AlbanyNYToffee Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Jumping the gun on you @markjazzbassistsorry but I think most/all of us are ready to move on from Burnley. City is a juggernaut and this could get ugly but we gave them a good fight for 60 minutes a few weeks ago before caving. How on earth do we find solidity at the back, energy in the midfield and maintain enough attacking play? I want to start Coleman over Holgate and Digne at LM but we need to cover for Seamus' loss of pace - I'm going to pray (despite my bias against him) Siggy can handle that role. If we can get the ball to Siggy or Digne when we win it back they have the quality to hit DCL/Richarlison on the break.

markjazzbassist Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 just wondering what Pep is trying to focus on, definately the league and champs league probably the top 2. wonder if the league cup and FA cup are just games to rotate players and get fringe players time, i know he would love to win them but he admitted a quadruple is not possible. catch them on a high after their likely CL win today, and knock the wind out of their sails Olsen/Virginina Coleman Keane Godfrey Digne Allan Davies Gylfi Bernard DCL Richarlison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steffen Ake Laporte Garcia Mendy Zinchenko Fernandinho Torres Sterling Aguero Jesus There’s a starting XI from City’s bench tonight... I think they can afford to rotate a little with quality like that! dunlopp9987, markjazzbassist and Matt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 We are as big as underdogs as we have been all season. International break on the way, so we can give it all in what might be a season defining game for us. Ancelotti will at least find out who the real battlers are in this squad!! Not such a big game for city, lets hope a lot of their player have there minds on getting away on national duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boston Toffee Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 They are just soo good. Their bench could probably beat us. I hate being negative but i see no scenario we pull this off.

As good as city's squad is they can only put 11 man on the pitch at anyone time. We will need 11 performances today, but why not. We have to play it like it's our cup final and get the rub of the green. markjazzbassist, Palfy and Boston Toffee 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuffRob Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Might be a four, with coleman in midfeild and dropping back when city in posession to make a back five. Didn't we set up like this agaist Liverpool? I like having both Digne and Coleman playing. I think Coleman has been a big miss in lots of games this season.
