i cannot see Pellegrini playing 4-5-1 at home to Leicester, im sorry but no.

yes, play 4-5-1 when appropriate but the best teams in the league do not kowtow to relegation fighters; you play 4-4-2 and attack with intent and win.

yes ok, it's not been pretty for us recently but at home, to weaker teams, you dictate terms

A week ago I said we'd be top tonight. Beat Liverpool, beat Leicester, and Chelsea slip up after League Cup Final. Now I'm not sure we can beat Leicester the worst team in the League.

What the fuck are you smoking!!

How do virtually whole rows of seats suddenly appear on the ticket site on the day of the game? They weren't there yesterday. My assumption is that Viagogo's allocation are returned as there is zero chance of them selling.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Think they'll make a meal of this and struggle, it's happened all too often in the past. Hope I'm wrong.

Back to basics for me tonight 1-0 will do.

They'll make it tough for us and play with ten men behind the ball like every 'lesser' team that comes to the etihad does. We need to be patient cause we all know theyre gonna park the bus and up their game against us, but at the same time and like too see us more urgency to win the ball back and quicker all round play. We need to start bony imo, give him a run out and see what he can do. Drop dzeko and Kun but give them half an hour or so at the end if we're winning comfortably.

3-0 city.

Yeah, I'd take any kind of win tonight just to get us back on track. It's vital that we don't get dragged into a top 4 race with Arsenal, United and Liverpool.

I'd go for the following line-up:

Hart
Zabaleta
Kompany
Mangala
Clichy
Fernandinho
Toure
Milner
Silva
Aguero
Bony

A clean sheet would be nice, for a former centre-back pellegrini seems to have very little interest in defending and our defensive players are looking bad because of it, had the best defence in the league for 3 seasons in a row before he arrived. Look at the state of United's defence and we've conceded more than them.
