Manchester City (a) 24/01 -Build up and match thread

[Tony Towner]

If you are being optimistic, City's big weakness is the gap behind their full backs and he's picked a team to exploit that. Hwang and Mane with the legs, Arias to play the through ball

Well that's us scoring nil. Just a question of how many Man City rack up despite Haaland warming the bench. Why not just play 10 defenders and be done with it.

 

[Bigbadwulf07]

I’m going to assume that he thinks Arias and Hwang will be willing runners so they’ll act as some sort of out ball. The issue with that is with no vocal point we won’t hold the ball up, so it will just keep coming back at us.

We might see a new PL record for possession % here.

Mosquera to carry it out through the middle of course!

 

[Wolftone]

Cant wear the vile turquoise kit. Good start.

 

[Jinky]

Nunes assist.

 

[AndyWolves]

Should have put my wages on city today

 

[Jinky]

What’s the plan now, Rob?

Because plan A is out the window after 6 minutes.

 

[Jack Regan]

Great ball in and likely game over.

 

[Wolftone]

Great cross that. Unfortunately.

 

[Tony Towner]

Tchatchoua showing his usual level of off the ball awareness

 

[jd1981]

Typical city plod around a few games then get it going v us

 

[darlowolf64]

Maybe the plan is to bore them to death, then bring on both strikers on 85 minutes and steal it.

Fantastic plan...

 

[YoungWolf]

There goes the keep it tight plan anyway

 

[jd1981]

Plan will be to stay in the game and try and nick something

 

[Tony Towner]

Takes effort to concede from here

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Edwards clearly adopting the “Exeter” approach. Bet we don’t score one though.

 

[Wolftone]

Tchatchoua can run really fast backwards as well as forwards.

 

[NicholasG1973]

Tchatchoua can run really fast backwards as well as forwards.

Some players are deceptively quick.

He’s actually deceptively slow.

 

[Jinky]

Here we go. Definitely getting this.

 

[YoungWolf]

I hate that this is a penalty
