FC Basel (a) pre-match thread

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

foden seems to be ahead of diaz now, maybe always was.

 

[Yarisken]

Damn Silva still not back ....

 

[kaz7]

2-1 to us i reckon,vinny is like moving a tank in recent times and they do break fast

 

[Don Karleone]

Don't think there's much between them at the moment. From the little I've seen of them both anyway.

 

[i8rags]

Then how can it be wrong or am I missing something?

Clearly, I said it’s good enough to win, not win well, it is also a gamble on fitness, if kompany and delph relapse, which is more than possible we’ve used to subs and two players out again, thought you were a blue.

 

[Newtoncc]

Course he drops some bollocks but you've got to admit he's a fucking god surely?

I don't mind who he plays i have 100% faith, this is not the era of Navas/Cliche/Sagne etc Bernardo/Delph more than capable and Gundagon played very well Saturday. He is protecting the guys coming back too,

 

[i8rags]

Maybe he will be found out. Or maybe he has the ability to be thinking 3/4 games ahead.

Found out?

 

[Bill]

Kompany has been in the squad for 3 weeks now. Delph is our only left back and needs minutes before Arsenal.

Silva is to be protected and Pep said yesterday Sané wouldn't start.

glad they are not starting. its all about Wembley now so yes minutes here and there the way to go. to be fair John needs minutes too.

 

[SebastianBlue]

I reckon 2-0 tonight so could be just a nice watch for you.

I’ll take a nice, one-sided stroll with Foden and Diaz playing.

i think foden is the better player, who pep sees as more first team ready. but you are right theres not much in it. you would have thought though diaz would be in the squad instead though tonight, being on the bench every other game and foden coming back from injury.

its great to have those two as options.

 

[rnblade]

We are fielding a team more than capable of winning tonight. Nice to see Merlin & Leroy available. Maybe they should get a few minutes IF we are comfortably ahead in the second half. I hope VK has a solid game tonight. Would prefer to see Berni and Razza swap positions occasionally just to upset the defence. Hoping we come away with a comfortable win and no injuries. City 2-0 Aguero & Razza please.

Vinny been our squads for years means fuck all, sane clearly wasn’t that injured, 5 weeks says so, silva protected for Wigan, it’s all so clear

 

[deano ou812]

Think this could be quite a close game,but as long as we don’t have any moments like Liverpool or for Leicester’s goal then we should be ok..

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

The same problem we had at Burnley when Vinny plays, incapable of passing through the lines, so jamming in Walker.

Teams are getting wise and allow Vinny to stay in possession.

Laporte and Stones every time.

 

[manygoose]

hope we get off to a flying start and get foden on the pitch somehow

 

[Deepest Blue]

I think City's form this season has seen even McPointy being a lot less biased against us to be fair, Savage there's no hope for. Keown and Hargreaves I can't recall having too many quarrels with even last season. I don't understand how Hinchcliffe has become so anti-city though, is there a reason behind it?

More and bigger games worked?

 

[schfc6]

glad they are not starting. its all about Wembley now so yes minutes here and there the way to go. to be fair John needs minutes too.

I can see Stones & Laporte Sunday and then a 3 way fight to partner Otamendi in the final.

 

[kaz7]

This will be difficult boys,they won't roll over and they break fast

 

[deano ou812]

Bloody hell,that lad up top for them looks quick as fuck from the footage they’ve just shown on bt ..
