Real v City - Live Thread

First topic message reminder :

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.

But I still wouldn't have Sterling on. What's he done since his injury to show he's worth it?

by Paulpowersleftfoot Wed May 04, 2016 8:46 pm

Hola
See the engineer is up to his old tricks
Absolutely fucking useless
Surely he can see his pet cunt doing a bony in the midfield
Get Iheanacho on for him and we stand a chance in a game that should be all over

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:47 pm

Itchy for me. But our manager will probably put MDM in midfield...

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:48 pm

their wide men can dance around our defenders.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:49 pm

with ease.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:49 pm

lucky there with kev not looking over his shoulder

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:50 pm

Otamendi diving in and getting lucky. again.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:52 pm

city fans singing loud again.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:52 pm

only good thing so far tonight...

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:53 pm

Marcelo is such a poor defender that Navas can get past him

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:53 pm

Mango miles away from his man. shit.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:54 pm

NO FUCKING DEFENDING AGAIN.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:55 pm

Clichy has been very good going forwards.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:56 pm

happy to be proved wrong, but I don't think Pep will make Otamendi or Mangala into good enough defenders.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:57 pm

what fucking crap defending down the line again.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:57 pm

I just cannot believe how bad we are. Or how it is only 1-0.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 8:59 pm

GET ITCHY ON

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:00 pm

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:01 pm

NO FUCKING DEFENDING AGAIN

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:04 pm

at least clichy put the boot in

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:05 pm

Mango can't even stay on his feet.

by Guest Wed May 04, 2016 9:06 pm

Well we currently have 2 more engineering outings as it stands, happy for a 3rd but you need to actually change something Manuel

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:06 pm

he's got to book him for using his hands

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:07 pm

this is a cowardly performance tonight.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:09 pm

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:11 pm

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:22 pm

all sterling has offered us is balance. no skill.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:23 pm

utter garbage

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:26 pm

got to be a red card. but it won't be

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:26 pm

Kev's been poor.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:27 pm

we don't deserve anything.

by Guest Wed May 04, 2016 9:27 pm

That was red all day

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:28 pm

why didn't he play a full strength team against southampton? to save them for this?

by Guest Wed May 04, 2016 9:28 pm

I think the occasion has got better of us

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:31 pm

it shouldn't do with the experience our players have. world cups, CL runs, PL titles.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:35 pm

just lump it you idiots

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:36 pm

this just sums up the 'engineer'. fucking broken.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:36 pm

clueless players.

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:37 pm

clueless manager.

by blueboy Wed May 04, 2016 9:37 pm

If only this useless cunt of a manager would have started with this team for the last 30'mins...

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:38 pm

by **Topdawg** Wed May 04, 2016 9:41 pm
