[lesterboy]

As expected with the personnel available

 

[City Fan]

Four central midfielders on the bench. Desperately need some more depth in the wing positions.

 

[M17TT C]

Good in a way that we are chosing to play our normal way rather than changing the system to suit the opposition.

I just don't like the look of that defence against WHUs attack - we got away with a few chances given away to Wolves that weren't punished last week but WHU have more quality in their front line and won't be so forgiving plus they are a real threat from set plays.

I'll be happy with a point from this.

So that’s only Justin, Evans, Fofana and Vestergaard on the injury list then. Things looking up

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Set pieces will be horrendous tonight. Hide behind the sofa

Plus Bertrand to make it a complete back 5 that 75% of the league would be happy with!

And Mendy.

****ing hell Sky, 6 minutes in and the conversation is already on Man Utd!.....

Thought we might see Soumaré in for Perez or Madison to give us some more height/physical stuff.
But pleased with the team. I'd take a point now like a little bottling bed wetter through.

Only 6 mins? They usually start with it ..

 

[popillius]

It's about the best we have available. We'll struggle to defend tonight however. Could be a turbulent watch, this one.

 

[Brown Nose]

It's what I expected but not what I'd have done.

West Ham bullied us twice last season. Do I see enough in our side to combat this? No.

However, man for man, we have the better side. We need the three behind Vardy to show up because none of them did against Wolves.

If it's a fast, open, skill based game, we'll win. If it's slow and tight and stop/start with plenty of set pieces, we'll get beat.

 

[Lako42]

We really need a winger.

Can't believe the options in the middle compared to out wide, it's quite poor imo.

 

[popillius]

If it's a fast, open, skill based game, we'll win. If it's slow and tight and stop/start with plenty of set pieces, we'll get beat.

That's exactly what WH will be looking to do.

 

[lesterboy]

Well I now know how to defend against Lakaku or Drogba should I come up against them.

 

[Brown Nose]

Well I now know how to defend against Lakaku or Drogba should I come up against them.

Or Ginola. Up to the minute analysis.

 

[Orifice]

I hope that we only have to kick-off once tonight but I've a feeling there will be a few occasions.
