It s a must win game and everybody in this club should be alert .Even the ball boys.
We don t need special tactics to win this.All we have to do is ... run , press , double mark , steal and pass quiklly at Kun and Sterling.
We have to watch again all our embarassing defeats and get inspired by the opponents coz somehow we are enable to learn from our mistakes.

I expect Yaya to be on the pitch for longer than any of us would've liked and be totally absent in the game.

Not looking happily at this one, tbh.

Whilst I agree to a degree, the negativity about some players is getting utterly boring. We're not in the 90s. The PL is geared for teams to carry players having an off day. It is a team game. Perhaps one player looks sluggish because they have instructions that haven't been carried out to them. We're too gung ho as fans.

They tanked us at WHL. Time to bounced back and extract some vengeance. Playing with heart and spirit is needed. That and organisation.

Pellegrini will set up like today with basically the same team and we will get tonked.

Not that he has some options this time though, we'll have 12-13 senior players fit for it.

Hart

Sagna - Kompany - Otamendi - Clichy

Fernando - Fernandinho

Silva - Toure - Sterling

Aguero

Silva is injured

Is Kompany back for this one?

We literally have no options other than to play Yaya. Especially if Silva is out

I guess we could try going 4 4 2 but not really too confident with that set up

I think he might be. Probably subject to training this week. If not, play Sagna there but that's been an option all season and I can only remember Pellegrini using it once.

Yaya will probably play but I wouldn't start him in any circumstance now. How much more evidence do we need? he isn't going to come good. If anything he'll get worse.

If we can tighten up the defence, then we can field a solid midfield that can press and allow for one midfield runner into their box. Yesterday no one went into the box, it was a no-go area. In Sterling/Kelechi/Aguero we have forwards who can win the game if we can stay solid at the back.

I don't think we need to win, but we must not lose. Arsenal play Leicester.
