He needs dropping and replacing with Akpom up front or Powell just off. We aint scoring with him in the team so time for a change
We need pace and aggression on both wings. Switch Snodgrass to the LW in place of Clucas and put Elmo back on RW for his pace, crossing ability, and strength in the air. Powell showed me nothing today other than two good FKs in the first half. He was shocking in the second half and appears to have no awareness of other players runs into space, Odubajos wide open run into the box on the left was a prime example when we were only 1-0 down. Definitely let Akpom start with Hernandez and rest Mo. So... McGregor Odubajo Dawson Davies Robertson Elmohamedy Hayden Livermore Snodgrass Akpom Hernandez A win over MKD is a critical 3 points to bring us back in contact with Burnley who could well lose to Hudders. Another 0-0 draw would be devastating to the teams confidence. We need to push up and attack from the get go. Elmo, Snodders, and the two WB throwing caution to the winds. No slow square/back passing MF buidups. Lets do a Leicester. We have the speed. Come on Bruce...go for it!!
MK are ****, we need to be absolutely battering them, anything less than 10-0 and Bruce needs to go. And if we can't break them down in the first half, we need to switch to 3-5-2 early on, making the same mistakes week after week is not acceptable. Meyler shouldn't be in the squad after last night, Clucas should be dropped to the bench, as should Diame who needs replacing with Powell or Akpom.
I have. 5 letters, begins with B. Clueless. Likewise bringing on Elmo the other day with 90 secs or something left. WTF was that all about. He HAS to stop playing Diame in whatever role it is he's supposed to be playing. It isn't ****ing working!! Play he where he should be played and we have probably the best player in the whole division.
But we need to start scoring! 3-5-2 abels us to have Abel & chuba up front! At least at home where we're struggling to get by the buses.
My understanding is 3 centre-halves at the back is all about stopping the opposition 4-4-2 in theory means you have more attacking players on the pitch. Maybe we should go all out 4-3-3 and **** it
We need to turn up on Saturday MK are fighting for there life in the championship, I for one with city's track record against teams in the lower half,don't think it will be easy.
We do. We need to be at it from the start or i can see the Natives getting restless. I don't see it being easy at all.
The last thing we need on the pitch for Saturday is 3 centre halfs. Drop Davies play Maguire and Dawson, both can bring the ball out of defence. Sit Clucas and Snodgrass narrower, with Hayden and Livermore in the middle. Upfront I'd go Akpom and Hernandez. Hernandez been a bit deeper. Get Robertson and Dave to push wide and overlap like mad. Oh and ban Clucas and Robertson from passing the ball to each other fine them 100 quid everytime they do. Alan Dave Dawson Maguire Robertson Snoddy Livermore Hayden Clucas Hernandez Akpom
The defence has been a strength so to suggest changing it and going to three at the back is crazy. I would pick Meyler, along with Livermore, Clucas and Snodgrass in midfield. Meyler had a poor game last night but the MK Dons game is the perfect opportunity for him to make amends. He and Livermore together have been a strength in midfield - long may that continue. Up front should see the return of Hernandez and I would play Akpom with him, though Powell, and Aluko both have claims. The last person I would pick is Diame - he is fast becoming a liability, which is frustrating.
Changing the defence would be mad, but playing Meyler (who was utterly appalling last night) is a good idea? Righto.
