Batman Posted 25 August, 2013 Share Posted 25 August, 2013 Cardiff look quite handy nice to see city playing with 2 up top. think we will see that more and more in a 4-4-1-1 type of formation. certainly see saints doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 25 August, 2013 Share Posted 25 August, 2013 (edited) Going forward I think we'll be playing in the same sort of way as City are at the moment. They have natural width with Navas and their full backs are far better at running the line than ours, but I think the way they use Dzeko, Aguero and Silva is quite similar to what we'll be looking to do with Lambert, Osvaldo and Lallana respectively. Most teams have (rightly) tightened their defensive organisation over the summer which is why - combined with a lot of new strikers finding their feet - quite a lot of the early fixtures have been dull affairs. It'll be interesting to see whether Cardiff are only loading their penalty area for the likes of City or if they'll be defensive against teams like us.

S-Clarke Posted 25 August, 2013 Share Posted 25 August, 2013 Man City will not win anything if they have to play Garcia for any long period at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 25 August, 2013 Share Posted 25 August, 2013 Man City will not win anything if they have to play Garcia for any long period at the back. They'll be relieved for the international break - they've got Stoke away and United at home immediately afterwards. Nastasic is on his way back I think and if Kompany's out for a month he might be fit to start against United. Might bring someone in before the window shuts as well, of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuncanRG Posted 25 August, 2013 Share Posted 25 August, 2013 1-0 City, class strike from Dzeko. Backheel from Aguero and in from 20 yards. Cardiff have got to open up now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted 25 August, 2013 Share Posted 25 August, 2013 Man city are shocking, which is great news, as I have Chelsea down as champions. Long way to go I know, but Man City I just feel will be to inconsistent again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Saint Posted 25 August, 2013 Share Posted 25 August, 2013 Not the sort of games I want Cardiff winning, but did tip them to stay up based on their home form and Citeh to finish third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 25 August, 2013 Share Posted 25 August, 2013 Citeh defence shocking without Kompany. always is, despite the 100 million or whatever it is spent on the Spanish Armada they're still vunerable if one defender is missing. Touré needs to be put out to grass, looks slower than ever and doesn't get forward any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Munster Posted 25 August, 2013 Share Posted 25 August, 2013 I'm confused. Should we be distressed that Cardiff won, or happy that Citeh lost? Last season it was a no-brainer that we wanted relegation candidates to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season it was a no-brainer that we wanted relegation candidates to lose. Nothing really matters at this stage. Wouldn't know who the relegation candidates are, or if we'd even be looking at their results anyway. Way too early to read anything to any result or table position.
