However, it could still be the greatest season of my life if we were to win the FA Cup, we have to be all in on it, rest players in league games for it etc, if we beat Fulham.
We'll be alright. We'll essentially be playing 4-5-1 with Almiron and Gordon closing players down. City aren't on amazing form. I'd personally play the formation like this - -------------------Isak----------------- Gordon-------Miley-----------Almiron -------Longstaff-------Bruno-------------- Burn------Botman---Schar--------Trippier --------------------Pope---------------------- Let Miley go into more of a free role behind Isak and Longstaff and Bruno sit back a bit. If only we had Willock
If howe had the bottle to change formation, this could work - -------------------Isak----------------- Gordon-------Almiron----------Murphy -------Longstaff-------Bruno-------------- Burn------Botman---Schar--------Trippier --------------------Pope----------------------
Against city I’d go 451, with wingers on their strong side. Either way I think we lack balance and will get beat as we don’t have a decent cdm or cam. It’s a formation that surprised and worked, but it hasn’t for a while. My worry is Howe doesn’t have anything else in his locker.
City's strength and when they are at their strongest is unlocking teams that sit back. I'd go all out attack, get the crowd roaring and off their seats and get stuck into them. They don't like it when they're on the back foot. We can do these.
And beforehand, paint our players' faces blue and get them to raise their kilts to bare their arses to the opposition?
