Kanj Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I mean, is it better for us to do the 5-2-3 again we did for Arsenal in this? or go with our tried and trusted 4-3-3 and play our game? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 10 minutes ago, alexf said: Would argue that I don't think the 5 at the back would work here. Against City the best form of defence seems to be attack. They look vulnerable going in reverse but can still cause you problems going forward. I think if we sit off and allow Foden to do his usual stuff against us as he often does then we'll get beat comfortably. Willock I feel is the safest bet to slot in and be our legs and help on the counters. Choice may be made for us if Burn and Botman are out but hopefully Botman is fit to start with Schar. Would love to see Sven + Fab start this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howe always seems to go pretty much man for man vs Arsenal, I reckon we’ll see the standard 4/3/3 here Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I parked about a mile away to the east, down the canal path and walked along. Wasn't too bad. Actually there were people parking on the pavement very close to the ground but I personally wouldn't risk that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice one, might look at that, would prefer to walk than have to get the tram Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Our record there is appalling but our midfield and attack can really hurt them. We probably won’t have a better chance to win there. I just hope Botman is back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 They look vulnerable as hell at the back especially to players with pace. Would absolutely love a point purely due to our record there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danh1 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Never have a better chance of going there in the league and doing them. They’ll be hurting after that, they’re already a soft touch compared to normal and we’ll be full of confidence with our class record recently. Further to that, we’ve got the benefit of an extra 72 hours rest. Manchester City 2-0 Newcastle United. Standard. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
