City Vs Leicester Pre Match Thread

[ninjamonkey]

read the back 4 and got slightly optimistic, then read the rest of the lineup and let out a sigh. Fernandinho better be injured to miss out completely. 4-4-2 should work against this type of opponent but we should be playing 4-5-1 to get some kind of rhythm going. He literally sets the formation to suit whoever he deems next in line for a game with his ridiculous rotation policy.

I don't even care any more that our chances of winning the league are slim.

Just want to see these guys beat the shite out of Leicester today and give us an amazing performance from now until the end of season.

This looks like the lineup:
Hart

Sagna Demichelis Mangala Kolarov

Navas Fernando Y Touré Silva

Bony Agüero

mangala (through no fault of his own) could get seriously exposed as Kolorov offers very little defensively and neither does silva

anything other than a dominant performance will see MP rightfully questioned again about his tactical approach and set up.

Would rather have Lampard/Ferna instead of Fernando. Just to have a bit more of a creative influence on the game in midfield. Yaya should control it but Fernando doesn't offer anything in this sort of a game. Strange that Ferna and Nasri aren't even on the bench though. We have 3 defenders on the bench for Leicester at home though. Plus the keeper. That baffles me.

I'm going for 2-2.

Senor Pellegrini has clearly lost his marbles.

Why are Dinho Nasri and Jovetic out ???
Do you think Bony will contribute more than Jovetic ?

Jovetics been out for the past 4-5 games. I don't think anyone can contribute less than him. He plays a different game, the other 10 a different game. I don't blame him however, he just doenst suit everyone around him.

Ι m in the other side...i think that Bonys transfer is uselless ...we needed a midfielder or a side attacker not another striker

Don't mind two upfront against Leicester. Good chance to see Kun and Bony work together. See how it goes and if they get on top make a change.

 

[oasis-city-greek-fan]

How many times the defence stayed the same game after game ?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Schwarzer in goal for the foxes! There's twenty minutes taken up with three goal kicks!

 

[coleridge]

Where is nasri?

I am guessing we want more pace and crossing upfront with Bony there as well. Nasri would have been a good sub however but I guess its Milner, Lampard and Dzeko if we are down/drawing.

Have the feeling that Nasri is being rest/has a knock. He worked hard after returning and then seems to have faded in the last few games.
