4-2-3-1.. Clog up the middle and deny Kane the ball. I love Rodri but Kane has abused him for the most part in the league.

Ederson
Lewis Dias Laporte Cancelo
Rodri Phillips
Foden Alvarez Grealish
Haaland

Phillips? He isn’t up to this game. I doubt we will see him again for a while. Id rather Lewis play in that space than him.

something has to change but who do you pick when everyone is out of form?

Spurs to win 3-2 with a shot count of 25/4 in our favour

That’s my point though, do you not find it odd that most players are out of form at one time?

 

[Goater=Legend]

What would be nice is if we started playing from the start instead of having to wait until the second half.

Ederson Walker Dias Stones Cancelo Rodri Bernardo Gundogan Grealish Alvarez Haaland

Why do people keep putting Alvarez out on the wing in perspective lineups? Has he ever played out there before?

 

[SamBlue]

If there was ever an easier team and game for us to get back necessary confidence, come on City!

 

[WNRH]

Alex Williams

Lewis
Booth
Ake
Natalie Pike

Moonchester
Rodri
Fanzine Danny

Danny Wilson
Haaland
Summerbee

At least it would be more entertaining than watching elite players pass it back and sideways for 90 mins.

 

[Manc123]

For me the team would be

ederson, walker, dias (if fit enough) stone (if fit) cancelo
rodri bernie gundo
mahrez haaland grealish

if stones not fit or dias then laporte would come in. id sit kdb and foden out for this one personally

I don't think we have it in us too have that many shots anymore.

 

[wattle]

I’d think a change of formation is called for. A version of 442 for me. I’d go for
………………………….Ederson…………..………………
Walker…..…Stones?…….Laporte…….Cancelo
Mahrez………Lewis…..….Rodri……...Grealish
…………………Alverez……Haaland………………….
But who fucking knows

 

[come-on-barney]

Think we missed Rico today, would start for me.

Love to see him start as we have more midfield control - but just a bit unsure of him against Son defensively.

 

[MillisleBlue]

Likely to be the depression of today’s cheated defeat speaking but Spurs, as usual, will find a way to show us our arses again. Fully expect Kane and Son to be given the freedom of the pitch and 1 shot = 1 goal, 2nd shot = 2nd goal etc etc. Meanwhile we’ll have 97% possession and do fuck all with it.

A must win this to get our season back on track! I’m so sorry to all the happy clappers but face the reality- we ain’t been that good this season! Doesn’t mean I’m not supporting the team I just have the guts to be honest about how below our usual standard we are! Of course we can turn it around but things have to improve fast if we want to be in the shout for any silverware this season!

Depends if this is all CL or bust. If that’s what this season is about I’m all aboard.

Very risky strategy though! As we know all too well the best team doesn’t always win that one. I’m confident we can turn it around but the players and Pep need to get to work and sort out our lack of creativity and defensive issues!

Then we are in with a shot, right?

Totally! Lol
