I don’t expect Gundo to start in this one, I think he played full 90 on Tues because of it.

I think the front 6 will be:

Rodders
Bernie
Kev

Jack
Phil
Raz

Hardly any goals from that front three, just phil

Enough goals in the team though, predicting which players in our team will score the goals is just guesswork. and it will most likely be a low scoring game anyway.

 

[Zinchilla]

I'm guessing it'll be a combination of Foden/Sterling/Jesus out wide to keep the fullbacks pinned back.

Agree, and Grealish to be factored into that as well. The tricky bit is who plays false 9 - I’ve always preferred Kevin or Gundo further forward.

Well we know gabs and grealish score very few

Yes, but that isn't the point, this will be down to a team performance,defensively and pressing as much as attacking and if Jesus and Grealish are seen as an important part of that team then whether they or somebody else score the goals doesn't matter

I want our wingers opposing TAA to really go at him. Mahrez or Sterling can give him nightmares as he is just poor defensively.

 

[Mancity1980]

I am pretty sure we will have most of the ball and the chances but my concern is our finishing. If we get the opening goal I don’t think they will get the 3 points they need, if they sucker punch us first it will be difficult to prevent that. It is a season defining game and with little between us at this late stage a bad decision (and we have plenty in moments like this) or a mistake could be fatal for our seasons hopes.

 

[Withnail]

It’s going to come down to who wins the midfield battle, and can thread them balls through to the attackers, I worry about Laporte, his positioning and lack of pace.

If that's true then we should win as we have a lot more quality, but the key to stopping the Dippers is stopping the supply imo ie TAA and Robertson.

 

[Mr HJ]

I have a sneaky feeling this will be the game when Jack really arrives. Bernardo and Kev will run themselves to a stand still and Phil will worry them but I can see Jack making a really telling contribution - don't know why I feel this and of course Pep may surprise us with an unexpected lineup - either way we work hard and our quality wins the day.
