Sort of ‘must win’ even at this early stage.

 

[Miles Away]

A defeat would be catastrophic for Cooper and the squad morale.

I like Kristiansen but think he’s struggling and we are conceding a lot of goals. I’d like to see Justin moved to the left and Ricardo at right back. Failing that I think there’s a case to use Ricardo ahead of Justin in the inverted right wing position.

I also like Winks but, like several other players, he’s not built for this system (another key player from last season that looks an ill fit for Cooper). For me, he needs to drop out in favour of a #10

Ideally I’d go:

Mads

Ricardo
Okoli
Faes
Justin

Skipp
Ndidi

Fatawu
Bouna
Mavididi

Vardy

No chance though….it’ll be

Mads

Justin
Faes
Okoli
Kristiansen

Winks
Ndidi

Ayew
Bouna
Mavididi

Aye let’s either change the position of, or even better, drop Justin who just scored a brace away at Arsenal.

Not sure his starting position had much to do with the set piece.

The second was a worldie. He did that last year from left back too.

True. But he was on the pitch.

Second one it did. And again, he was on the pitch.

 

[Graz]

I feel like he's scored a lot more from left back than he has from right back for us.

 

[Graz]

Must win game. We need to break the duct and get our first win. And we've underperformed against other relegation candidates so far.

Please play 2 wingers. Ideally I'd play Ricardo, but no chance after today.

Below is a blend of what I want Vs what Cooper may realistically consider...

Mads
JJ
Faes
Okoli
Kristiansen
Skipp
Winks
Fatawu
Ndidi
Mavididi
Vardy

I thought that was Everton.

 

[Miles Away]

And I have him in my preferred side.

When I say “ahead” I mean play Ricardo and Justin on the same side.

Understood, I misinterpreted.

 

[H T B]

Whilst Arsenal have been a bogey team over a long period, in more recent years, these Barstewards have been a bit of a bogey team.
Hopefully not next Saturday.

 

[londonfox]

Gotta go out and try to win from the start.

Mads
Justin
Faes
Okoli
Kristiansen
Skipp
Ndidi
Buonanotte
El Khannouss
Mavididi
Vardy

Another "must win"!!!?? Too much stress, that doesnt correlate to the amount of stress and ****s given at the Emirates "Abso-uttely, Definately will lose" game?

 

[popillius]

Look, he's not going to play Mavididi and Fatawu together. That would be too much like wanting to win a game. He's also going to continue to let Kristiansen limp around aimlessly. We will set up in exactly the same way, concede one or two before HT and then play some decent stuff to try and get level.

Then he'll make four changes....

He's got to stop this shit and try to win a football match. Playing Fatawu and Mavididi together is a must. We don't need Ndidi, Skipp and Winks so one of those drops out with Buonanotte in. It's painfully obvious to everybody except 2 or 3 usuals that Justin should be on the left and Ricardo on the right but that's not going to happen either.

Come on Steve, just pretend there's like, points or summat you can have if you actually win.

I thought that was Everton.

I suggested pre-match that the C Palace was a potential '6 pointer' - you'd have to think it was the same for Everton and now, it feels the same against Bournemouth. And we are only 7 games into the season.

20% of the way.

 

[City Fan]

“6 pointer”, “must win game”, “catastrophic if we lose”

For ****s sake guys. Yes it’s a big game. But we’re 6 matches into a 38 match season, and we’re not even in the relegation zone.

It’s important that we win, but it’s not the season over if we don’t.

Might be for your mate.
