Time now to wind it up, had 90 minutes, players, as many as possible, so far had game time and already we have some 90 minute 'ers. 3 forwards Fammy Benik and Nahki all had time with the latter having partnership time with other 2 [starting line up next time 2 forwards??? Kalas, Baker Hunt and Da Silva a back 4 ??? SMITH + ?????? HOW TO put in a midfield? any ideas????
LJ will throw them all up in the air and come up with a change to personnel and set up. It's bound to happen, he does love a tinker. To much I think, but it's only LJ's opinion that counts. Let's hope it gets 3 points.
well add your opinion ...…. I am at a loss to work out a midfield Korey did 90 minutes so 2 things can happen "he is a starter potentially whole game, or rotated" … I think will start, the 2 subs at halftime was interesting as it went from 1 striker to 2 .. at 72 minutes... this was an interesting move replacing 3 [ we "have strength in depth" it has been said by a few on here ] maintains the pattern with fresh legs and gives game time to 2 more players! it was always part of the build up to introduce Afobe "gently so is the plan now to start with Benik and Nahki Korey WITH 3 OTHERS! which 3 though we finished up with Palmer Patterson and O dowda. will we see NAGY and WEIMANN enter the fro !
Bentley Hunt Kalas Baker DaSilva Smith Benkovic Patterson Palmer Elliason Wells Subs: Maeenpa Williams Periera Afobe Rowe Nagy Vyner Watkins Fammy Gives us a solid base, and allows the attacking '4' an opportunity to do some damage with their pace.
Hasn't Benkovic fallen out with LJ and left the club? WRONG. I can't offer to much of an opinion, see above, I only see City on the box but to my mind we don't have ONE good midfielder, other than maybe Smith. And that I believe from watching from afar is our problem along with LJ's tinkering and negative set ups.
Benkovic is a defender, are you putting him into midfield? @Redprint it was Hendrickson who had left, so I read.
Why not, we don't have a decent defensive midfielder, so pretty sure he could shield the back 4 better than Massengo
Could do, and to be honest could see Taylor Moore in that sort of position. But we loaned him out to replace him with Benkovic and play him once in a blue moon. However based on the lineups gone with he will play COD or Patterson there just to play them.
there is an amazing thing... we lose ..and the knives come out to dissect the inadequacies … of the team in general … crap midfield, crap line up, and crap substitutions etc All comments that would "say I know better than the man in charge" but never give [rarely give ] their preferred line up!!! ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL …. I believe All Lives Matter … not a just a chosen few [ last creature I saved ….a caterpillar from being walked on ]
well a little more than 48 hours to go … we really need a 3 pointer! come kick off we will know our fate as the "results are in" …! "6" of the top 6, on points play each other Forest and City both home play Sunday with Swansea & Derby home & Millwall & Blackburn Away to lower placed teams UNBELIEVABLY ONLY 3PTS SEPARATE teams 6th to 12th ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL …. I believe All Lives Matter … not a just a chosen few [ last creature I saved ….a caterpillar from being walked on ]
I’d put Maenpaa in goal for starters. REALLY no idea about the midfield. I just don’t know other than Eliasson on the right and possibly Palmer and smith in the middle - Palmer to feed Adobe. Oh, and I would not play Massengo - I’m sorry but I don’t rate him at all. I’d rather LJ stripped off and played than Massengo (only joking RP - I wouldn’t really - but I’m not a fan of Massengo) Wells and Afobe up front. That leaves out Diedhiou. I love him to bits but he isn’t getting the goals. Perhaps just give him a free role? He’s rather good in defence!!!
There's enough quality in the City squad to win 5 of the last 8 matches. There will be untold daft and dog eat dog results elsewhere in the Championship in the next few weeks. The play offs are still on.
Unheard of £25k a week salaries help and Afobe, now fit with Wells means anything might happen. Besides LJ tinkering that may hold City back is his lack of a decent midfield, even after 4 years.
1 good result for us so far my amended table looking like Brentford is auto promo... 7 of the 12 have played 2 now we need to win tomorrow or it will be a case of "you thought it was all over... well it is now" Nakhi and Benik UP FRONT … niclas korey Palmer O dowda …… hunt kalas baker da silva
Lol - I didn’t realise the game was tomorrow not today - I was going mad on the website trying to access the video! Numpty!
Would be nice to see us have a few shots at goal/ on target and actually see our midfield create opportunities for once, but we will see
