Jase 43,479 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 What are the odds we give them the win? 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Considering we face Atletico all the way in Romania next Tuesday, I suspect there will be a few changes for this game from the Newcastle game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,336 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 It is early kickoff so we will have enough time to rest and prepare for Atletico. Plus we have big squad so 3,4 changes are hardly going to impact the quality of the team. City is cruising the league without Aguero and KDB. System is important. I mean put Mendy, Chilwell, James, Kante, Pulisic maybe Ziyech or Havertz if fit and that team is even better at least on paper. I think for Atletico we should definitely go with more experienced players like Giroud, Kante, Azpi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jype 6,398 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) I'll go with: Mendy, Rüdiger, Christensen, Azpi, Chilwell, Kante, Jorginho, James, Ziyech, Werner, Giroud Rest Kovacic, Mount and CHO for next week's tough games against Atletico and Man Utd. And Alonso 🤐 Last time against this lot Timo scored two goals, hope for the same on Saturday to boost his confidence ahead of CL.

DANILA 290 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Soton is back to being terrible. Play Pulisic and Ziyech(?) and hope they rediscover form. Also I'd like to see 4231 but looks like we're going with 3 at the back until pre season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not broken, don't fix it. If results or performances start getting worse, only then it's time to try something else. NikkiCFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZAPHOD2319 4,819 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 (edited) I don't think Tuchel is married to anything, as he showed switching to a back 4 against Barnsley at halftime. I also like he says he is not going to make changes just for the sake of change. There needs to be a reason something gives us a better chance of winning.

Our link up from mid to attack is still pretty bad - we also haven't really played any strong teams yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our link up from mid to attack is still pretty bad - we also haven't really played any strong teams yet Sure it's not been perfect but so far it's gotten the results with solid performances, especially defensively. I think for now it's a good idea for Tuchel to just continue steadying the ship and stick with the same formation for a while. Introducing a new formation with new player roles just before some hugely important games is not really a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its been plenty good imo, suddenly we are in top 4, we press well, we look much hungrier, the structure remains at a high level for full 95min. Sure its not perfect but the signs are more than pleasing. If we can keep the momentum we will be alright till summer time.
