I think we can tear them up if we get the first goal...they have to come out and play with 4 forwards and we can tear them on counter

It looks like one of the Managers has got this wrong seeing the lineups. Thing is I’ve no idea which it is.

I was going for 0-0 before strangely could be 3-0 either way now.

Interesting.

Who gives a fuck

What do you mean

 

[Barcon]

if I was a dippers fan I would looking at that line up and scratching my head wondering why we were going to the Etihad without a midfield.

I don't remember the last time they used one.

They're just going to rely on us making a bad pass, lobbing over Gundogan and Rodri to their front 4.

This is going to be very difficult.

The flip side is we can over run their Midfield as Sane and Salah won't track back and we'll expose their defence

 

[flook]

is that 4-2-4 then from the dippers? spot the tactics

 

[kalouk]

My main worry is them diving for penalties.

Happy with that XI. Pleased that Torres has been rewarded for his decent performances of late and probably gives us a bit more fluidity in terms of interchanging positions with those three up front. Thought he might go for more energy and defensive ethic in that position with either Bernardo or Foden, didn’t expect Mahrez to be completely left out.

Really don’t have a problem with Rodri and Gundogan starting, it gives us more of a shield to build our attacks from.

Don’t have an issue except we’ve lost 8/27 when they have started together. Let’s hope it’s not 9.

I keep seeing it all the time. Is "Rhodri" a genuine misspelling or is there an in joke I'm not aware of?

Sit back and lump it forward to the 4 on the halfway line
