so more hoof it and run against us thursday night doesnt bode well
thats how rags played and this lot are same

 

[SJT]

Yep, counter attacking will do us here - Pep can’t compute - defo his Achilles heel.
We rely on 100% possession - hoof the ball up, and yes PLAN B is needed at times!
fuck off DD and the shit flies of doom in peps endless protection - before you chip in!

More than 1 strategy is needed here, teams have taken a while, but, slowly come around and many now adapt to Peps style - defend/press/wait for mistake/counter - we can have all the possession we want - the onion bag needs filling NOW.

Hoping for a crazy atmosphere at the Etihad and a City 2-1 Lpool 18/19-esque performance. Its now or never Pep…

Such performances against Arsenal instead would be beneficial. 180 minutes against them would not only give us 6 points massive but crush their morale in succession. I hope that performance comes but doubtful

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

Only a few dozen times mate, it's absolute nonsense

 

[MarsLlama]

Yes. We lost to Liverpool, United, and Liverpool again back in 17/18

I remember the next game after that run was Spurs at home and I was confident they'd turn us over. Foden scored the winner in a 1-0. That was the last time I've been as down on our form as I am now.

My bad. You are correct squire. Memory clouded by one too many Talisker's. Should've checked.

I think it clouded even mine that's why I went and checked lol

back then though i felt we were just hard done by in those games, especially the spurs CL home game. We were electric in that one, just sucker punched by Son.

At the moment, there just seems to be a lack of confidence in the side, lack of chances being created, players badly out of form and not really much clue as to how we should be playing.

I think that Tottenham game was the season after

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Isint it about time our tactics against spurs involve stopping Son on the left?

 

[This CITY is OURS 14]

Arsenal have just gone away to spurs and attacked them from the off, we need to do the same, this is our fortress and we need to impose ourselves on them, a good result/performance is whats required to reignite our season, and i think we will do just that, keep the faith blues.
