Could be, maybe we are going with 3 4 3

O'reilly is far more effective as a roamer floating in to 2nd striker being tied down in to a midfield role ain't good for him

 

[SWPISHOME]

He will surely request a transfer at season's end.

Hopefully.

 

[waspish]

Think pep believes Arsenal won’t be dropping any points with the three games are left for them

 

[Ajm1985]

Midfield is an issue. I know Nico G didn't have a great game against Everton but part of the reason is rust - don't see the benefit of this approach

 

[bg1968]

No Rodri, no answer. That is a frighteningly weak midfield against a team who will bully us. Even if O Reilly steps into midfield, Ake will get exposed for pace.

Lack of pace and steel in midfield and defence could be our undoing , especially if we play our usual very high line , three points is the only thing that matters , cant see us scoring a hatful today.

 

[SWPISHOME]

We have two midfielders who want to roam

One of which busts his bollocks.

The other is a complete waste of time.

 

[heslops barnet]

Written this one off ……

 

[OntarioBlue]

Any particular reason why you decided to join a City fan message board in the last couple of weeks?

The other Arsenal fan who posts on here is ok but this guy is clearly a WUM.

That line up screams of Pep conceding the league, I do hope however that I am way off the mark and the boys put on a masterclass

True but we can’t rely on Bernie and Reijnders to control midfield

 

[heslops barnet]

Doesn’t like a tackle though.

Has a nice bright smile though

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Think I said it the other day but you do live up to your name!

We need to as half the 'fans' on here have City beaten before the 1st whistle.

 

[pepguardiola'smoustache]

for anyone who is interested,
neil warnock is the guest on the mancity.com pre-match programme.
he is already cracking the jokes.
plus the lovely keith curle.

 

[Chak19]

Fuck me that midfield.

I think it shows Pep thinks we can only win this on GD (ie Arse draw one). Which is prob true

 

[Claytop]

Has a nice bright smile though

That’ll cheer me up when he pulls out of every 50/50 today, or he smashes one in to row Z, or dribbles it out of play.

 

[Revolver]

gg

We have two midfielders who want to roam

One of who likes to play with a big smile on his face. Which may be some consolation if tonight doesn’t end well

Still waiting for S1 Ep2

Definitely not one you’d want in the trenches with you

 

[pudge]

He doesn’t rate Nico G one bit does he.

With good reason
