City to win 2.1 Bravo never puts a foot wrong, Vinny returns outsprinting every Spurs player that pushes the ball past him, then sprints a lap of the pitch at the end holding Bravo aloft..........I've had new meds form the docs, no real adverse affects as yet

Allowing PL attackers to easily slip our defensive line does that

Our defensive line is non-existent. Fullbacks are higher up the pitch. A long ball comes to a tall center-forward, who is covered by our 2 CBs. The 2nd ball is key here. Yaya doesn't get it ahead of their No.10, neither our slow fullbacks ahead of their wingers. Outnumbered with the ball in a dangerous position, just with a long ball. A change in strategy is a MUST or we can hope that Fernandinho is in unreal mode every week.
 
Fernando had an excellent game at home to this lot last season when Fernandinho was also missing.

It only fell apart when Pellegrini went for broke and subbed him after that ridiculous penalty and we had to chase the game.

It might also need extra legs in there with Delph.

I would actually let them come on to us and play counter attack, otherwise they have far too much pace to contend with.

It could easily be one of those freak results where we end up winning by three or four if we somehow managed to score first.

Yeah, I think Fernando is a must on Saturday. Played well against Arsenal too.

I think we might revert to a back three (Stones, Otamendi and Kompany, if fit, or Sagna) and pack the midfield.
 
We need Vincent Kompany back, he will put some fight into the team.

We're Man City we fight to the end, the Boys in Blue never give in.









Will someone please tell Guardiola that, he has conceded already, we don't concede until May and not even then unless we are still 10 behind!!
 
Willy
Otta Komp Stones
Fernando
Stirling Kev Merlin Sane
Jesus Sergio

Fuck it. We cant defend so lets just go for it. We'll let 3 in whatever we play so might as well try and outscore everyone. And if Bravo is not dropped for turning his back on a shot and letting 4 in then he never will be

They gave in on Sunday mate
 
If nothing else it should be a good game to watch. The Chelsea and Arsenal games were both crackers even if the first went against us. I like the type of football on show in these games better than the dross Burnley serve up.

pretty sure pep hinted at a change of tack in his interview/post match presser of sitting back, i actually think its the way to play spurs, stop their full backs raiding down the wings
