Anything from them city game would be a bonus. Absolutely but “if” we get a point from city it’s a massive point and can definitely be the difference come the end of the season. Momentum from getting points against them would also be massive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Don't get me wrong i am not saying put a weak team out or anything like that. Any points taken of City would be most welcome. I actually think we will have a good chance at taking all 3 of City in the very last game of the season, because they will have won the league by then. But we need to ensure we are winning our 'bread and butter' game formost. We haven't been doing that to well this season. Fulham is the first game since Newcastle that we go in to as the favorites. Not droppong points to teams in the bottom half of the league will make far more that make up for a point againt City this week. To me there is more pressure to be winning these games first. If we drop points againt Fulham it would worry me far more than not nicking a point of City this week. Btay and dunlopp9987 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lose to city both games and miss out on champions league by a point I’d be looking to both Newcastle games or similar before the city ones. I agree on the last game with city as well - could be a huge blessing that and I pray so much we beat them to get a champions league spot that knocks liverpool down to Europa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Today’s game is the most important game because it’s the next game, then it’s the City game then the horrible fuckers, how we perform in the next game and so on will determine our season, I’ve never been one of those people who reflect back on what if we beat Newcastle Burnley Fulham ect we didn’t and that’s a fact that can’t be changed.

Btay Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Well if there’s a chance of them being complacent in the final game, I think there’s a bigger chance of them being complacent after that shit show against Fulham. This could be a serious blood bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak at the back (still!!) and now having some trouble in attack. It will be a big match and interesting to see how Carlo lines us up. We need to get something point wise out of this if we want to keep pace with European places. Lineup forthcoming.

We'll set up to soak up pressure, have no quick players to even attempt a counter-attack, and have 12% possession. If we have more than 3 shots at their goal I'll see that as a victory. This isn't Chelsea or United etc, City will annihilate us if Carlo sets us up like he has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davies gives me the least concern of the 3. Doucoure and Allan with the energy. DCL up top.

Btay Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I’m really unsure how we are going to play this one. I just hope we offer some sort of pace out wide. I can see Carlo reverting back to solid block back 4 and try and grab a point. Siggy, Gomes and James cannot feature at once. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwobi i dont mind so much to be honest because he is our only wide player that looks remotely interested in going past someone. I think you're pretty much bang on though, id maybe swap bernard & richarlison. Davies will sit deepest of the 3 cm's and Allan/Doucoure i hope will just be buzzing around making things difficult for City. I'm expecting to see James though to be honest in place of Bernard and wide left. Godfrey to match sterling for pace. I think getting in behind Cancelo and off Stones's shoulder is the best way to expoilt them but we need Richarlison at his best for that.
