Ipswich Town (A) - Sun 19th Jan, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[Stiff Little Wingers]

3-0 win and we will be above Newcastle. Top 4 very much still on and shows how quickly things can change.

We have shown glimpses of better form recently but need to put it together for 90 minutes and not collapse. Pep needs to manage the team better to get us over the line and the players need to work their arses off for the full game to get it won.

If we win the next 2 league games then I think a corner had been turned but both will be tough

Not forgetting Ortega’s error in the Fa Cup final last season that cost us.

First goal? that was Gvardiol and his lack of spacial awareness as much as Ortega dithering
Or second one? where the whole.defence was shite.

Both goalies are good enough to start, and both have major mistakes in them.

Considering the massive line up in a row of difficult games coming in february.

If we dont win this, top 4 is basically impossible.

 

[Damanino]

yep with the schedule ahead of us some points dropped is expected. few draws, losses in there for sure in games vs Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, Spurs, Liverpool etc.

Ipswich away is not a game we can fuck up.

You’ve read the script then….

Now it’s pretty certain we aren’t winning the league, sadly we need Liverpool and arsenal to be beating teams like Brentford and Villa

Dias is fit?

It is possibly is a game we can fuck up, but hopefully it’s won’t be.

Dias is fit?

Maya Jama seems to think so.

Covering all bases ;-)

 

[PitchInvader BHA away1983]

The Big Man’s has had a good week :0)

Just feed him the ball quickly and regularly, and we shouldn’t have to worry about the last 15 minutes in this game :0)

Hopefully!!???

 

[xgorton]

Let's win by 3 then up to 4th.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Let's win by 3 then up to 4th.

It'd be nice but I'd be happy with 1-0!

 

[I remember the kool kats]

This isn't over, it took pool 93 mins to beat Brentford.
When we get the new players in we will go on a run, and start winding the scousers in, we have won this title being 8 points back before remember? Come on City!

v PSG
Our best 11 is probably-

Ortega
Akanji
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol

KDB
Kovacic
Foden

Savinho
Haaland
Silva

v IPSWICH
We need to rotate 4 or 5 v Ipswich, but we also NEED the 3 points badly. It doesn't feel good this team, someone help !

Ederson
Nunes
Dias (risk !) *
Ake
Gvardiol

McAtee
Kovacic *
Foden *

Doku
Haaland *
Grealish

* ideally substituted on 70ish mins, so only Ake and Gvardiol play 90mims at Ipswich and PSG

 

[FLManc]

Had a dream last night were 1-0 up and they scored from a dodgy free kick in the 89th minute which VAR spend 5 minutes looking at before giving it. Full time we lose 4-1.

I have that dream every night for every fuckin match!!!

Pep looks happier than he has for a long time, here's hoping he will sign a 9.5 year contract next week :)
