stroey 2,525 Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Interesting game coming up. Will Jose play the same 11 bar Tibo and try to dominate the game?Or will we see Ramires/Mikel/Zouma coming in for Oscar, Willian or even Cesc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 After that horror start, we must win this match not to trail 4 pts on its and arseanl already. We are not good at chasing.Honestly I would just leave cesc out of this completely. He has not even shown anything vs Swansea so what will happen vs city? As we have just one quality DM, I would goBack fiveMaticWillian OscarMoses Costa hazardControl, passing, defensive stability and a bit of creativity via a rejunevated Oscar and Willian. If Costa gets his scoring boot on, we might even have a chance of winning this. Considering city only have an aging yaya next to fernandinho, delph, sterling, Silva, their midfield is as lightweight as ours so no worries.

Unionjack 7,531 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 We have to look at the season this way. At least we wont have all that bloody extra pressure piled on us about breaking records and going for 4 chunks of silverware. Its better to get our losses out of the way and finish on a high (like the bloody north Londoners)I love playing the Mancs on their own turf and I always have a great time taking the piss out of guvnors. I would love us just to put on a positive performance with each of our lads full of fight and going out looking like they up for it. Even if we lost that way it wouldn't be for a lack of trying.

Stats 7,153 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 If Fabregas plays we should just play him in his normal CM position but in a 4-3-3 position. None of this stuff where we put him in the no.10 role because he will be running around like a headless chicken. I am hoping the fact that we failed to win our first game of the season means Mourinho will open up more and hopefully we don't be as negative as we were against them last season. I would not mind seeing Fabregas be dropped for this however I assume he will play because he is one player that can create something in a blink of an eye.

Pizy 18,984 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I'm just glad we have this fixture out of the way so early.I'm predicting a boring draw. If we lose this, however, I think we're in for a long and nervy season without some quality additions. Can't afford to start like Arsenal did last season by spotting our rivals an early gap.

Can't afford to start like Arsenal did last season by spotting our rivals an early gap.Agree but the question is, if that were to happen, can they keep their lead at the top of the table like we've done under Mourinho or Fergie's United?

I doubt it.Good point and I agree. If it's Arsenal for example they'll start to struggle when the other competitions start and they have to juggle the CL and PL at the same time. Hope so anyways. I'm more concerned about us having enough firepower to claw back the others if we fall too far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I doubt it will happen. I can see the Mikel in DM and Cesc at #10 move happening.A win might be too much to ask so I'll settle for a draw. Most likely breaking out the ol' bus for this one.Set-pieces and a moment of magic from Cesc or Hazard.Would be nice if City dropped points tomorrow. Just to add to the drama.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I can see the Mikel in DM and Cesc at #10 move happening.Why would there be any reason for Mikel starting? Matic, despite the circumstances against Swansea still bossed whatever sort of midfield we had!Mikel should not be within touching distance of the starting XI. Either Oscar or Ramires should start alongside and Fabregas be dropped.. I still don't understand how Mikel has lasted this long at our club to be honest. Not saying it'll happen, but I wouldn't be surprised he gets sold by 1st September!Suppose the sale of Mikel would only happen if Jose had an instant replacement in mind.. Aranguiz.. Witsel.. but nope, he's said nothing's happening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
