This time we will feckin murder them. 5-1 to the blues.

That's a big statement .…. And tbh,I've not seen enough of City with Nunes in the team to argue against it,.
But that's a big statement Simon.

I'd be very surprised and disappointed if he was still here after the summer

Echeverri was injured for Argentina I think?

Shame that, would have loved to see him in the FA Cup squad this weekend, even if he was only on the bench.

Not expecting anything from this ..
Our defence worries the fuck out of me regardless of who starts..
Dragonflies knitting is more robust…!

Yep, the whole defence has been a sorry mess all season. It doesn't matter which back four we field, it's as easily breached as Jordan's knickers

I have Frank Clark-expectation levels for this one, even though Spurs have already beaten us twice. The dismissive attitude towards the Carabao Cup both in attitude and selection signalled the start of City’s decline. We often nicked a good win at WHL late 60s, early 70s including one game when Franny Lee punched home a goal

Even when we were shit hot we struggled

Sure it was you who said something similar before the L'pool game, like your optimism though.

That's why we're trying the being shite approach

KK’s FA cup game was a cracker…..

Repetition makes truth :-)

I know, but I can feel it, the force is strong!

 

[noseve]

There's not much creativity in that middle. Just shows you how far we've declined, from having too many quality midfielders to choose from to struggling to pick one midfielder that's in form.

Trouble is - because our strength was always down to the collective playing well and thinking along the same lines in terms of effort, movement and tempo, it needs all of the players to recapture their mojo for us to fire on all cylinders again.

How can anybody expect a single player to perform the way that he was before, unless at least a couple of his team-mates join in?

In bursts, I see players who are regularly cyber-lynched on here (Foden, Silva for a couple of examples) trying to start something, but finding no support from those around them.

I know that Phil in particular is having a 'mare at the moment, but what do you expect him to do - dribble around 5 players and tuck it away?

The fact that everybody seems to have lost it can only be addressed as a whole on the training ground, surely.

It would be fascinating to hear what conversations go on in training.

Wouldn’t be disappointed with that. I get the feeling Haaland is going to go on a mental run of scoring soon. Especially with Marmoush with him

 

[citeh94]

Ederson

Khusanov
Dias
Ake
Gvardiol

Nico
Gundogan/Bernardo

Savio
Marmoush
Doku

Haaland (hopefully)

On,y if Eddie provides the assists

 

[heslops barnet]

Can’t keep up with all our injuries, is Jack crocked?

I'd look at some of the results under Bobby and Pellers....fantastic winning performances.
