markjazzbassist Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 We were able to stymie them at the Etihad I have a feeling we will again. Pep and koeman may be best buds but I think Ron is more willing to park the bus to nullify pep. Whereas pep won't change his style regardless. Play McCarthy with Davies and if he's not fit I guess Barry.

Shy_Talk Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hatchet man is likely banned so we can get a nibble on Silva with little in return. I wonder who the ref will be.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 City are definitely vulnerable at the moment. Their weakness is at the back so I would stay with 2 up top and do what we did yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn balor Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 City are poor at the minute. I'd play Valencia and rom up top and if gerry is still here I'd have him putting crosses on that bravos goal line non stop. He is awful. We might have some new players in by then tho. 2-1 rom and mori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chalkpie Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Did you guys watch either of Pep's post-match interviews yesterday for NBCSN or Sky? The guy is certified mental, and even though he won, he had a hissy fit a la Jose Mouhrino at his worst. Really fucking weird, picking his nose, biting his nails, etc saying he was happy when he was clearly distressed. it was extremely bizarre.

I have the same feelings about Pep that Haf has for Lukaku, I don't buy the hype. I hope we smash them. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 If we can play the ball quickly from back to front and get Rom running at Kolorov, Rom will win it for us Kolorov is a joke when under pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame the media couldn't spot a genuine clown last season or fall over his oversize shoes and realise, so now buy into abject distraction and amateur-dramatic misdirection from those they've been happy to collude with in building up (the 'special' one, and whatever hog-swill guardiola had his adviders conjure at all outspending and performance drug covering up barcelona) (oh dear, that performance drug covering up looks a little out of place, recreational is nailed on in there too). Greatest managers ever, the circus is in town, pep and jose, the all new chuckle brothers. used cars, furniture, insurance, old rope, all available here, and that 19 year old shaking her ass - yeah we've got loads of that. #lowestcommondenominator.

Aidan Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 We're going to get absolutely embarrassed next Sunday. If we play any more defensive than we have been doing I can see the formation being 10-0-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy_Talk Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 clown-shoes mafia robles has had it, play Jagielka in net if Stek aint right. Jagielka Coleman Williams Mori Baines Lennon Barkley Davies Oveido Lukaku Valencia No kone, no crab-ball, no cleverly, no excuses, just a display that shows all concerned care. Not expecting miracles or 'phenomenals' just a shift and if they deserve to win on the day make them fucking earn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rusty747 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 3-5-2 for me Robles/Stek Holgate. Williams. Mori Coleman. Davies. McCarthy. Schneiderlin. Baines Lukaku. Valencia/Mirallas/Delofeu Barkley to start on the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same feelings about Pep that Haf has for Lukaku, I don't buy the hype. I hope we smash them. I think you may well be right about him. Not quite the connoisseur he likes to think he is. The joe hart fiasco was an indication of that. Bravo looks shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness City is his biggest task so I would expect it to take more than a season, albeit people (inlcudong me) probably got a little carried away given how well he started.

pete0 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Just shows how hard this league is. Bayern fans wanted rid of him. Great motd football, but 90 minutes of that every week gets boring. More so when they had the most exciting team to watch the year before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shy_Talk Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 The Premier League exposes managers that only have 1 play style. When Pep came in he set the team up to play his way. It worked because it was new and teams had not had the chance to analyze everything and find ways to counter it. Now that we are midway through the season there is plenty of footage on how Pep sets his teams up and because he is arrogant and refuses to adapt then the performances have wained. The same has happened to us. Koeman came in and stopped the Martinez possession based passing but now we are too predictable. Spot on. The variety of Southampton is what lead to their successes, with quick players to hit on the break or spring the offside, with wingers able to cross and cut inside, with a target man adept at finding a team mate with a knockdown or just as easy a header on target, it meant many areas of strength to overcome an opposition instead of relying on just one style of play that needs to be delivered almost perfectly to be successful. This is still a physical league, pace and power will always be relied upon, and sides unable to match up against raw brawn wont get the time of space to use whatever brains they can muster.

Shy_Talk Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 The massacre at the bridge to one side, we've tended to turn up at least for a half against the sides above us. Its the complacency, concentration and cohesion against certain other sides that has us as the best of the rest instead of battling for the european places.

Two penalty saves was a very welcome change as well, and the goal Lukaku got was top top class finishing. Imagine if we could isolate a defender against him like that more often....

(Reason for avoiding is because of the atmosphere of depression that all facets of following the club have fallen into. pre game travel,inside, then the boozer after is all moaning) MC11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 If Schneiderlin signs by Thursday or Friday could he feature? When is the cut off point? I doubt he would start if he can. I doubt he would even get his debut, probably lacking severely in match fitness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
