Saturday 30th November 12:30pm It looks like Chaos has given up after suffering a loss after his impressive two game winning streak so I am willing to take the blame for a defeat to Manchester City. Good to have the opportunity to watch this while eating my crumpets by the fire at a Jakarta tea time. Only absentees are Ritchie and Lascelles so would go with: Dubravka Yedlin Schar Fernandez Dummett Willems Almiron Longstaff Longstaff St Maximin Joelinton Just think we need to shake things up in centre of midfield. Expect both Almiron and Joelinton to score in this one and can see us winning 2-1.
I see CC's reverse psychology tricks are rubbing off on you !! Think we need to be a bit more optimistic on this one given that Aguero is out. I think we'll only lose by 3 goals now rather than 5 !! 4-1 to City. Our goal will come courtesy of City's keeper punching a corner away from the goal line but the ball rebounding in off Almiron's head which he will know absolutely nothing about....at least it'll get him off the mark!
The Longstaffs are on a hiding to nothing if they both play. Their longer time potential could be compromised for a game we all expect to lose, possibly heavily. I'd go with 5 at the back, 3 in the middle, and 2 up top. Hayden, possibly Logstaff (albeit I would choose Schar) the elder, and St. Maximin as the three. Gayle as one of the front 2. I would seriously consider starting Carroll.
Same, but I'd have Almiron in mid instead of St Max, and St Max up front with Gayle. There's no point in adding a +1 to Joelinton's games without a goal record.
Let the 2 sloths stay in midfield for this 1 then put the Longstaffs in next week. We're getting pumped all over here
Btw **** thread. Oh and I’m off the cans of beer. But have now discovered cans of wine on the train. Who knew?
I can't look past us getting spanked. They lost to Norwich though, it gives a glimpse of hope. Is it wrong that i believe we probably have a better defence than City
Aguerro being out wont make a **** of a different jesus will get 3 sterling 1 and de bruyne will also score the first minute to the last will be chance after chance for them 0-5 maybe even 8 this will be an absolute embarrassment and a desperate hoof ball extravaganza from our players
its the top end you've got exactly the the of players we hate playing against and you play 4-3-3 which is our nemesis as proved once again on Monday at Villa.. plus the like of de bruyne will pick the right passes and score from outside the box when we do our defending well .. were ****ed in this one and im not even joking on this one ..
Wtf! I can take the Man Utd jibes but where has this come from? Neither of you will be using my season tickets on Boxing Day.
