Please. You know we will, even when direct counter attacking is the obvious way to get at Man City. What we’ll do is tippy tappy around trying to be Man City. Then Man City will show us that we’re not Man City and do what Man City do. Edited 8 September 2021 by ARM1968 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkie1999 Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 1 hour ago, Sunbury Fox said: Very good point re Ederson. Easier said than done but we need to press Carson and try to make him kick long or force errors from him as he won't be as good at playing out as Ederson. It was noticeable in the Community Shield how often we got turnovers in their half in the absence of Ederson. His ability to play from the back is crucial to them securing their mind numbing control of games. Good job he's not playing then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevosevic Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 Irrelevant who they have in goal if we don't create and gets shots on goal. Likewise he's not going impact how incredible they are going forward. Would snap your hand off for a draw right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. They can't take it. They're moaning bastards. KDB is one of the worse for it, he likes to give it out but can't take it. I can't stand players like that. In fact I can't stand them at all.

One man upfront needed as Barnes is the outlet, no Maddison as all we will need to be looking at is, playing on the counter, that is where having Albrighton in will be more solid.

fazzyfox Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 I know they have a few more options available to them now but I can see this being similar to the Wembley game, very tight and perhaps a late winner, like earlier poster I have a sneaky feeling that Daka could be the one to do it.

I think you will find that Man City strughle against teams that actually press them. However if you want a defensive mindset against them they will stick 5 past us. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolo Barella Posted 8 September 2021 Share Posted 8 September 2021 (edited) Man City will be missing Jesus, de Bruyne, Ederson, and Steffen, and maybe some others I can't think of.

We've beat them before, we all know their quality is way better than ours, but their mentality is also as weak as ours can be. Not saying we will win but if Vardy gets a couple of chances I think the game will be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if Evans is physically fit, he's unlikely to be match fit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
