its amazing how posters belittle every other team that the dippers beat at that shithole yet now because of a couple of injuries can see us getting stuffed by 3. For fuck sake if we are properly prepared and do not play a high line with our full backs awol then we have every chance of beating the ****s. We need Fern at DM, of that there can be no doubt.

What happens if he's at CB, which is more than likely?

 

[mccity]

9-0 City. Gundogan to score 8 of them with assists coming from Mahrez, Bravo, and Mendy. Jesus scores a penalty.

 

[B\connellblue]

Then our chances are compromised.

 

[2bluejacko]

That's likely the starting 11. Personally, I'd do this.


....….............. Sterling........ Aguero........
Angelino..Gundogan.. Dihno..Kevin.....Cancelo
.......... Otamendi..... Stones........Walker..........
...,......................... Eddy

NO BERNARDO in any of them teams, yet when we beat them 2-1 at home he was outstanding
Ederson, Walker, Stones, Ota, Mendy, Kdb, Dihno, Foden(but he will pick Gundogan), Bernardo, Sterling, Kun...

 

[Zenmanc]

Rodders has NOT been training with the lads barr a stretch,eric is out till jan at least but i think you know that..

Hah ha... For most here a stretch is their version of a hard work out.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

3 at the back for me, with plenty of pace, wingbacks providing width and delivery. Allowing us to crowd the midfield and get bodies into the box with 2 up top. The final third is always a problem for us at anfield, Sergio has been non existent in every visit in recent times.

Ederson

Walker Stones Ferna

Cancelo Mendy
Gundo
Kev Bernardo

Jesus Sterling

We have played 4-1-4-1 ever since Pep arrived , he will not change a formation or style of play for the Dippers , our players are used to a system , we will let Klopp worry about us , Klopp has changed his system in the last two games against us and has been more cautious. Klippety will not Gung-ho because we have the technically gifted players to pick them apart ,anyone predicting a thrashing by the Dippers are well wide of the mark , yes we have injuries but we have tried and tested tactics , just different personnel , and they have to get the ball off us first. We are not going to crumble in the Klanfield atmosphere like Barca did , and i am just glad our players have bigger bollocks than some posters on here . Come on you Blues :)

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

To say I'm nervous about this weekend is an understatement. We know how we will play, they know how will play. We will take the game to them and attack as always. But having so many injuries at the back will leave us so vunerable. Would love a draw.

The game will be won in midfield , not by defenders , we have to match their aggression , no matter who pulls a blue shirt on he will have the ability to hold on to the ball and take the sting out of their intensity style game ,thoroughly looking forward to it and not as daunting as a Derby game at the Swamp in the bad old days ,were i was constantly nervous of a hiding.

Like when we played 3-5-2 and beat them 5-0 at home

Well it’s good to see you positive for a change but you’ve chose the wrong game to do it.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Yeah , thats right when the opposition go down to ten men ,you would be f*cking stupid not to change your own tactics

 

[abu13]

Not too sure why people are talking about dropping Gundo, he is Pep's go to guy and will start every big game we play. The fact is that the DM position is his best position and he won't be dropping him to put Ferny in there when he has been playing so well in our defence.

 

[super_city_si]

Yeah , thats right when the opposition go down to ten men ,you would be f*cking stupid not to change your own tactics

Hahaha we started with 3-5-2.

 

[SWP's back]

Yeah , thats right when the opposition go down to ten men ,you would be f*cking stupid not to change your own tactics

We started with 352 in that game though.

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

Hahaha we started with 3-5-2.

Wrong again 3-1-4-2 actually , and 5-1-2-2 when defending , and Pep will not diverse from his 4-4-1 on Sunday HA,HA

 

[super_city_si]

Splitting hairs mate, its the same as 352. I agree, i think he'll stick to the regular formation but don't kid yourself he wont change it if he doesn't think its the best use of players available. 352 might be better considering we finally have loads of fullbacks but no central defenders and it will kill their fullbacks.

 

[SWP's back]

Yeah that’s a 352. Stop digging.

and it’s certainly closer to a 352 than it is a 4141

 

[jimmygrimblesboots]

3-1-4-2 mate , dont think Pep has used that formation for the last 100 odd games , and we haven got the three in form centre backs required to play that system now , no doubt super si City will be perusing the internet for the next half hour trying to find a formation to prove his point , which doesnt change the fact Pep invariably plays 4-1-4-1

We played 3-5-2 until Mendy got injured in 17/18, and blew most teams away, including Liverpool.
