Man City Pre Match

5-2 defeat for me

 

Id like to see this starting line up

 

Schmeichel

Wasyl

Miguel

Morgan

Schlupp

Hammond

James

King

Dyer

Nuge

GTF

 

Rest RDL (just returned from injury) Moore(jus returned from bench) Konch Drinky Knocky and Vardy(got a knock on saturday) for saturday

 

As long as there are no injuries or extra time, not fussed about this one

 

If we need to chase the game, we can revert to a 3 5 2 or 3 4 3 pushing Schlupp forward and bring Wasyl more central

 

Only problem is, although QPR is our big game and more important, You can guarantee every one of the lads will want to play in this one and you don't want to cause too much disruption as a manager sitting some of the better, and more deserving players like drinky, knocky and more for instance on the bench

I wouldn't be surprised to see a return of the 3-5-2.

Schmeichel

Wasilewski

Morgan

Miquel

RDL

Dyer

Drinkwater

James

King

Nugent

Schlupp

Man City will play 4-4-2 as usual this season.

Hart

Richards

Demichelis

Lescott

Kolarov

Milner

Garcia

Rodwell

Nasri

Jovetic

Dzeko

3-5-2 is an interesting shout actually

 

Schmeichel

Wasilewski - Morgan - Miquel

De Laet ------------------------- Schlupp

James - Drinkwater

Knockaert

Nugent - Vardy

 

We'd probably get battered but that's the case no matter what side we put out.

Hawk eye will be used tomorrow night apparently. Capital one just tweeted the news. Positive step imo!

 

Not for us :(

 

Was going to post this in the League Cup thread but couldn't find it.

I really do support Goal-Line tech, but it does seem a little odd to use it for 3 out of 4 games. A little more notice and the club could have got it installed in time. The owners lik to show they are there for the long term, don't they?

 

Also, didn't like how the article assumes we'll get knocked out tomorrow  :xmasdry:  What would happen if we do get through? Surely we can't have GLT for one leg and not the other?

I think it could well be a record defeat for us tomorrow in the cup at least. I don't think they will get 12 like Forest did in the dark ages. I also don't think we will get much of the ball which will mean we will end up hoofing it like England always do against better opposition. Problem with this will be that we have no one up front who is fit and good enough to flick on and lay off a Kasper exocet or a Wes punt. If Kasper plays one short I guarantee one of our defenders will lose the ball to their quick players and within 5 secs it we will be in the back of our net.

 

I think we lose on Tuesday and will also lose to QPR (heavily) to continue a miserable month. They are on a roll and are due a few goals. Let's hope we have a better Christmas than we normally do otherwise Derby will pass us in the league and Reading, Brighton, Leeds and Forest will close in on us further.  

 

Sorry to be such a miserable *o* but that's what I think

I think the team should be:

Schmeichel

Moore

Miquel

Wasilewski

Schlupp

Knockaert

James

Hammond

Dyer

GTF

Vardy

I got a feeling Moore, King and Vardy will definitely start. NP should play his near best team for this one to give us the remotest of chances. So Knocy, Dyer and Nuge or GTF should start alongside JV. It has to be 4-4-2 as we will get mullered any other way. So I'd stick Hammond in alongside King though James or Drinky would be OK. Back 4? I'd use Miquel, Was, Moore and Konch and maybe give Wes a rest for Saturday. Subs - who have we got who can change a game now?

I just had a dream that we we're losing 4-0,but we all just kept singing.All the classics,and even a deafening and slow When your Smiling.

Posted

We are a good team,why do the majority think we will get hammered,we will likely lose 2-0 or 3-1,who knows,try and be abut more optimistic rather than pessimistic,a good performance will be great for morale.

Posted

I'd rest Vardy tomorrow, I don't think this will be his type of game anyone agree?

Yeah. 

 

Can't see us looking to close them down from the front tomorrow.

I'd rest Vardy tomorrow, I don't think this will be his type of game anyone agree?

I would disagree with that, although we may not need him to close people down, our main threat is going to be on the counter, and to play counter-attacking football you need PACE. Vards has bags of it, that's why i don't want dyer to have a rest either, just my opinion, but i think it's the only way we could snatch something.

first time in a long while that if we go a goal down it wont feel shameful as we are underdogs. Recipe for a great atmosphere too. I am sitting in J2 however with the family....5 rows up lol

Not in our game it won't.

I agree we need to get in their faces. We need to positive, determined, energetic and not afraid. It's football at the end of the day and anything can happen. That said, I'm not to confident of a surprise Leicester City victory, and I'd much rather beat QPR on Saturday if you handed it to me now. A few knocks into the goalkeeper, pushing on players and not giving them time. All that needs to be done.

Just been watching the highlights from the FA Cup game. We have such a better squad now IMO. Still miss Bamba :wub: but still we have a much better squad. Their squad is terrifying. None of our players would make their second 11. However, it's 11 vs 11. Cliches and all that. I thought we were going to get royally bum-fuzzled in the cup game but we took them back to theirs and they were both close matches.

 

I wouldn't like to go back to theirs this time mind.

 

 

 I saw a piece in Barca's paper that they're fearing Man City. We are screwed but it's going to be a good night. As long as it's less than 7-0 just remember we're not as bad as Norwich. or 6-0 and Spurs.
