Palfy Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 For me Iwobi has to have a good game for the balance of the team to work, he and Kenny are my only real concerns in the line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever support those poor people can get in these catastrophic times is absolutely the right thing to do. Well done to Everton too of course, a nice gesture from a club that we've been so disconnected from at times this season(s).

Bailey Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Im made up that it looks like we will be 3 in midfield. We can also get at Laporte playing left back. I also think Cancelo gives his opponents too much space. That has to be our focus in attack as well as what has already been said about attacking at speed in behind.

dunlopp9987 Posted February 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 I think we're gonna get trounced today. Any time City loses in the league, they come out the next game and play very well. Really wish Spurs wouldn't have won last weekend, but here we are.

Bailey Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Looks like Stones is the right back. Gordon must get at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 It's not identical, but having royal blue against sky blue is a bit of a kit clash, no? Could see it getting a little bit confusing when at game speed and looking for those inch perfect passes. The game has started as expected, City keeping hold of the ball and being extremely patient, pressing us rather highly up the field which we will need to get a grip of. As others have said though, them having John Stones at right-back shows a little bit of weakness in their armour and hopefully something that we can exploit with either Gordon, or Richarlison if he drifts out there. We've been rather threatening from set-pieces too, so hopefully we can force a few free-kicks and corners in order to try and control the game from that viewpoint, perhaps bettering City in the air with a well worked routine!

Bailey Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 That attack comes from Doucoure scuffing his simple pass into Gordon making it really difficult for him to deal with. Thats an example of the issue we will have with him trying to play high tempo technical football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 I'm pleased with this so far, having our say in a game that we would be expected to roll over in. Gordon is again a really bright spark, and it looks as though anything positive for us will have him involved. Van de Beek seems to be all over the pitch again too (in a good way). As much as City are capable of turning a half chance into a goal at the flick of a switch, they do seem to be a little puzzled at the moment. Sideways and backwards football without any result thus far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted February 26, 2022 Report Share Posted February 26, 2022 Did nobody else see iwobi slow down for a ball he was favourite to get??!
