Saxondale Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 To be honest I’m bricking it about this one. Our defence is heavily depleted and they’re scoring for fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 Ederson will be a big miss for them. He starts a lot of their play…. Gabriel Jesus normally bags against us too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus has been playing out wide so far this season with Torres through the middle so will probably be Sterling or Mahrez coming in. I think Foden is about back to fitness to isnt he. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

les-tah Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 Hopefully they also have squad rotation in mind as they also go a busy schedule like ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Jesus normally bags against us too. Spot on. Normally we'd be telling our front players not to bother pressing Ederson, but with Carson in goal it might encourage us to hunt the ball down from time to time, and also get our backline pushed up a bit as Ederson isn't there to ping accurate 70 yard passes all game.

Pliskin Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 Could potentially be a nightmare for them. If we’re on it, and they play a high line….. Carson is not going to be able to do anything…… Vardy and Barnes will have a field day….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitlock Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 I feel as though over the years we’ve done quite well against City on the whole. Hopefully we’re brave at the right times and get at City, especially if Carson is in goal. Looking forwards to getting back either way, 3pm on a Saturday - you beauty!

FoxesWalk Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 Significantly increases our chances of getting something, but they’re arguably still favourites. Still plenty of world class players there, and we are in shite form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winteriscoming Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 Wasn’t it Rodri who moaned after we beat them 5-2 last season that we did nothing? Twat. Also had KDB criticising us for just defending after they beat us 2 nil at home. I love the fact we still get under the skin of these mega rich clubs who just expect us to let them beat us 5 or 6 nil. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ederson missing is huge, we need to be brave like we were at their place last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our system on the ball isn’t hugely dissimilar to theirs when we play games in which we dominate possession, but against them we just counter. Last season it went particularly well. I hope we see Daka, but suspect he is being saved for a start vs Napoli in Europa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy king Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 Soyuncu sent off for turkey last(?) night. Not having a good start to the season We're really needing everyone to up the levels if we want a win. I'll have convinced myself this is what will definitely happen by about Saturday lunchtime I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxesWalk Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 So far this season we have statistically been the most ineffective team in the league on the ball. Confirming what many of us see watching the game. Completing lots of passes but not creating shooting opportunities... 1 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
