Man City (A) Pre match

[fox_favourite]

11-0 first triple hat trick by Haaland. Ndidi sent off and all our top players “injured”. 
 

Who said I wasn’t positive

I just looked at the Man City 2 Leicester 5 teams to see how many of that team likely to start. My conclusion 3/4 out of that team will start, 10 still at the club.

Park the bus. Have two attacks. Score 1. Piss off Rodri. 
 

No matter what happens, we would’ve left our mark on this season. 

Can you imagine our version of park the bus? They’d be less gaps in the Grand Canyon. We park the bus we go 5 0 down quickly. Teams that attack Man City generally do better.

[BenTayfour]

If Marsch was appointed...

[Devonfox1884]

Iversen

 

Ricardo

Castagne

Souttar

Faes

Kristiansen

 

Mendy

KDH

 

Maddison

 

Iheanacho

Daka

 

Assuming Barnes is out.

[jonny_wright]

Wouldn’t bother risking youri, barnes, Evans for this - on a hiding to nothing and don’t need any of those being out for the season 

[TonyN11]

Must win!

[The Guvnor]

Quite an even affair, couldn’t call it.

[justfoxes]

Heaven Help Us !

....then what happens in the 2nd half?

[ARM1968]

Win this one and lose the rest. Typical. 

[Larry_LCFC]

Full on battering I suspect. At this point, there is absolutely zero point in setting up defensively as we will lose regardless. Leave Amartey, Ndidi and Soumare back at the KP. Start Mendy, Daka, Nacho, Madders and Barnes. Just got to go for it with maximum pressure and hope Man City have an off day. Zero point in playing our shit passive football.

And yet if the Circus act that is S&S is still running the dug out that's exactly what we will see a complete replica of the last match the only good thing about it was we lost 1 Nil, this time it will be alot worse, I agree with your sentiment of just go for it we are fu$%ed either way 

[LVFox]

Got to be 5 at the back

 

                    Iversen

     Amartey Souttar Faes

Ricardo  Ndidi     KDH   Castagne

                   Maddison

        Iheanacho     Daka

 

I'd stick with that side in every match until Barnes or Youri are fit too.

Castagne over kristiansen? 

[An Sionnach]

I wonder if the all out attack proponents will be happy with 9-2 , is that better than losing 3-0 ? I guarantee the post match thread would not be pretty reading. If we can't win this match , we should make it as hard as possible for them.

In that role, for me yes. Still undecided on Kristiansen. Think Castagnes best performances for us have been at wing back when we've sat deep.

Agree except Evans in for Amartey and possibly Kristiansen in for Castagne. Once Youri is fit I'd add him in for Ndidi. 

[HybridFox]

Might lose 3-0 instead 

[Vacamion]

 

If, as is massively likely, we lose this one, expect people to be in here laying into Dean Smith and his team when they've had just half a week.

 

It's got to be considered as a free hit and a no-fault, no strings, not much blame affair for the new management.

 

Unless they select Amartey, Soumare and Vardy up top on his own

Scenes when John Terry is walking that defence through the game play by play from the bench, we somehow keep a clean sheet and Vardy nicks one at the other end.

 

Dean Smith flags and masks proliferate at the next home game.

[Daggers]

New manager bounce, please

[BenTayfour]

Please no Vardy as a lone striker.

[StonyFox]

They'll be expecting Brendanball, they won't be ready for smithball!

 

5-1 defeat 

[HybridFox]

The meltdown from Rodri if we sh**house anything out of this game
