HanoiVillan Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Feel like there's just altogether too much expectation on this and that we'll flub our lines. I'm expecting a loss, maybe 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Huge hope. Nervous expectation. Everyone plays to their best and (don't give away a soft early goal) there's no reason we can't do this. Huge statement a win would be, massive.

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Doku probably going to be okay then. Stones to start too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their running and movement will trump us. outscoring them is our only chance, I suspect. crowd, will play a big part.

RichW Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Not sure about this fixture if I’m being honest. It’s a bonus Rodri is out. Apart from affecting depth not really too fussed Grealish is banned his not been great this season, don’t think I fancy Doku running at Cash/Konsa so ideally he won’t be fit but rumours are he is. Man City are for sure more vulnerable than usual but I’m still expecting Pep to rock up with a plan to win tomorrow, it’s not like they are having to play academy players. Haaland Alvarez, Foden, Silva are excellent players to still be able to call on. Guess the target will be midfield, if Kalvin Phillips starts for the first time in how long he clearly won’t be up to speed but think I read earlier Stones is fit for them so I’d imagine he might play Stones in midfield since that’s what he drifts into anyways. I be happy with a draw tomorrow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ender4 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 We can't seem to keep clean sheets this season. They score for fun, have John Stones back and haven't won in 3 games. I predict 1-3 to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pongo Waring Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 (edited) We gonna beat Man City up like Mark Ramsey beat Ricky Hatton up twice. And Yes that is Jacob Ramsey's dad. Edited December 5, 2023 by Pongo Waring 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbcuk Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Rumour is Stones starts for City and Doku only makes the bench, as the one I’ve seen it from his team leaks have been spot on with city this season so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great, just need Lawro to come out of retirement and predict we win. Would be the final nail in the coffin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birdman Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 If we constantly give the ball away we're gonna struggle. Need to tighten up and counter attack. I have hope and confidence of course but fully prepped for a loss too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 We need to get Ollie and McGinn high up, holding some long balls from the back. That's they key for us. I think we'll have to score three to win. We're capable of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Does Unai go for it or not. Does he start Moreno or go safer with Digne . Do we use JJs athleticsm from the start or Tielemans. Or does he start Zaniolo again. Do we start with Bailey due to his form or revert to Diaby and then bring Bailey on 2nd half. Nice conundrums to have .

Made In Aston Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 After the last minute ref blunder at the weekend I have a feeling that Man City will want to take it out on their next opponents. Who are they playing again? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 How strong is Lenglet? Is he stronger than Torres. Because a fired up Haaland might come and cause chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
