niceandfriendly Posted 4 October, 2016 Share Posted 4 October, 2016 Reckon this one will sell out? See we've got 1,431 tickets which doesn't seem like a lot but I suppose as it's on Sky not as many people will travel. Or will they... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsarum Posted 4 October, 2016 Share Posted 4 October, 2016 loads of people will still be travelling back recovering form Inter trip, so 1400 ticket right number will do well to sell out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably worse not knowing either way (especially with our previous history of conceding against Everton, we managed to go from 1-0 up to lose in the amount of time it took me to get on the pitch out of the clubhouse and kick off a Saturday match once, not improved by the fact our winger was a Toffee).

JRM Posted 20 October, 2016 Share Posted 20 October, 2016 I'm not looking forward to this game at all, having watched Barca give them a good beating you just know they'll be out for us on Sunday and I can picture the commentary as they take an early lead banishing the memory of the Nou Camp. Going to have to keep it tight and hope we can hit them on the break, much will depend on Redmond and Long injuries. If both out I'd rather see Ololuma alongside Austin instead of Rodriguez who is so far off the pace we can't afford to have him play again. Surprised we've sold out for this, fair play to those travelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We like to build slowly from the back - they will be onto Virgil / Jose / Romeu in a flash. Right back at them. Pep wants them to play out from the back at all costs given their dodgy keeper and calamity Stones pressing their defence should work well for us. Actually Long would be perfect for this game unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 21 October, 2016 Share Posted 21 October, 2016 (edited) Just had a look on Bluemoon. Now I understand man city fans are going to be confident given their manager, being at home and their playing squad (even I expect we will lose) but I'm surprised how many are predicting putting at least 3 past us ( one guy is even predicting 7 or 8 ). We may lose but we won't be a push over we don't concede a lot and we are good on the break these days. I'm expecting a tight game before we lose to the obligatory big team soft penalty in stoppage time.

I think he would benefit from playing consecutive games. That said, Austin and Redmond are in good form in the Premier League so difficult to justify dropping either.

trousers Posted 21 October, 2016 Share Posted 21 October, 2016 I'm wondering if playing one of the premier league 'giants' like Man City following a game vs Inter at the San Siro isn't such a bad thing....? Psychologically, it would have been more difficult for Puel to 'rally the troops' for a game against Hull City (for example) given the high status of the preceding game but playing the likes of City at the Etihad keeps the players' self-motivation levels naturally high. Yes, I know they're professional footballers who shouldn't need motivating for a game regardless of how high or low profile it is, but I just think that the fact that we go straight into another high profile game could actually work to our advantage. Now cue a 6-0 drubbing of course....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he would benefit from playing consecutive games. That said, Austin and Redmond are in good form in the Premier League so difficult to justify dropping either. Is there equally a case for starting with JRod & Austin? Combination of experience and form could put City under early pressure. Redmond would be itching to get on, perhaps a half-time shout and he could run them ragged in the 2nd half. Could even give Boufal 20 mins to see how he copes with PL pressure.
