Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg · January 15, 2017

Big fan of the 5-3-2 though.

Or 5? It's just how you interpret it. This also looks like a 5-4-1, with Lukaku very isolated again.

With wing backs pushing on I'd expect mirallas to nearly be up top with rom..
3 across the middle should mean kev can stay forward

I bet if we lose, Barry will get blamed for it.

He will!

Anyone who thinks this is anything other than a 9-0-1 formation is kidding themselves

AaronTheBlue · January 15, 2017

The midfield worries me a lot but let's hope for the best

roydo · January 15, 2017

Would have started Morgs, nea.

Morry29 · January 15, 2017

Liking the formation but I'm not liking some of the players in it

bluestevon · January 15, 2017

very rarely wish an injury on a player, but barry feelign a twinge early, on and needing to come off coudl save the game for us today, barry vs those players movement is aa terrifying prospect

Howards tipple · January 15, 2017

Only one change from the FA cup disaster.
Barry should be up for this, let's hope his legs are!
Come on blues! Get stuck in early and show them we are up for it!

Billy Dean · January 15, 2017

I think we've got a chance here. Looking at city's back 6 nothing to be afraid of there.

GwladysBlue · January 15, 2017

Barry and Barkley do not work together in the midfield, especially when there is no Gueye to do the running.

He will start.

Makes no football sense for him to come on when we are a few down.

Makes total sense for him to come off when he is goosed and we are 2 up.

Which means I will vollyed be into oblivion tomorrow.

Sake.
