Blue Armour 4,439 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Hmm..this week's results have made this clash even more interesting. Prior to that, the form table was truly turned. But this week, Chelsea winning and City losing badly to PSG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluewillie 1,930 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Still think we’re going to get mullered, especially after last nights hammering V PSG Reddish-Blue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHulk 2,456 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Depends if we actually take our chances, gonna go with a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 A decent Chelsea v a very average City and they still beat us with ease, another Sanchez calamity incoming, can see it. Marmoush will score, we love conceding to new transfers and old players Reddish-Blue and bigbluewillie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mário César 1,271 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Dias is out witch is good news for us and city probably will save players for the game against brugge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lluubbeenn 173 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I don't see them protecting anyone. They will want the 3 points against us as a boost for both top4 and the game against Brugge. Our last win against them was the cl final. Even with their poor form a win for us will be monumental. COYB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If our wingers or striker could actually score like Hazard, we would be in with a chance. Prediction 2-1 to City. It's Teacher vs Student and Pep will want to prove a point 😆 bigbluewillie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laylabelle 9,535 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Never know...we've had some random draws a few times so maybe another of those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsblubot 3,595 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 We need to defend a lot better than we've been defending to get anything out of this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,324 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I would be optimistic if we have 2 midfielders available. But only Caicedo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Enzo maybe available according to Maresca. Colwill as well- Hopefully both are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizy 18,914 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 So if Levi is back fit it’ll probably be Reece, Trev, Colwill, Cucu as the back 4. That’s actually a pretty interesting and potentially good back line to use against a side like City. What’s annoying is that this would’ve been a game where Lavia thrived in and been super important for the team. And if that becomes apparent tomorrow and City run through our midfield easily I hope it kicks the board into action in the final days of the window.

robsblubot 3,595 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Wish we had been playing better lately. Just watched the recording of their PSG game, and boy they are totally beatable. Tired legs, disinterested players, letting a free man heading the ball in... it's all wrong. Pep may be a tactical, rather system, genius, but glad to see that squad building is still difficult even for him. I'm not sure about strategy; think I'd still start Neto and Noni for the pace and work rate, and then bring more creativity in as the game develops. Hard one because attacking them may be the right strategy at this very moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
