Poll: Your starting 11 v Manchester City

[Bob Latchford]

...I imagine it’ll be something like (on the assumption Gomes is still not available);

Pickford

Coleman
Keane
Mina
Digne

Richarlison
Delph
Iwobi
Bernard

Sigurdsson

DCL

Can’t imagine he’ll start Kean over DCL. I wouldn’t mind Mina/Holgate given City are not a major aerial threat, but I think Keane might regain his place.

DCL was outstanding in the 1-1 two seasons ago, which is disappointing that he hasn’t kicked on another bit.

We can’t afford to get outnumbered in midfield or we’re snookered. I think if we go with our usual 4-2-3-1 it will be a hammering, notwithstanding conceding from set pieces.

Apart from the above I’m cautiously optimistic

Don't waste your time lads.
We haven't got 11 capable, nor with the right attitude, nor a manager who wins.

Having said that, COYB!

 

[BigBlueConk]

5 at the back for me.

0-2

Southall

Gary Stevens, Brian Labone, Rats, Mountfield, Pat the Maniac

Reid, Kendall Ball

W R Dean, Latchford

Always putting yourself in the team Bob.
Dixie says he would prefer Anichebe up front with him.

 

[Bob Latchford]

Pickford

Coleman, Mina, Keane, Digne

Richarlison, Davies, Delph, Iwobi

Siggs (dropping in to mid to make it a 5)

DCL (could potentially get in to double figures on touches)

 

[BigBlueConk]

Mate that team would get abused by City.

It's a case of when MC declare if we're honest.
We haven't got 11 players to stop them, unless they have a stinker of a day in front of goal.
In which case they will still score two at least and where are we getting three goals from?!

I know, I know, shameless...

In the event the pitch needed punched a bit in the second half, I had Vic pencilled in for the bench

let rhino and the kids play

No Laporte or stones for city. So the centre backs will be Fernandinho and otamendi or whatever is name is. So we need to turn them, so we need to go long over the top Calvert Lewin has the pace on him. Problem is we won’t get many chances so have to take them when we do.

At this point I'd honestly go richy up front, iwobi as a ten with Kean and bernard on the wings

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Coleman or Sidibe?...........hmmmmm Terry all day and every day for this one lol

That’s a good shout. We just need as much pace upfront as possible without leaving ourselves to exposed.

Personally I think it would take a bit of pressure off Kean and could have a similar effect to that arsenal game with rom on the wing,
Also makes the most of richarlisons heading ability

Schneiderlin gets 15 vote? Remarkable

Yeah we need Richarlison in the box as often as possible.

Same team as last night but with moist up top.

Great drop the goal machine
