Happy to have him missing against us (not that it'll make much difference lol), but this could be enough to give Arse or Pool an edge over the season. Either of those winning the league is pure Arse will be looking at us in Saturday as a game City could drop points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Rodri is their most important player. It's a huge bonus for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roids Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 We look off, lacking the intensity and sharpness of the last two seasons. Would like our chances otherwise, would happily take a point at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 I think we need a game like this, in a weird way I think it suits us and hopefully bring about some focus this week. I think we’ve got a chance but the issue is they can score at anytime, if we’re not on point they will slice through us. We could be playing well and find ourselves 0-2 in a flash. I’ll be optimistic and go 2-2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paully Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Perfect game for me (I feel stupid saying that!) - we've given them a hell of a game up here these last two seasons and with it being live on TV, our under-performers need to show up after being linked with £80m to £100m moves away in the summer! Rodri out is massive and hopefully KDB is too. Having said, 0-3 no doubt! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Still think Tino is our best left back currently. Surely Tonali starts and Gordon will be fortunate to keep his place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Yeah, I'd love to see: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Burn/Kelly, Tino, Tonali, Bruno, Willock, Gordon, Isak, Barnes But if Miggy is coming in (which I'm not totally opposed to) I'd want Barnes to keep his spot on the left.

Pilko Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 (edited) Expect this might not be a popular take but I'd bring Sean in for this one. We'll have fuck all of the ball anyway and we could do with his energy, running and ability to generally spoil. I would also be tempted to leave one of Gordon or Isak out given their poor form and go with Joelinton wide left, Barnes right and then one of Isak/Gordon through the middle with Sean, Tonali and Bruno behind. Not sure what approach Eddie will adopt and it's probably the sort of game we don't need at the minute, where we will struggle to recapture any rhythm due to City's style and possession. Hopefully we can at least avoid a pasting & compete well regardless of the result, and then use the Wimbledon game to hopefully build some cohesive attacking momentum.

toon25 Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 1-3 or 4 Isak for us. Can see them coasting to a win. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 (edited) Considering we've had a week off, Man City still look iffy at the back to start season off (and now have no Rodri), if we don't come out guns blazing with a full press, I will be more annoyed than anything else. Edit: It's fair enough if we lose it/draw it due to them having depth to throw on for final 20+, but first half really should be all us and putting them under pressure. Need a performance and energy to get fans going. Edited September 27 by Sibierski Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
