Saint Garrett Posted 11 January, 2023 Share Posted 11 January, 2023 12 minutes ago, bpsaint said: Did everyone else get the text from the club letting us know tickets are available? Never known that before, seems pretty desperate. Photos in twitter suggest all the big names are in town so it’ll certainly be an arse whipping tonight, although I fully expect Pep to tell the team to back off once they get to 0-4. Id fully expect to see the likes of Ortega, Lewis, Ake, Phillips, Palmer, Alvarez along with some bigger names depending who Pep is planning on playing at the weekend. They'd all walk into our side though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they play it on the floor so doesn't really make a difference. Also may encourage Jones to go even more 'long ball' than normal. In fairness could work tonight.

Goal was right in front of me in the Milton. Lost the reply 2-0 on that plastic pitch, we were never going to win up there. That was the year of that great team. Forest beat Oldham in the final.

macca155 Posted 11 January, 2023 Share Posted 11 January, 2023 (edited) Weather is interesting should act as a leveller at the very least. Best take my coat. Expecting a loss, no problem with that, City are probably the best in the world right now. Key for me is a decent performance that stops the crowd becoming toxic again. Rebuild a few bridges. The atmosphere has to be more supportive to the team. I don't mean the crowd has to change (perhaps a bit more patient) but what we see on the pitch gives some hope.

Saint86 Posted 11 January, 2023 Share Posted 11 January, 2023 (edited) 5-3-2 then, but i fancy JWP, Lavia, and Diallo as a better midfield 3 than Jones has fielded so far. Interested to see how Armstrong and Mara get on. What does it say that i was dreading a worse line up? 🙈 The fact that city's weakened team can still comfortably feature players like foden, grealish, alvarez, laporte, walker, and cancelo.... with Haaland and KDB on the bench. Actually horrific. Edited 11 January, 2023 by Saint86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igsey Posted 11 January, 2023 Share Posted 11 January, 2023 Actually quite like the look of that, at least the shape if not the personnel. ABK over Lyanco and Che over Armstrong and that would be a half decent line-up. Glad to see AMN nowhere near this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
