Sa with another top save. And that’s why he’s a better option than Johnstone, because I don’t think Johnstone saves either of them.

I’m happy we’re still in the game, but I don’t think this is some sort of “tactical masterclass” from Gary O’Neil, by the way. It’s the same setup that a plucky league 2 outfit would play against City in a cup match. We’re literally defending on the edge of our area and then hoping someone who...

We can’t string three passes together. Only going to end one way.

Teams just love scoring screamers against us. But yeah - we’ve had about 6% possession in their final 3rd over the last 15 minutes. We can’t just sit back and defend the edge of the area against a team who are this good.

Lemina has been absolutely shite again, so far. We won’t keep a clean sheet so need to do more when we have the ball. Semedo is having a tough time up against Doku & now has the yellow too.

We need to make sure this doesn’t turn in to attack v defence, though. Yes - we’re 1-0 up, yes the points would be vital - but we still need to carry a threat going the other way.

As soon as I saw it was Semedo clean through I knew he wouldn’t score - but it’s like I said at the start of this thread - City are so open in the middle without Rodri that we can just keep running through them. Good to see our lads are getting booked for everything they do, though.

Toti is an absolute bombscare.

Already feel more comfortable with Sa in goal.

What a fucking goal. Get in!

Can see why he’s reverted to a 5 at the back, but disappointed he’s gone 5-3-2. I’d have liked Forbs to start. We need his pace on the break. Hopefully he’s playing the midfield as an actual midfield three and not some weird shit like we’ve seen so far this season.

West Ham beat Ipswich so fairly sure I should still be in this? In the interest of fairness I’ll pick a team playing tomorrow so I don’t gain an unfair advantage having seen the teams. Will go for Man City & hope I go out this weekend.

Liam Payne of One Direction, aged 31. Fell from a third floor hotel room in Argentina, if reports are to be believed.

Doc assist.

19/20 away kit (but with the gold Fosun logo) is immense. Worst is this years third kit. An absolute monstrosity.

Blueprint here is to set up how Fulham did. They could (and should) have scored 5 against City, but Adama’s gotta Adama. City were so open in the middle without Rodri & it gave Fulham plenty of chances to break quickly and outnumber them - so for me, our nearest option to Adama is Forbs, so he...

It's also a visual display of our players trying to defend a set piece under Gaz.

Me reading the last 5 pages of this thread:

Yeah, really like the look of him (on very limited viewing, I admit). But we prefer to play bantz King instead.

Also, to add to the formation/personnel chat. Taking in to account Gaz’s comments about possibly needing to switch back to a back 5, the fact he seems extremely reluctant to drop his captain Lemina (if he hasn’t dropped him yet, he never will), acknowledging the midfield three is a mess and...
