LCFC FOX Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 The team I would have for city, The only change I would make is King or Powell in for Albrighton playing the attacking central role I was the thinking the exact same, but as we're struggling to create at the minute Alrbighton is the man who can deliver a good ball. The lad needs a chance in the team as well for me.
Guest seanfox778 Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 Yeah I'm starting to think that might be a realistic option. Mahrez as a goal-scoring midfielder is surely a better option than Matty James in that role. I think we need to go one up front (Ulloa) with five in midfield, but maybe with King as the attacking No. 10. Keep Mahrez wide to start with, with the option of putting him in the middle if we're left chasing the game. It seems a fairly desperate attempt to find a few goals, but we are in a fairly desperate state. Kasper de laet: Morg: was: Konch Mahrez: Drink: James: Schlupp: King Ulloa. Vardy on the bench. The reason I think it might work is because I saw an article on Sky Sports earlier saying (by the way, in no way am I about to compare Mahrez to Messi) that Messi started out wide for Barcelona but he was poor at the defensive side so they had to move him to an advanced role so his defensive duties were not a priority, I think with Mahrez focussed purely on his creative, attacking side and having maybe Albrighton on the right it might give us a better balance and lead to faster counter attacks possibly. I'd go:Kasper RDL Wes Was Koch Albrighton Cambiasso James Schluup Mahrez Ulloa/Vardy
bellind Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 I'm genuinely surprised no smart alec has posted along the lines of 'I bet Col wants Arry to win'..I guess there's still time.. You know you do.
Guest Col city fan Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 You know you do. Your name really ought to have an 'e', rather than an 'i'..
LCFC FOX Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 Albrighton centrally? I clearly put him out wide...

Stadt Posted 25 November 2014 Posted 25 November 2014 I clearly put him out wide...I misread Jmono's post

This game will have little quality, a Mahrez performance could be key to us winning.
les-tah Posted 26 November 2014 Posted 26 November 2014 Dont over complicate things, 442 with james and cambiasso - james is the future of our CM. same team(ish) as last week and just f**king pray we can finish.
walkerleeds Posted 26 November 2014 Posted 26 November 2014 Where is everyone planning on drinking for this pre ko then? We get into London around 11 so plenty of drinking time!
mcaputo Posted 26 November 2014 Posted 26 November 2014 Where is everyone planning on drinking for this pre ko then? We get into London around 11 so plenty of drinking time! There's a good pub just up from the pub called 'The Defectors Weld' - pretty sure that (And the one across the road from it) Are both away pubs!
walkerleeds Posted 26 November 2014 Posted 26 November 2014 There's a good pub just up from the pub called 'The Defectors Weld' - pretty sure that (And the one across the road from it) Are both away pubs! Ah thanks, very close to the ground as well it appears!
ealingfox Posted 26 November 2014 Posted 26 November 2014 Make sure you take out a mortgage beforehand if you're planning on buying a round in The Defector's Weld!

Fox Ulike Posted 26 November 2014 Posted 26 November 2014 I wanna see Drinkwater, James and King played as a midfield three. With Ulloa up front, and two wide players. I don’t think those three have played together yet this season…
lgfualol Posted 26 November 2014 Posted 26 November 2014 what about Drinkwater? Surely he has bigger potential than James If he has he hasnt shown it so far imo (in the prem)
les-tah Posted 26 November 2014 Posted 26 November 2014 what about Drinkwater? Surely he has bigger potential than James Yeah just think james edges it, just personally think James will come on stronger, probs our future captain.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 26 November 2014 Author Posted 26 November 2014 'Arry has said he will do a streak across the pitch, if QPR win. Come on Leicester, this is definitely a must win game now.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 26 November 2014 Author Posted 26 November 2014 I know we won last season, but it's not one of City's lucky grounds. What formation will Pearson use? I hope it's not back to the diamond.
Stevosevic Posted 26 November 2014 Posted 26 November 2014 Think we've won both times we've played there under Pearson?
Guest ttfn Posted 27 November 2014 Posted 27 November 2014 As poor as we've been lately it's worth remembering that QPR have only taken 2 more points from their last 7 (since we last won) than we have. They are also 2 points behind us. I'm surprised by the negativity to be honest. We've got a better team than this lot.
Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 27 November 2014 Posted 27 November 2014 City have not won their last 16 London away games in the premier league....time to change that!
