[coop]

I think above 5 nil unfortunately there front four will absolutely rip us a new one.

 

[You'll Never Beat McPake]

I think we will go 5 at the back. Try not to concede to heavily in first half then bring on Rudoni, Hamer, Saka and Torp second half. Possibly Simms on 2nd half

 

[Pusb1]

For any of you FPL players. Here's your banker for a triple captain Haaland Gameweek

 

[Jamesimus]

A one goal loss and I will be ecstatic

How many points do we get for that?

 

[Nick]

Not really, Sakamoto was weak and cost us a goal in an area of the pitch he doesn't usually be. We got exposed a lot down Milans side because Tchaouna wasn't particularly tracking back. Same against Arsenal.

Yes Sakamoto was weak as piss for the goal.

He tracked back multiple times and bailed MVE out a couple of times against Hull.

We got exposed down the right because MVE was positionally awful.

 

[stupot07]

Interesting how people see different things. I saw Milan going awol. I would go as far to say in these very early days, of the players I thought might be able to step up, he's perhaps been the biggest disappointment of the lot.
On Sakamoto, I don't think he's strong enough or fast enough for this division. He's a sub because we need him and he's less tragic than BTA on the other side but I can't imagine he'll have much impact.

I agree, Milan was positionally AWOL, but he's always positionally iffy, but in the championship when he went AWOL Sakamoto would usually drop back into the right back position and cover him.

Tuna did that a couple of times as well.

I know Tats was in front of Lati against Plymouth but he was shocking there as well to be fair, really didn't take his chance to shine.

He needs to sort it out ASAP. I honestly think his place would be under threat from KKH if he was fit right now.

Yeah he was poor against Plymouth but he also needs someone like Milan or KKH going past him to help create space. Lati was shocking and didn't overlap once.

[Covcraig@bury]

Must win 3-2 Cov

 

[Warwickhunt]

How many points do we get for that?

Fuck all! But will not be conf8dence sapping will it?

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

5-0 Man City and hope they take pity on us at that point like what Arsenal did at 3-0.

 

[CovValleyBoy]

Grimes Yirenkyi Onyeka looked the part against Monaco. I'd go same fitness allowing.
Rudoni drops out.

 

[covcity4life]

3 nil loss which wouldn't destroy our GD after 2 hardest games of season out the way.

 

[Gint11]

This has got 0-2 written all over it.
Suprise early lead. Battered for 85 minutes and counter for a 0-2

Champions league back on

 

[Cov. Kids. Never. Quit]

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

 

[standupforcity]

You never know.. we should have beaten Man U in FA Cup and they went on to beat Man C.. this is football.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Im not even going to try and predict a result Im actually scared of this game

Having watched them against Palace that front 4 is monstrous and there’s no way we keep that quiet whether we go 4 or 5 at the back it doesnt matter because if we go 5 we lose the midfield so I’d play a 451 with deeper wingers and look to play on the break.

I was tempted to say Gus in for Grimes as I think Gus is better at and more likely to launch counter attacks than Grimes, I feel this is not the game for Grimes as we arent going to see much if any of the ball.

There’s no way we get anything here so keep it respectable and work hard try and hit them quickly as thats when they look vulnerable and how Palace got their goal.

 

[Marty]

we could see a double figure loss here, keep it below 7 and that's a good result for us. We can't afford to let the GD get too out of hand.

 

[CovveeBreak]

3-1 loss - we finally get our goal through Awoniyi.

I think we will see:

Rushworth

MVE - Thomas - Amenda - Pinnock - JDS

Tchouna - Onyeka - Yirenkyi - EMC

Awoniyi


Maybe a curve ball, but think Grimes will be dropped and we will see Caleb play more of that role in a midfield 4.

Grimes gets destroyed by the likes of Cherki, so we have to opt for physicality.

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

I can see us going 1-0 up or bringing it to 1-1 to have some classic CCFC away limbs

 

[Cov. Kids. Never. Quit]

we could see a double figure loss here, keep it below 7 and that's a good result for us. We can't afford to let the GD get too out of hand.

Or Carl Rushworth has an absolute blinder and keeps it down to 2.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Rushworth
MVE Thomas Amenda Pinnock JDS
Hamer Yirenkyi Onyeka
Rudoni
Awoniyi

 

[CovValleyBoy]

We few, we happy few

 

[Otis]

If any on here are au fait with the dark web and can let me know where I can get an off the shelf flu virus and then also recommend ways of my getting it into the ventilation systems at the Man City training ground. I would be most grateful .

Under that circumstance, I would be very confident of a 2 nil loss.

 

[Skybluedogwood]

Don’t know if Onyeka will be fit but if he is I’d play him and Bench Grimes.

Are you trying to influenza the result Otis

 

[TheSmiler94]

Everyone writing us off for a Haaland masterpiece.

Shock 2-1 cov win incoming

 

[itsabuzzard]

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

That has to be the very definition of masochism.

Agree about Milan the one player weren’t worried about has been awful.Did he get away with it in the past due to his pace. Bring back the memory of the Sunderland play offs mistake

 

[StrettoBoy]

This is how we should line up…

Rushworth Bentley

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

Awoniyi

That’s a decent shout but I would play Wilson instead of Awoniyi

8-1, Wilson to score following a corner

 

[Bigelvesy]

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