City V QPR Pre Match Thread

[middleton___blue]

Even with the Guardiola rumours the team still has to remain focus.

This, I doubt it'll phase them in our remaining few games though tbh. Wonder if the players already knew about this story prior too its recent take off in the media

Errrrrrrrm. Any one remember a certain game against QPR a few seasons ago? All was set to go to plan......... THEN....Whoppppppps 1 2 down the rest is HISTORY in our favour thankfully:) 3 points is the aim in what could turn out to be a tough game. CTWD

To be fair mate, QPR had everything to play for that day, but tomorrow even the most optimistic fan or player will know that they're gone even if they pick up 3 points. Also we froze, but tomorrow we'll be playing with no pressure at all. I can only see a big win tomorrow

Also if history played that big a part in football, we'd be champions again !

Really. I've had enough of off field issues ruining team performance. Whatever dominates the papers shouldn't influence the performance of 11 ultimate professionals who we've all paid a fortune to watch.

That day we had huge pressure on us not having won the league in 44 years and QPR parked the bus and hit us with two breakaway goals aided by some shocking defending. Tomorrow they have to attack although actually that might be better for them with our shaky defence we should still have enough to pick them off...hopefully!

Keep the same team/ formation as what has just won us 9/9 points . No changes just for the sake of it. Anyone coming back fit starts on subs bench. If a player gets injured/ plays bad for 60 mins then bring a sub on. Or is that too simple? 4-0 City

 

[Lucky13]

Looking forward to watching our World famous high pressing game , 3-0.

Personally don't think Kompany should play again this season.

There's only 3 games left so he can recharge his batteries for next season.

I agree - thought he was out for the rest of the season?.

No point, really. We've got decent cover!

Exactly we need a settled back 4 . We've got one why change it.

I'm also amazed as to how many starting line ups contain Yaya , What message does this send out to Fernando? He's been ok last matches he's played but despite playing better , you'll be dropped for a guy who's performances have been well short of 5/10 a the earliest opportunity. Players returning from injury should be on bench at most then be brought on for a player who is under performing . This "Change for Change Sake" is what's cost us a decent title challenge this season.

 

[Eccles Blue]

As long as the team does NOT contain Ya Ya Toure!!

Keep the team we had in the last match. Leave Vinnie on the bench, he's come back too soon from injury too often. Let's wait until he is definitely needed or until next season.

Come on City, we fight to the end the Boys in Blue never give in.

5 Live sports news saying QPR have 8 regulars missing.
Not sure how accurate or relevant this is in the days of squad rotation, but there will be no valid excuses if we fail to get three points.

So we'll lose in typical City style then...

As long as Sir Joey is fit we can all shout our thanks to him.

What's this I keep hearing about a plane flying over the etihad later? Will it be carrying a banner or something?

Zamora, Hill, Caulker and Isla all doubts.
Onuoha suspended
Ferdinand on compassionate leave
Vargas and Faurlin (whoever that is) both definitely out

 

[malg]

First game since Newcastle at home for me today. If we don't score 5 I'm not going again.....

 

[dronefromsector7g]

QPR have nothing to lose. I expect an open game and maybe 4-2 or 5-2 to us.

QPR have nothing to lose. I expect an open game and maybe 4-2 or 5-2 to us.

Apart from their premier league status.
Going to see what odds I can get on a Dunnie og. Anything higher than 6/4 and I'm backing it.

They're literally hanging by their fingertips. They'll start cagey but if we get the first goal they'll be coming right out of their shell.
