Players to be dropped - Carlos Torres Watkins

Watkins hasn't started the last two league games to be dropped.

Ok Watkins to be further rested . Duran deserves to start again , he did his job well yesterday .

If you'd said at the start of the season that if we beat Man City in December we go above them then I'd have been happy with that.

And we could do this.

But we wont

Citeh losing from 1 nil up to Manure with a couple of mins to go is obviously going to be the bottom of the barrel. We’ll get done next weekend.

They've been shite for months though , it's not like beating them nowadays is anything special anymore

Players to be dropped - Carlos Torres Watkins

------- Martinez --------
Cash Konsa Mings Digne
-- Kamara - Tielemans --
McGinn --------- Buendia
--- Rogers --------------
-------- Duran-----------

Rogers off the left, Tielemans further forward with Onana next to Kamara I hope. No chance of Buendia starting.

Man City haven't won for weeks.  They must be rock bottom after today.  We all know what happens here don't we? Prove me wrong Unai. 

Go back to a flat back four despite the fact that Cash is crap.  Mings and Konsa in the middle, Maatsen left back.

[LukeJames]

It'll probably come down to who can out bore the other.

[PaulWinch again]

We’re going to have to have to attack much better to stand a chance.

[ChicagoLion]

We’re going to have to have to attack much better to stand a chance.

Conceding our usual 2 goals wont help either.

[eamonn]

This lot are as bad as they've been since they binned Alan Ball. If we don't beat them, we need shooting.

Mings on Gvardiol at set-pieces please as that's their best hope of pwning us.
