Discuss the Manchester City - Coventry City match, tactics and predictions

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

6-0 Man City

 

[SkyBlue_Adam]

Well we can’t expect much here. Can we stick in the game for long enough perhaps? Clutching at straws I know

 

[TomRad85]

I don't want to talk about it.

I can see us going to a back 5 though with Pinnock, Amenda and Thomas.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Rushworth
MVE Thomas Amenda Pinnock JDS
Yirenkyi Onyeka Hamer
Rudoni
Big T

 

[procdoc]

could be a massacre

[spwaverley4916]

we stick the whole squad on the pitch and hopefully come away with a draw!

 

[shmmeee]

Anyone know how to disassociate?

Rushworth
MvE Thomas Amenda Pinnock Dasilva
Tchaouna Onyeka Grimes Yirenkyi EMC

 

[HJones23]

Strangely positive. 5 atb, tank & Yareneki in midfield with Rudi & EMC in front of them to play off Awoniyi. Rushworth to have a Leicester away type performance to kick start his season…. 4-0 loss

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

5-0 and Hull/Ipswich fans coming on for a laugh

 

[lowblocklounge]

Rushworth
Milan Thomas Amenda Pinnock Jay
Sakamoto Onyeka Yirenkyi EMC
Big T

 

[Jamesimus]

This is how we should line up…

Rushworth Bentley

MVE Lati Thomas Pinnock Amenda Kitching Bidwell Dasilva (Back 8)

Awoniyi

 

[Matt smith]

7-0

A blood bath

 

[Johnnythespider]

I'll be watching this with my hands over my eyes

Rushworth

Just have a few beers and support the team in sky blue

Rushworth Bentley

MVE Lati Thomas Pinnock Amenda Mfuni Bidwell Dasilva (Back 8)

Awoniyi

Mfuni can’t play. Stick Kitching in

 

[Jamesimus]

Mfuni can’t play. Stick Kitching in

Bloody hell, forgot that, it’s his parent club isn’t it. Perfect game for Kitching this to be honest.

 

[Sick Boy]

6-1 defeat.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

There is no room for sentiment and I would be making wholesale changes after the limp performance against Hull, but who comes in?

MvE and Grimes shouldn't be playing, but who instead? KKH and Onyeka seem injured. I don't care about the result, but no position is safe. If this is another weak effort then he needs to be prepared to drop some favourites.

Hear me out: Eccles at RWB

 

[Jamesimus]

Hear me out: Eccles at RWB

He has played there a few times I think?

 

[skybluelee]

Oh great, a whole week seeing Coventry fans referring to Manchester City as ‘City’

3 atb, Box midfield - drop Grimes and Tchaouna. Onyeka and Pinnock in. 0-4.

0-6 if he sticks with a back 4.

 

[Bristol sky blue]

Too much information I know, but I had to have a colonoscopy last week... Did not have sedation or gas / air...

Our players are about to discover what that feels like

7-0 Man City

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

Got my match ticket and an early train ticket, can't wait for a day sesh in one of my favourite cities and to experience my second world-class stadium in the space of a month. Watching the Sky Blues at the Etihad is going to be surreal to say the least.

The match? Expecting similar to Arsenal, most likely they'll barely get going and win 3 or 4 nil. If we're unlucky they'll go for it and it'll be miserable. Us getting a goal feels like it would be an achivement, any points would be a miracle.

Expecting 5ATB and very defensive.

I dont often bet big but I feel this is the chance to absolutely print money this weekend

I don't think we'll be beaten that badly. Also think we might score here (albeit a consolation).

 

[Tommo1993]

6-1 defeat.

What about the second half?

 

[Billfred]

3 at the back with wing backs. Onyeka and Yirenkyi in front of them. Rudoni and Mason-Clark behind Awoniyi. Fire ourselves up, snap into them, hope that it's not Carling on tap and pray for a miracle.

Having reflected on Saturday the thing that pissed me off most was how timid we were, fans and players. We've waited 25 years for this, if we go down after 38 games do it with some fight and some passion.

 

[gspotgaz]

Heavy loss and majority of game camped in our own half. Worst possible fixture for us at the moment.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

That might require having a shot instead of passing it out wide

 

[Lamps]

5 4 1. Leave Awoniyi on the halfway line for set pieces instead of having everyone back. Would be nice to get a goal.

I'm going for 4-1

 

[Measham Sky Blue]

If we go back 4 it will be a massacre. It has to change for this game.
