City Vs Leicester Pre Match Thread

[everythingchangesbutblue]

Fuck me i wouldn't want any of you in the trenches with me, bunch of pussies. 5-0 City. 2-3 aet in barca.

if the attitude and effort is there
both missing in spades yesterday

It was missing when we lost to swansea in march 2012 or the same month when we drew with both stoke and sunderland. It was also missing in feb 14 when we lost to chelsea and drew with norwich in consecutive games, do you remember who won the league in them 2 seasons? believe.

Leicester are playing better than results would suggest. I watched them against Everton and they should have won that game.

I'm not sure how will they will set up. Its gone past playing for a point for them, they are getting cut adrift. I think there is a chance they will have a go.

Our home form has been terrible. I just don't fancy backing us ATM. As much as we should be winning this game, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they take something.

i like your optimism mate, but i would like to see some cohones first before i join you
we downed tools second half, yes a couple of half chances near the end might have papered over the cracks.
and i don't think those games you mention were like that
i would love you to prove me wrong i really would

Very quick team on the counter attack are Leicester we really need to look after the ball I would make changes and go in like this

hart

sagna
demi
mangala
clichy

fernando
fernandinho
yaya

silva
aguero
nasri

lets be hard to break down be more than happy with a 1 0r 2 nil victory!

Various predictions like 1-0, 4-0, etc. What makes you think Leicester won't score?

Nor is it any use picking a "best line-up" for this game. It's a proper game plan and a non-stop performance from ALL the players that stands a chance of winning it.

certainly not "comfortable". Put some bloody spirit in the team, Manuel, and stop looking so bloody hangdog.

I said last game Kompany should be dropped and nothing I saw yesterday changes that opinion. He may be the captain but that shouldn't make him undroppable and on current form he doesn't deserve his place. Would rather see a more defensive minded back four without Kolarov/Zab bombing forward. Let's just get back to basics and concentrate on defending and keeping a clean sheet.
Close call between Navas and nasri but as Navas tracks back better and gives us a bit more pace in attack I'd go with him.
Whilst Dzeko has done nothing wrong last few games we need to start Bony. We have Barca coming up in just over 2 weeks so he needs game time and we need to see if he may be the answer to getting the goals we need to progress.
I accept the midfield is defensively weak but hopefully with a solid back four and Navas and Silva tracking back when required and given were playing probably the worst team in the premier league then we should beat them comfortably.

Whilst I agree it is far from over, our form at the moment is absolutely terrible. Over the last 10 games we don't even get on the top half of the form table. Our worst run since the takeover.

For me its quite simple now. We have 11 games, to win this league we have to win every one of them. Even then, I think it will be a push.

We need to focus on ensuring we finish no lower than 2nd and get our heads together for Barcelona. We need a fucking performance there.

This has another Burnley written all over it.

I'm expecting Pellegrini to make plenty of changes and ignore the fact they play 5 in midfield.

So the lineup I think will start is

Hart
Sagna (starting after not being in the 18)
Kompany (because he's untouchable)
Demichelis
Clichy
Fernando (because Pellers is fucking stupid)
Yaya
Navas (see Sagna)
Silva
Aguero
Dzeko

Result 2-2

Fernando(LOL)

 

[raymondkl92]

couldn't care less...just like the players.

same here,till he gets the sack
