Southampton Vs City Pre Match Thread

[Prestwich_Blue]

Southampton use their full-backs well so having Navas and Jovetic in probably makes sense on paper. Still have preferred Milner to Jovetic though

 

[Eccles Blue]

Crikey so many people giving in already, maybe the team should just say "that lot on Bluemoon have given up on us let's go home before the match lads!!!"


We are Manchester City, we play and fight to the end. Let's have some positive thoughts please!!!

They read bluemoon for a giggle no one takes it seriously surely

I hope no one takes it seriously. I seriously, seriously hope not. ;-)

They are moaning over the squad. This formation and team have played before and struggled against crap opposition

So open can see us conceding 2 at least.

No top sides consistently play 2 up top, without the ball we'll get overrun in midfield.

Assuming we are playing two up top

Jovetic is more of a wide midfielder is my understanding.

I hope so. I would like to see a 4-1-4-1 formation to start with. Get Yaya and Nasri close together in the centre and see if they can dominate by keeping the ball.

Good to see Mangala get back to back starts. Need him and Komps settled.

Very good lineup if we can keep the ball and take our chances. Not sure how we'll fair without it though

WIth Yaya in midfield they'll be walking onto our back four.

they don't play through the middle,exploit the wings which is why Milner over nasri would have done us a world of good

Two away games in the space of three day. Rotation is necessary.

No, they've given up before we even kick off!! Good grief, how I wish I was back to being able to attend all the matches and didn't feel compelled to come on here and read the comments!!!

We need some creativity
