If, as many on here have concluded, this is a free hit or an almost certain defeat then I would start Omur instead of Zaroury. Let the kid loose and we might just be pleasantly surprised. I’m going 2-0 City.
I remember LR calling Leicester a free hit and getting absolutely slated. No free hits in this league. Go there get a point or preferably 3 and go again Saturday
Whatever it is, we have to find a way to do a number on them. If we are to make the playoffs (a big if) we likely will have to face them at some point. Optimistic 1-1 for me! You Ull
Really good point this. If we make the playoffs then we have a chance, but we'll obviously be up against the top teams in the league. On our day I think we can give anyone a game and get points out of it. We've shown it against Leicester and Leeds already this season so hopefully we see it again tonight. Performances have been a bit up and down. If tonight's an up then there's no reason we can't get 3 points or at least 1... But knowing us this could just as easily be a battering if its one of those days we have silly mistakes in us.
This forum would go into melt down if we beat southampton 1-0 and played badly can you imagine the **** LR and certain players would get thrown at them .
If we do start Ömür tonight (which it sounds like we might be doing) I honestly think he'll cement his place in the starting 11 by helping us get some sort of result. He's got a lot about him. I don't think we'll get away with any mistakes tonight however so like most games it's nigh on impossible to call. All depends which team turns up and if anyone can produce any moments of brilliance.
Some would go into meltdown if we played well and lost. Or if we draw after playing well or playing badly. Others will have a worse feeling reading Syd’s over analysing of it all.
