posted 8 September 2021 2 hours ago, Bert said: Ederson will be a big miss for them. He starts a lot of their play…. Gabriel Jesus normally bags against us too. Very good point re Ederson. Easier said than done but we need to press Carson and try to make him kick long or force errors from him as he won't be as good at playing out as Ederson. It was noticeable in the Community Shield how often we got turnovers in their half in the absence of Ederson. His ability to play from the back is crucial to them securing their mind numbing control of games.

I reckon back in my youth id look at this and within 2 seconds flat id understand all of it no bother. Now, I'm sat 10 minutes in staring into the abyss of pretty coloured dots and football team names 2

lgfualol Posted 8 September 2021 Posted 8 September 2021 Oh god with Scott Carson in goal I really hope we dont have one of those games where we barely shoot.

UHDrive Posted 8 September 2021 Posted 8 September 2021 I'll take a win here. I think we'll play with lookman on the RW if BR judges him ready. My only cause for concern is our full backs when man city counter down the channels. Bertrand will be pivotal in this game as will RP if he's fit.

You genuinely should be, but if / when it does, I doubt it. Do you think we all have a different opinion on Kevin De Haller and Soumare compared to Brenno? (Genuine question)
HybridFox Posted 8 September 2021 Posted 8 September 2021 Can't see our spinless FA doing anything tbh
Popular Post Matt Posted 8 September 2021 Popular Post Posted 8 September 2021 (edited) If there was ever an incentive needed to attack Man City (there shouldn’t be anyway, it’s literally the easiest way to play against them, it’s “not the way they like the opposition the play”)… Do not play our crappy negative, passive, sideways, turgid shite. Please. Edited 8 September 2021 by Matt 8

I think we are still waiting to hear on Ricardo, Vestergaard and Evans (personally I think Evans is unlikely to be fit) Also still not confirmed whether Bertrand is available And of course being the international break, there is bound to be someone else ruled out by injury/Covid All of which makes it rather difficult for us to speculate about the team! 2
