Man City V Wigan pre match thread.

[blueinsa]

I'm not surprised at the team and quite happy we're resting some for barca, our team today is more than capable of smashing Wigan

I think most of us are not worried about smashing them but rather also allowing them to smash us. The back four has the potential to make this a very entertaining match for neutrals.

But I appreciate your positivity!

"Smash us"?

Fuck me this forum at times......

Dzeko is n the bench we can blame him if we are not 3-0 up after 10 minutes ....

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

MCFC: Pantilimon, Richards, Demichelis, Lescott, Clichy, Navas, Toure(c), Garcia, Nasri, Negredo, Aguero.

That backline is there to be punished, far too much put on Barca which is the one we should be dropping.

We are playing a Championship side at home.

Uwe would give his right arm for that back 4 so stop being so melodramatic.

Strong side which should be more than good enough to get the win.

so were Watford.

You didn't happen to dip a toe into yesterdays Chelsea v Spurs comments did you? Some people on here were fuckin suicidal because Chelsea won.

 

[wattle]

Only worry is no right back on the bench. What happens when micah gets injured. Only Milner that I can work out to play there

If you insist!

It was an attempt at poetic symmetry, not necessarily literal assertion. My point was that we could be gotten at more readily, which means we can score 5 and they could score 4.

I still think we will win but I think some posters' confidence is a bit misplaced.

And, again, you can check my posts if you like, I am usually one of the most positive supporters on Bluemoon.

Fair enough mate.

What amazes me on here at times is the assumption that we are playing some type of computer football game with the cheats on and any time the opposition get the ball or manage to create a chance or god forbid, score a goal from some great play, its a calamity and its someone's fault all the time.

Wigan are a decent side and its the cup, they have fuck all to lose and will come and have a go but we should have far too much for them, regardless of what starting 11 we put out and to be honest, its a cracking 11.

only because we brought on as much of our defence as we could at half-time, don't dress it up as something it wasn't,

It's not a cracking 11. Have to disagree with you on that one. It's a second string 11 but with Aguero, Yaya and Nasri as the mainstays.

Maybe we don't need Ferny for this one as we are banking on all-out attack and goals. Let's hope it works out that way.

 

[Dogtanian]

Fuck me its only been on tv 1 min and Dave is harping on about his broken leg.

 

[kaz7]

Dave mentioning his leg already

I agree with you regarding the "play station" mentality that exists with many a young supporter these days but I can assure you that any of my concerns stem from actually watching every City match (primarily on the tele but some in the stands before I moved away) since 1991.

I'll always have a bit of the anxiety of years past, though, back then I was still referred to as overly optimistic.

Will the draw be on bt sport and itv?

 

[blueinsa]

so were Watford.

only because we brought on as much of our defence as we could at half-time, don't dress it up as something it wasn't,

So scoring 4 second half goals didn't help?

Back 4, all internationals against a Championship side at home yet it isn't good enough to cope?

Give over ffs
