I agree however to counter that we have to play to our strengths. We do not have anyone in defense who is going to win a foot race against Vardy so we have to control the ball, cut off the supply and ****ing finish at least 2 or 3 of our 21,849 chances.

Corrected for accuracy.

It is still absolutely amazing that we still have so many poor defenders.

I think its all come to the fore just recently. We can't seem to keep a clean sheet and doesn't look like we will any time soon either.
 
The RagDipperArseHaringeyMeedya are trying to reverse-jinx The Foxes by highlighting that they could end up in the bottom three today if I win a double rollover, R. SoleofSalford changes his name to R. SoleofTrafford, and a couple of PL teams get a very unlikely set of three points.

I hope Pep has instructed Sterling, De Bruyne and Silva to keep all tackles to six inches UNDER the turf, 'cos anything slightly higher will be classed as reckless, the Whistling Wanker won't have seen anything, and there'll be a ten match ban for the three, even if only one of them offends!

The Beeb and its footy experts think this is just the game for Leicester to 'get back on track' and City can be 'got at'.

0-2 half time, 1-5 full time.
 
Fuck the bbc Garth crooks, phil Neville , Danny murphy, the list is endless not a brain cell between them.

Rest assured Vardy will be diving around having seen how it worked so well for cheats of Chelsea.

Well the answers to your questions are :- I did not want to put a happy face after a prediction of defeat, and no I am not a teenager, but, I have teenage grandchildren, they also possess something called wit, which seems sadly lacking in you :-)

Oh yes. Very witty indeed.

Been feeling so depressed and anti football since the Chelsea game, I guess I should accept that it's just a show and the result is predetermined but think that's what they want; us to feel so depressed and cheated that we give up.

Had to blank the Chelsea **** at work, it's not his fault but the smug **** was all smiles, all I could think was cheating fucken ****, fuck off and don't speak to me you smug prick!

I haven't watched a single game all week apart from going to the Celtic game which was basically a glorified friendly, saying that my love for football was reignited watching City u19 come back from 2v0 down to win 3v2

I hate these cheating ****s who ruin football and will never forgive you Taylor you fucken **** dty2017

Come on City do us proud and get a win and let's win the rest of our games in December

Fuck the FA, Fuck the Referees, Fuck Fair Play, Fuck corruption, Fuck Taylor, Fuck betting Syndicates, Fuck the media, Fuck SKY, Fuck Football!!

He might have been great when he had that World Class 10 in front of him. I wouldn't trust him on Rammy park playing for the Roses and Crown tbh.

Hopefully he's just a stop gap, bearing in mind his age.

I suspect the defenders have the same level of confidence in the goalkeeper. That makes them unsure and that permeates through the team. Add to that no commanding CB such as VK we are always looking for at least two goals or coming from behind.
Look at every successful team in the EPL over the years. They have a reliable keeper. We dont. Question is will Pep recognise it or less likely will Bravo improve. My feeling is neither.

You should ask why this is when every City fan could see it before the season. It was clear Kompany would be doubtful at best so why wasn't this addressed. We dont have a Messi to get us out of a hole every game.
We knew Zabs was getting to the end and Kolarov was no good in defence. If we had a better defence we would be way top. I dont mean miles better either. Just more solid and a better keeper.
We could see the problem. Why not the management?

Nobody could have anticipated how utterly shit Otamendi has been since we signed him.
A horror signing.

I would play a back four today with Sagna and Stones in the middle, Kolarov and Zaba full backs. Until we learn to defend we will not win anything. Pep needs to go baxk to basics. Sadly I think he will stick with a back 3 and the Statue in goal.

I dont think Otamendi has been as bad as you say. But it was clear in the summer that we would be taking a risk going into this season with him as a first choiuce centre back.

I tend to agree that your proposed back 4 is probably the best available. Although its worth pointing out that it would be the 11th different defensive combination that Bravo would have played behind in 17 appearences.
 
Everyone keeps referring to our obvious deficiencies in defence. However, we've hardly been prolific in attack recently, missing simple chances (Aguero) losing the ball high up the field with a blind reverse pass (De Bruyne), or hiding behind sideways passes when it's crying out for a shot (Silva).
We looked slicker last time Aguero was suspended. Let's just dominate possession from the start, and no stupid retaliation (Nolito)
 
If it's a back 4, I would still go with Otamendi, even though I thought his performance v Chelsea was Kit Symons on a bad day.

I don't rate him but he's not usually as bad as that.

And he owes us one, as does Debruyne after that miss, which was totally unprofessional & gets worse everytime I see it.

Edit, Otamendi's suspended ?

Wtf ?

I missed that completely.

Corruption.
