Salford City (H) - Sat 11th Jan, 17:45 | FA Cup | Pre-Match Thread

Nunes at left back? Wonder if that 35-1 for the Salford rags is still available;-)

 

[NptonBlue89!]

don’t know what to make of it I’d of started a few more regulars can’t quite work out positions either they will be loving the counter attack today

 

[heslops barnet]

Expecting usual BBC anti-City bias, price comparisons etc. & multiple mentions of rag owners……

 

[Brox blue]

Well if Walkers playing

If you believe what you read in The Sun, he’s back with his missus and she wants him to make the big money move to Saudi. I guess net worth of somewhere close to £30m just isn’t enough !

he was in Selfridges in town at 4pm shopping, so perhaps he needs the dosh

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

We're shit but not that shit.

7-1 City.

I had us down on the Match Predictor as 4-1 with Foden scoring first. That’ll only happen if it’s still 0-0 on 70mins.

 

[bell_mcfc]

Nunes as RB, JSP as CB, Ake as LB and Gundo to play as the pivot I imagine

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Not quite sure what our defense looks like. No Walker anywhere?

Nunes and McAtee at the full back positions ?

 

[hihosilva]

Not many defenders in that lot! Be interesting to see where everyone plays.

Savinho and Doku presumably wide and Ake and Simpson Pusey in defence. Mubama presumably up top. Leaves Grealish, McAtee, Nunes, O'Reilly and Gundogan who are all CM players. I guess Nunes might be full back.

No Walker in the squad. Interesting!

 

[PragueBlue]

Is it

Nunes...JSP...O'Reilly...Ake

Grealish...Gundogan...McAtee

Savio...Mubama...Doku

?

Possibly but I'd swap Grealish and McAtee round. Possibly the same with Doku and Savinho. Who knows with Guardiola though? Maybe O'Reilly is in a double pivot with Gundogan and 3 at the back.

 

[Gazza]

Competition time - Which minute will they first refer to the cost of the sub's bench?

4 minutes

 

[failsworthblueboy]

I don't understand risking Ake for this. But I guess there are no other options.

He's in Goal mate, Ederson is LB.

 

[01cravend]

Is it

Nunes...JSP...O'Reilly...Ake

Grealish...Gundogan...McAtee

Savio...Mubama...Doku

?

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Stand by for KDB having to glow crimson, second half.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

And that is why I said I wouldn't even attempt to pick the XI. Haha.

 

[OntarioBlue]

Competition time - Which minute will they first refer to the cost of the sub's bench?

4 minutes

No, way too late, before kick off

 

[the blue panther]

Honestly hate that we're playing this lot. Anything less than 5 nil and the media will be all over it. Don't be surprised to hear the rags mentioned at least 30 times

Scousers only beat Accrington 4-0!
Hope it's comfortable but any win'll do + no injuries.

 

[citymacc]

Competition time - Which minute will they first refer to the cost of the sub's bench?

4 minutes

Before the match starts!

 

[theres only one carlito]

Eddy fly goalie?

 

[bell_mcfc]

Positionless football. Love to see it.

 

[mexico1970]

Pep giving the fake rags a chance here.
