Kolarov
Otamendi
Sagna

Fernandinho
Fernando

Sterling

Sane

Augero

Let them play the high pressing shite, we need to sit deep, pass ball over their pressing midfield to Sane and Sterling and hit them on the break!

Thought we'd just decided Sane's injured.

If Sane wasn't cup tied he could do a job at left back.

Keep on reading about last seasons encounters 0-3 and 1-4 , yet they all fail to mention when there was a trophy at stake we played them off the park at wembley , perhaps its a club with no bottle for the real big occasion ? 2014 springs to mind shit themselves when they got into a position to win something . Anyway enough about Loserpool , would like to see BRAVO - SAGNA , OTTO , STONES , CLICHY - DINHO , FERNANDO , YAYA - KDB , MERLIN , AGUERO wouldnt pick Sterling it would only add fuel to the fire and i don't think he would handle the hate very well , we have been written off buy everyone pre-match just like the Rags and Goons fixtures , so the omens are good.

IIRC we were written off by all and sundry before the sick swan. Fingers crossed.

Will be very interesting to see how Pep responds to the Klopp press tomorrow.

We have seen the effect of the likes of Spurs and Celtic pressing us over the last few months and the difficulties of playing out of the back.

There is a trail of though that we may play Yaya upfront and go long, negating the Klopp press, would this be the best solution and will our recent work of winning the second balls be to our advantage??

Will be interesting to see how Pep reacts to the challenge tomorrow and the tactical battle between two great managers.

 

[BusterPhillips]

The team we put out in the 3 - 0 and the 1 - 4 last season were pretty crap in hindsight, (featured navas, mdm and bony..).. hopefully navas wont start.

Yaya up front??? That's a new one isn't it? The classic example for me where we changed that tactic was Barca, maybe something similar tomorrow.

Apparently Martinez went upfront when Bayern beat Dortmund 3-0 to negate Klopps press. Interesting to think Pep may completely change our tactics once again

I thought the Klopp press referred to the universal wankfest in the media re those world beaters Liverpool who have the three points tied up long before kick off. Just hope we can keep the goals against to single figures.

Ah wow, that would be the most bizarre change, but who knows with pep.

 

[citytill1die84]

Yaya upfront to do what? He's useless in the air so would hardly be a target for long ball I'd much rather keep his skills in the middle.

With Sane out, I hope he does start

I think a lot of City fans would be concerned at the thought of Stones/Kolorav playing out from the back when pressed, particularly for the first 20 mins. This seems a plausible alternative.

Ive got a feeling Pep will spring a surprise tomorrow.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

The ball has to stick in midfield tomorrow.... Bravo will be extremely important in finding the pockets of space, it will inevitably put them on the back foot, we just need to exploit it when we get the opportunity..... Be interesting to see where we get our width with sane ruled out, it would be a mistake sticking KDB out wide, IMO!!

Great thread title, thought you'd finally succumbed to the agenda.

Already scared after a few games this season, not sure I can take that tmrw so hoping he does have something different planned.
