Well, you better take Barney for a long walk

I'm inclined to heed your advice but I don't want to miss out on a scrappy win but let's see what my boys want to do later!

I’d defo take a draw! Anything at City is a plus in my eyes. I just don’t think losing to them at the Etihad indicates too much.

What we must do though regardless of today’s result is beat them at the Lane. If we lose at home then I’d say that is still what makes us look like chasers. Home form for me is crucial to any potential title challenge. The season we finished second we were unbeaten at the Lane, more of that is what I expect.

That's just how I see it. COYS!

I'll take a draw...if we get something it will set us up nicely mentally. If we lose then it will just re iterate us being chasers

No it won't. This is match week 2, not match week 22/32.
Even in defeat, tis the manner of defeat that is scrutinised.

So either we're playing 4321, or we're deploying one of Sissoko or Ndombele in the attacking trio

Initial thoughts:

Another Poch selection brainfart in a big game.

Please be wrong, DH.

 

[The RDBD]

If I see any more of that "diamond" nonsense I will go ballistic.

No Vertonghen = zero points

KWP will be torn to shreds

I'm glad Poch reads my posts and has reverted to a 4-2-3-1 formation

 

[The RDBD]

FFS, pass the ball faster from the back !!!

 

[Rocky blue army]

No verts ffs

 

[humanbeingincroydon]

Somebody tell Toby and Davos to pass it between themselves for a few seconds, that way we might string three passes together

 

[Left on the Shelf]

Lamela lucky to get away with that.....
should have been a penalty!

 

[Alfie Conn]

Lamela was a lucky boy there

 

[humanbeingincroydon]

He was lucky that Rodri was fouling him at the same time, otherwise it was a definite pen

So there is an upside to the way Fraudiola tells his team's to play that no pundit on earth seems to spot...

 

[The RDBD]

Really shameful basics from supposed pros.

 

[Alfie Conn]

Going to be a long night

 

[crackerman jack]

This will be 3 or 4 at least. Great header tbf

 

[NSIS]

Been coming. Sterling completely lost KWP

We can’t keep the ball. Could be a long evening.
