    Considering our total lack of wide players, the answer is an obvious one to me. Play narrow, 2 up top, 4 in the middle. Robertson and Elmo are more like wing backs anyway, they will offer the width.

    I don't see the point of playing with wingers when we only have one proper winger in the entire squad.

    Don't play dio anywhere is the answer when you have your top scorer on the bench .
    Did you read my post? Change th ****ing formation and play your two best striking options and have a go. Not a forward who will run up and down the left wing getting in players way.

    Is it me or do others feel that so far under MP there has been less injuries happened that under SB?
    That's why I have been banging on about playing 352, You can then play your wing backs and have 2 up top. I feel it suits the players we have at the moment.

    Ok I get it you don't like diomande and you do like hernandez. So we change the formation.are you leaving robertson without a midfielder as in 433.
    I would like to see mbokani and hernandez up front too.

    I wanted Phelan as manager before the Bruce saga even started, doesn't mean he's not open to some criticism. But my main point is I'd rather have a go and lose 5 goals every match, because when we have a go, we're actually quite good and can hold our own and I believe we would stay up.

    When were Dawson Bruce & Moses injured pre or post SB exit.I have lost track.

    Also if you only play 11 there is less chance of injuries than if you use all your subs!

    Its the players.

    It's the Allams.

    Disgrace that he got given the job.

    Feeling very fortunate about my decision not to buy into the membership scam.

    The whole situation needn't have happened if they'd just not forced Brucie out for no reason in the first place.

    Then they failed to persuade another manger to do the job...

    Then they failed to sell the club...

    Then they left the transfers to the last 48 hours of the window...

    Then they failed to sell the club again...

    Then they appointed Phelan as there was no other viable option.

    Whose fault is it really?

    no one comes out of today well, Phelan has made himself look a right dick shipping 6 against a supposed positional rival, all the players on that pitch have embarrassed themselves, and the lack of investment in genuine PL quality players is once more bringing focus to the ineptitude of the owners.

    I bet if we did a poll the majority would want him gone now.

    Last weeks HDM poll had 76% of City fans wanting him appointed, I'm pretty sure they won't all want him gone after one game, however **** the team selection and performance was.

    Until the ownership situation is sorted we are stuck with him.
    No coincidence he signs a deal the same day Bruce goes to Villa or we would have had Dawson in as caretaker manager today.
    The clubs a mess of the field and is now one on it.

    It's crazy. What have people seen to want him in charge of our football team?

    They must be ****ing blind.

    People have fallen for the media spin on how amazing a job he has done under the circumstances which is true somewhat.
    Also people love loyalty and think he's deserving of his likely 500,000 + wages over 8 months.
