Watford v City - Early Live Thread

by blueboy Sat Jan 02, 2016 10:12 am

Put this up now, as we know some are away and with the time difference, they can have their say (not that they wouldn't anyway!)

Think this is going to be a much tougher game than Leicester. Their 2 strikers are probably the best pair in the PL at the moment playing a 4-4-2. We need another big performance from the whole defence and whoever sits in front of them.

MP said he may make the odd change, but who could that be?

Zaba for Sagna? Would make sense as he needs a rest.

Sterling for Fernando with TLMLF playing further forward? Possibly.

Clichy for Kolorov? Probably, if fit...and his pace will definitely be needed.

Delph in with Fernandinho?

So, the options for the team could be:

Hart
Zaba, Ota, Manga, Clichy
Fern'ho, Delph
KDB, TLMLF, Silva
Aguero

or

Hart
Zaba, Ota, Manga, Clichy
Fernando, Fern'ho
Silva, TLMLF, KDB
Aguero

or.......................

Hart
Zaba, Ota, Manga, Clichy
Fernandinho, Delph, Kolorov
Silva, KDB
Aguero
Very Happy

I think out of those choices team 2 would be favourite. I would be tempted to use bony's strength as Watford can be uncompromising.

by blueboy Sat Jan 02, 2016 11:05 am

Can't see Bony playing ahead of Aguero - MP pretty much said Sergio will be playing and hopefully for 90 mins.

However, we could always drop TLMLF and play a 4-4-2 to match them:

Hart
Zaba, Ota, Manga, Clichy
Silva, Fernando, Fer'hno, KDB
Aguero,Bony

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 12:23 pm

Aguero being 50% slower than he normally is for a game of this magnitude if I were the manager I would pick 100% players.

Sanga Mango Otto Kolarov
Fernando Dino
Silva TLMF KDB
Sterling

KDB, Silva and Sterling to change it around and confuse the hell out of them...
Bring in Aguero later for one of the underperformers ... I would definitely not play two strikers one unfit and the other useless and neither scoring. .compromising the midfield and leaving us exposed to counters and strikers that are actually confident and scoring! Especially against our calamity defence.

But what do I know!

I'm sure she was being genuine Gsus....you must know Wensdi by now? Embarassed

by Paulpowersleftfoot Sat Jan 02, 2016 1:13 pm

Hart
Sagna Otamendi Mangala Kolorov
Fernandinho Yaya
Sterling Silva DeBruyne
Aguero
Is what I think he'll play

Hart
Sagna Otamendi Mangala Clichy
Fernandinho Delph
Navas Silva DeBruyne
Aguero
Would be my choice

by TMG Sat Jan 02, 2016 1:26 pm

Id go with your choice PPLF but Stirling instead of the waste of space that is Navas However we all know that TLMLF is a shoe in so I imagine it will be Delph to make way

by Paulpowersleftfoot Sat Jan 02, 2016 1:28 pm

I would only pick Navas for work rate away from home
Our john Inman does fuck all tracking back

by blueboy Sat Jan 02, 2016 1:47 pm

I think if anyone will be dropped for the away game, it'll be Sterling. Agree with PPLF on this...however, Navas? Yes, he works back as we know, but he'd have to pull his pisser out to justify a starting place today....

Still, who knows what the Manager will pick.

If anything, drop the lazy twat and go all out attack with Delph back to shore up the defence.

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 3:59 pm

been saying it for weeks Blue, Attack and blow them all away, will be a dire 0-0 again if we don't

by **Topdawg** Sat Jan 02, 2016 4:19 pm

If Leicester and Arsenal draw, then we have a chance to make up ground. We need to especially since Spurs are hot on our heels.

I'll go with Rich's choice but it aint gonna happen.

Interesting analysis off bluemoon about Yayas inclusion in a midfield 2 away from home

Our away results in the league and the midfield that played are:

West Brom: 3-0 Win. Midfield 2 of Yaya and Fernandinho.

Everton: 2-0 Win. Midfield 2 of Yaya and Fernandinho.

Palace: 1-0 Win. Midfield 2 of Yaya and Fernandinho.

Spurs: 4-1 Loss. Fernando and Fernandinho in midfield. Yaya behind the striker.

United: 0-0 Draw. Fernando and Fernandinho in midfield. Yaya behind the striker.

Villa: 0-0 Draw. Fernando and Fernandinho in midfield. No Yaya.

Stoke: Arsenal: 2-1 Loss. Midfield of Toure, Delph and Fernandinho

Leicester: 0-0 Draw. Midfield 2 of Toure and Fernandinho.

by blueboy Sat Jan 02, 2016 4:32 pm

Team:

Hart, Kolarov, Otamendi, Mangala, Sagna, Yaya Toure (c), Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Silva, Aguero, Sterling

by blueboy Sat Jan 02, 2016 4:33 pm

So, he says "we will change one or two players"...but doesn't Rolling Eyes

by blueboy Sat Jan 02, 2016 4:33 pm

Subs: Caballero, Bony, Navas, Zabaleta, Fernando, Clichy, Demichelis

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 4:37 pm

Gooners don't deserve to be winning, magpies missed 2 gilt edged chances.

Can't see past 0-0 unless we score early doors.

Means fuck all...WBA, Everton, Palace last minute winner, got beat by Arsenal and both goals came from Ozil who he should have been marking and Leicester.

So, he who is on £250k pw and supposed to be our Capt has proved what with those stats? One thing, he has NO fucking impact on our team!! Mad

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:00 pm

Results from other games are not good but if we win today its all open next week.

Angry scousers from the loss this week will be fired up and playing "their final" against Arsenal and the Spuds are playing Leicester. With any luck we will be back to the top!

Come on blues!

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:25 pm

Just want us to play like we can do tonight, this away form is total bollocks and needs to be reversed or else we can forget this league.

by **Topdawg** Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:27 pm

man utd are 3 points behind us. how on earth is that possible mr pellegrini?

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:40 pm

Mangala

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:42 pm

Teams are no longer scared of us, yes we have better players but at the moment means fuck all. I am worried for this one, more so than Leicester. While yaya is walking about like this we are there to be picked off with ease.

by **Topdawg** Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:42 pm

we look lucky not to have conceded already

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:42 pm

I have a really bad feeling... same old crap...

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:43 pm

Sack him now please and save our season..

by **Topdawg** Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:43 pm

shitty stream might be the best for me. want to go to bed already

by **Topdawg** Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:44 pm

is that 3 chances? so much lag i'm not sure.

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:44 pm

We are the new arsenal! Just shoot.

Sorly will take 0-0 now, defense is usual complete bag of wank

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:46 pm

I've got it on sly but I would go to bed if the streams acting up... totally not worth it

I can't believe how easily we lose the ball... Pep needs to come and sort out tgeir training. ..

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:52 pm

What on earth is msngala doing!!!! 35m !!! Which clown decided on this! I had seen him play before we bought and I thought he was shitt then but trusted the club and thought to myself what do I know!

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:52 pm

He is making basic errors under no pressure ffs!

by **Topdawg** Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:53 pm

too much pussying about

by **Topdawg** Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:57 pm

just no fight from us. again.

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:58 pm

But how many times are we going to say that? There is something so wrong at the club for it to be like this week after week.

by **Topdawg** Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:58 pm

where's the challenges???

by **Topdawg** Sat Jan 02, 2016 5:58 pm

by **Topdawg** Sat Jan 02, 2016 6:05 pm

wank from sterling. utter wank. greedy bastid.

by Guest Sat Jan 02, 2016 6:05 pm

I don't know what they do in traing but they lose the ball far too often, are off sync playing like strangers and cannot defend individually nor as a team...

Something not right indeed.l because we are better than this.
