Going to this, first time at the KP, first time I have seen City play a live league match for nearly 40 years, what a Christmas present from my sons. Score 3.1 to the dark blues Cottee, Large and Collymore, Their consolation goal somebody in light blue.

Happy Christmas all.

Tuesday the 29th sees the visit of the blue half of Manchester to King Power for this 7:45pm live televised game on Sky.

Oh no it isn't.

 

[Motown Fox]

Oh no it isn't.

BT or not BT

 

[camberwell fox]

BT?

BT?

Yes, BT not Sky!

Some good news. Kompany made his return from injury today, coming on as sub. He went off injured ten minutes later.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Wasn't too damaging despite the result today with Arsenal and ManUtd both getting tonked.

Just hope we can respond on Tuesday.

 

[Blaarev]

Will be interesting to see which team Ranieri puts up.

 

[Blaarev]

Apart from it being Leicester of course

 

[Lako42]

Think we'll get proper hammered mesen

 

[Miles Away]

Nah. They're in for a backlash.

 

[Blaarev]

Mesen?

 

[londonfox]

Man City are just as likely to be very average, as they were at Stoke and Villa, as they are to be devastating. I can't see us playing as bad as we did at Anfield. If we play like we can we can win this.

I'd like to see Inler start in a midfield three. Maybe give Albrighton a break and bring in Dyer. I'd like to see Ulloa start.

 

[pork pie fox]

Mesen?

Local talk.

 

[FryattFox]

Think we'll get proper hammered mesen

Agreed.

Whilst they're vulnerable at the back, I think they could definitely be in the mood to punish the amount of chances we give to teams.

2-3.

 

[Redditch Fox]

Tough ask. Managers need to rotate teams in this far too congested spell- and they have far more options. We need/ may be forced to make a couple of changes in the starting line up including bringing Inler and Dyer. But I also think that Vardy deserves a break and it would be in our and his longer term interest to rest him. A rousing performance would be great - with any positive result an achievement.

Fortunately we have only a friendly fixture to follow next weekend - I take it that we are ok within the FA regulations to play Academy kids in the Olde FA Cup?

 

[City Fan]

Inler? Inler? Has no one seen his performances so far this season?

If Ranieri does move to a central 3 (which I don't think he should), then assuming Drinky is now fit it should be Drinkwater/Kante/King.
