Citeh vs. City - Match Thread

Well - many sites have Man. Citeh bouncing back from their shock Cardiff defeat.

Odds are on Man. Citeh to get goals (Dzeko), but we're reckoned to hold up well and, maybe, get goal/s of our own (no Kompany/ dodgy Hart?)

Head says 3/4-1; heart says 1-1.

 

1-1

Dodgy defending from Man City gifting us an equaliser after being slaughtered for most of the game but defending resolutely

 

This game is not the for gone conclusion most think it is. With Kompany missing Man City are rocky at the back.

Draw it is then.

 

I dont see it being a walk over. However, I do think Man City will win it.

 

With the money they have spent Pelligrini will be under pressure if they dont. It is a bonus ball / free hit for the Tigers.

 

You could well be right, Tickles.

 

I went for 1-1 as well, hoping they don't play Dzeko and Negredo though, both good in the air and we know that's Chezzy's only weakness.

 

It'd be nice to have Big Abdoul fit for this match.

 

Yes although that'd mean guessing which 2 strikers they start, if they go with Dzeko and Aguero or Negredo and Aguero I'd want Chester over Faye, only if they go with Dzeko and Negredo that Faye would be useful.

Head says 3-1

Heart says 1-1

 

I think a backlash is inevitable...4-0

 

it will be interesting to see how the Manchester city players cope with the pressure of the crowd if we can keep a clean sheet for the first 20 minutes or so, Bruce Snr will be up for getting 3 points out of the match, due to his former club as will several of our players (How is my audition for a match summariser on the TV going?).

It will either be very close, we nick a small victory or we get thrashed - yes that is stating the bleeding obvious

 

Bruce wont set his team out looking for a win. He will keep it tight, make sure we dont give them an easy game and look for a goal on the break. He knows full well we are in our own mini-league, any points form the top 6-8 teams are Brucie Bonuses.

 

I think we should play with Aluko up front, to allow for quick, counter attacking football.

Apparently Man City have been playing through the middle a lot, so we'll be looking to get Brady and Aluko on the ball as much as possible.

 

That is exactly what my head and heart are saying. A draw would be a great result.

 

You're not Erik are you?

 

He can't be, he said sorry...


And it is Man City to be fair. Despite what happened at Cardiff, they will probably hammer us.

 

We won't make it easy for them but I think their class will tell in the end. The longer it stays goalless mind.....

 

After being beaten away at Cardifif last time I expect a backlash tomorrow in front of their own fans.

I hope that our defence can withstand their pressure.

Would take a draw now. I fear at least a 2-0 loss
