Conjo Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Order seems to be restored. The season we finished 5th, most people on here were cautious and a bit pessimistic ahead of each game. Combine that with the at most times negative play we had, the two negatives became positive and we won. Last season we expected too much, and were quite positive in terms that we predicted wins a lot more. Combine that positive with the negative play, we ended up negative and lost. This season has potential. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 A spirited 2-1 loss, where we will feel a little hard done by at the final whistle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shearergol Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 we have no chance of even scoring, let alone keeping it down to two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DebuchyAndTheBeast Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 With all players fit id love to see a 4-3-1-2 with attacking wing backs. Debuchy and Santon both have great attackign ability from deep so I really think it could work. Krul Debuchy Saylor Coloccini Santon Sissoko Anita Cabaye HBA Cisse Remy Good idea playing narrow and leaving our fullbacks exposed to their wingers and fullbacks who like getting forward That's why its important to keep the ball and press very high with intensity. Look at Liverpool their fullbacks provide the width but its effective because they press high with intensity and keep the ball well. Pardew would never do it though. Highline?

BottledDog Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Would be a disaster for us to score, or win. Would give people false hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussiemag Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Wouldnt be surprised if Cabaye doesnt play and Gosling replaces him, with this fucking management setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 2-0 City. We'll be competitive first 20 minutes, they'll score and dominate until half-time. We'll have a couple of early chances, with something like a good penalty shout, tight offside or something going against us, before they score again and stroll the last half hour.

Elma Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Think it will be this: Krul Debuchy Saylor Coloccini Yanga-Mbiwa Cabaye Tiote HBA Sissoko Gouffran Cisse Not sure if Krul or Elliott in goal but I'll go with Krul. Will more or less be 4-5-1 with Sissoko doing his best to support Cisse. That means little or no service and pretty much accepting a slow, painful defeat.

Colo and Yanga-Mbiwa are not good and technical? and Yanga-Mbiwa is not pacy? Besides Dortmund and Bayern hardly have the quickest and most technical defenders in the world.

Ronaldo Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Agreed. Colo is a bloody good player and what he lacks in pace he usually makes up in intelligence. Not when we play a high line he doesn't. He doesn't stand a chance in that position against quick strikers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
