Best Tactical Decision by a City manager

[Didsbury Dave]

Follwing the other thread, what's the best piece of tactical genius you remember?

I always felt Joe Royle was a good tactician.

Didn't he bring Bishop on against Gillingham at 1-0 down and against Blackburn at 1-0 down and both times Bish changed the game?

An underrated character in our renaissance was Bish, and although Royle made some big cockups I always trusted him tactically on the field.

Keegan paring up Eyal and Ali when all logic said they couldn't play together.

Reid (was it?) putting David White as a forward off Niall Quinn.

Any others?

Nope, Bish was brought on at 0-0.

I thought the way Joe Royle positioned the goalposts at blackburn in the first half on that magnificent day was pure genius

Not a City manager, but Ferguson adding 6 mins of stoppage time at the swamp?

Probably bringing Colin Bell on at half time in his comeback match .......

it was the last thing Newcastle wanted to see , and with good reason!

Sven, with his team selection and set-up for the Munich Memorial derby.

He took a limited side to the swamp to play the eventual domestic and European champions, and convincingly took all 3 points with a tactical masterclass when there wasn't a soul on God's green earth who gave us a hope in Hell.

Nothing short of pure brilliance.

I remember outstanding invdividual performances from Ireland and Richards were the backbone of our win that day.

Oh no, that can't be true, can it? Richards is a fat-arsed ganster who's shit and Ireland's only had half a good season in his life. That's what I keep reading on here.

Wow, you've managed to derail your own thread.
