Real v City - Live Thread
So...after the massively pathetic performance on Sunday, it seems that the Manager has put everything into this game. Well, he's been right before, but go out tonight, you'd have to question his decision making on Sunday. Win, and he'll make most of us look stupid.
So, down to the nitty gritty - the team.
I've thought hard and long over this, so it'll probably divide opinion, but this is the team I'd start with.
Hart
Sagna, Vinny, Manga, Clichy
Ferdy twins
Navas, KDB, Sterling
Aguero
50-60 min in, if things aren't going well, we can bring on the lazy bastard, even he couldn't cock up 20-40 mins of football and would surely put a shift in, knowing he hasn't got to play a full 90.
Options are available. Navas/Sterling off, Kelechi out wide on the left/right if needed or one of the Ferdy's and play a 4-4-2.
The first 20 mins, I'm sure we'll see Madrid and ladyboy wanting to score, so expect masses of possession - they'l want the crowd behind them. However, keep it tight, press them with energy, stop their full backs dictating - as for me, that's what will win or lose us the game - and then counter-punch them just before half time.....then hold the wave of attacks in the second half, even if they score, get another on the break.
Sergio and KDB will be massive tonight - if they're not, we don't win...as I can't see us keeping a clean sheet.

I wouldn't have Sterling anywhere near the starting 11. I'd rather take a chance with Kelechi. Madrid really don't know enough about him, even with their scouting. He's hungry. He's busy. He works hard. He's showing composure and an eye for goal. Basically attributes that Sterling doesn't offer.

We'll see. Like I said - my choice would divide opinion.

Subs: Caballero, Mangala, Kolarov, Delph, Sterling, Bony, Iheanacho

Can't really complain. Might have had the Mango instead of Notamendi.

Probably just seen the last of Vinny as a starter at mcfc.
He's become a liability.

Re: Real v City - Live Thread

Re: Real v City - Live Thread
Why the fuck does he play the useless lazy twat? KDB is isolated out on the left, the lazy wankers wants to sit in front of the defence, leaving Aguero on his own!
Fucking pathetic.
Get him off this pitch! He's offered us fuck all, all season...he has no right or deserves no right to wear the shirt tonight!

Re: Real v City - Live Thread
I will accept a loss as long as we go down fighting, but not going out like a whimper like this. Â Where is the tempo and pressing?

Re: Real v City - Live Thread
we are just committing ourselves far too easily all over the pitch.

they have got to score again because we are leaving so many men free.

Told you my team selection would divide many, but it'd work far better than having that lazy cunt on the pitch!!

final 1/4 of the pitch, clichy on the ball. no-one in the box and no-one helping him. what utter tosh

That's the difference with athletico last night, buried their only chance

Re: Real v City - Live Thread
only difference is we have to score now. could have been 0-0 and gone to pens.

Re: Real v City - Live Thread
we are damn lucky not to be down by 3 at HT.
Will he change it around now? No chance.
I'd get Itchy on and Kev in the middle.

Re: Real v City - Live Thread
He'll wait until it's 2-0 or 75 mins to go before he'll bother making a change!
Get Sterling on this pitch!! Get the lazy fucker off it!!!
He's offering fuck all Except slow, sideways passes. KDB is the only player offering Aguero anything. TLMLF is now sitting deep and letting Fernadinho go forward...why??? Why bother? Why shoe-horn him into the team for that effort?
Fucking seriously annoyed!!

Re: Real v City - Live Thread
But I still wouldn't have Sterling on. What's he done since his injury to show he's worth it?
