[Scaley]

Does anyone know if the co op is open for a beer before the game today?

I could be wrong but I think someone mentioned on Tuesday that it won’t be as there’s a concert tonight but don’t take that as gospel mate.

 

[SamTheGuru]

Pep criticised the players for playing too safe on Tuesday night but that's what Pep has instilled into our play now. It's safety at all costs, make a hundred passes but don't dare lose the ball even if it means you're still outside the opponents penalty area. I would love to see that attacking City style come back but it seems a million miles away at present

Positionally everybody played brilliant for the press, but nobody at all was actually pressing.

 

[Phil1]

I was very pissed off leaving the stadium on Tuesday night, three hour round journey wasted for a team and manager that couldn't be arsed on the night

I bet you were a bit peeved after the QPR game because we didn’t win 5-0 and had to wait until injury time to create the best moment in our history instead.

I think your right someone else has said there's something on tonight

I bet you were a bit peeved after the QOR game because we didn’t win 5-0 and had to wait until injury time to create the best moment in our history instead.

He’s peeved at absolutely everything mate

 

[Blue Til Death]

We hate jordan and we hate jordan......

The toothless ex rag bastard not the model with the fake threepenny bits.

There ain’t many parts in or on her whole body .. Grotesque just doesn’t cover it..!!

 

[KS55]

With Phillips at CF and Ortega wide left, how can we lose? Pep is a genius.
City 3-1.

 

[ninjamonkey]

This is the perfect fixture to get back on track. I'd like to see Marmoush start today.

Where? He can only play even semi-well left wing which means taking Doku out, who has been our only threat for most of the season.

 

[SSBlue]

That's the way I understood it as well. From the highlights there was a moment at nil nil where savinho was about 5 yards outside the box with space in front but didn't want to attack it. Really strange...he chose a sideways pass so that suggests to me he is lacking in confidence. Could the crowd try to gee him up with a confidence boosting song? He definately has the ability but for one reason or another is not showing it in game moments.

What exactly did you have in mind?

He never scores at home and he never scores away.
He tries to attack but he gives the ball away.
He makes Doku look like fookin' Pele.
Sa-vinho OK

 

[HelloCity]

Pep overthinking again. Not sure about this midfield partnership for today.

Sa-vinho OK

It has a certain je ne sais quoi.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Hoping to get the 3 point win whilst also hoping that we are 3rd instead of 2nd after this weekends results. Its one of those rare times when I dont want to move further up in the table

Sa-vinho OK

He never scores at home and he never scores away,
He played shit last week and shit today,
He's drove us all to drink so we're all pissed up,
Sav-hino okay!!!

 

[hcblue95]

Him and Doku are probably both best playing left and coming central. They'd interchange well I think.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Donnarumma
Nunes Dias Khusanov O'Reilly
Bernardo
Cherki Foden Marmoush Doku
Haaland

Fuck it, they're going to put 11 behind the ball and try to counter. May as well give Nico a much needed rest. O'Reilly can come into midfield to help Bernardo. Khusanov and Nunes at the back for their recovery pace.

 

[AliBobbyJ]

Predicting a thumping 4-0 win for City. Send them back to Yorksheer on to t' moors to go a-courting Mary Jane.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Was thinking pretty much the same..how cool would it be if a song was belted out for him which lifted his confidence.....and we see a different player..

Good to hear a positive reply....the other whiners will be the first ones complaining of ticket increases but the first to suggest getting rid of players who haven't yet made the grade. Here's a question...how many people are more productive at work when made to feel appreciated and how many less so when made to feel like a loaded donkey struggling up a hill? Get behind the bleedin players...we are the 12th man.

 

[Protein Junkie]

1-1

Wow that’s positive from you Fordy :-) a whole point for us !!

 

[Protein Junkie]

It has a certain je ne sais quoi.

Mange tout ASA-mange tout.

 

[flook]

it's fucking Leeds, at home, they're 18th, lost 5 of the last 6 and -11 goal difference. Draw then :/
