It's not like this Bruce in midfield thing isn't working is it? We've been doing it for weeks and we're winning games. He was always going to play tonight, especially with no Meyler to take his place.
Well SB is going for it, I think he sees that they are vulnerable at the back, and hopes the back 3 and Bruce can contain their attaching force.
SB got us to this point, lets trust that he knows what he is doing. Otherwise we are all going to die of a heart attack before the game even starts.
Why did SB bring Fathi if he remains on bench when he is perfectly fit ?! Why he brought him in the first place if he is no use for the team? Damn pull your baby boy from midfield and bring on Fathi for **** sake !
Tonight's Teams: City: Stockdale, Chester, Hobbs, Faye, Elmohamady, Brady, Bruce, Koren, Boyd, Gedo, Simpson. Subs: Jakupovic, Rosenior, Evans, Cairney, Fathi, Quinn, Proschwitz. Watford: Bond, Hall, Briggs, Cassetti, Ekstrand, Anya, Albi, Battocchio, Chalobah, Deeney, Vydra. Subs: Bonham, Doyley, Pudil, Buaben, Geijo, Yeates, Forestieri.
Could it have been a 'Here's Gedo, but you have to take Fathi too' deal? We don't know what was agreed between al-Ahly, Allams and Brucie.
I think SB has been in this position before and he is far too professional to drop him cos an armchair internet manager tells him to. WE are not privvy to the goings on of a training session, so shut up whining you bitch!
Bloody hell, that is one hell of an attacking team. AB not ideal (in midfield) but let's see how it goes. Trust it to be the one that's not televised! Enjoy and give it large!
Attacking lineup.. I remember walking out at Emirites and seeing Brown had picked 3 strikers.. and look what happened..
Going to be a fair few goals in this one, methinks They've a baby in goal tonight - only 7 games for Watford. COYH With Bond in goal they've shipped 9 goals in 5.5 matches. Bruce must smell blood
