morty 0 Posted January 15, 2016 I think Hoolahan ends up too deep unless he has Jerome ahead of him, he tends to drop deeper and Hoolahan gets on the ball more, really not sure if I like the look of him behind Mbokani. I would Play Ofoe instead of Hoolahan, Howson right, and Dorrans anchor with Tettey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essjayess 307 Posted January 15, 2016 Miggsy is not to far away from what i think so lets go with it. Win, draw or lose i just think our season really kick on once this fixture is out the way, as the Afobe and Grabban stuff has taken way to much time being discussed these last 7 or 8 months. If Klose does indeed sign early next week, we will all feel City are finally getting it together, and two home games against Pool and Spurs will whet the appetite.

Six Pack 92 Posted January 16, 2016 Would very much like to see either Howson or Ofoe to partner Tettey in the centre of midfield, the other to join Hoolahan and Redmond as the attacking trio behind Mbokani. The inclusion or either Mulumbu or Dorrans to partner Tettey I see as extremely negative - playing for the draw against a team we are very capable of beating away.So team I''d like to see is:RuddMartin, Bennett, Bassong, BradyHowson, TetteyRedmond, Hoolahan, OfoeMBokani Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grefstad 0 Posted January 16, 2016 Would also like to see VOO next to Tettey. No Dorrans or Mulumbu, please. Jerome will start, with Mbokani coming on. Howson is a roamer, and I think he will find space to score today.Rudd Martin, Bennett, Bassong, Brady VOO, Tettey Howson, Hoolahan, JarvisJeromeRedmond to come on for either VOO or Howson, the one not subbed moves to def mid.Olsson to come in for Jarvis, with Brady moved to LW, depending on us chasing the game or protecting a lead.Mbokani for Jerome after 60-70 mins.

Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted January 16, 2016 Will be disappointed if Mbokani doesn''t start, he was probably the stand out player for me at Stoke IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gainer the Gopher 0 Posted January 16, 2016 I like your line up, gref.I''m ambivalent as to whether Jerome or Mmm-bop starts but everyother selection I agree with 100%. Redmond seems much more effective as a sub who can run them ragged. Please please please Bournemouth, start Grabban. We''ve got his number! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Well b back 3,190 Posted January 16, 2016 [quote user="Lord Eddard Stark"]Who is this willo and what''s the deal with ending every comment with an ellipsis the mysterious little devil?[/quote]If you check previous threads he always has the team spot on ( see last week Man City when it would have been impossible to guess ). When he says it is it usually is and in this instance he has said it is not it maybe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,580 Posted January 16, 2016 @Morty- that is a shame, had high hopes for him when we signed him but currently he seems to be about 6th in the midfield pecking order! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

birchfest 397 Posted January 16, 2016 I get the impression that Mulumbu is still getting back to match fitness, though to be honest I like the look of that 11! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grefstad 0 Posted January 16, 2016 Best XI at the moment. Sadly I missed Jerome for Mbokani, but the rest was correct.Still think it is strange Mbokani starting twice in 3 days....but AN knows best.Personally I would prefer Jerome''s constant harassing in this game, as we normally play well vs Bournemouth when we play a high line, and it requires hard work from the forward to open spaces for the highlined midfield to score.But in AN we trust!

king canary 7,580 Posted January 16, 2016 *sigh* piss poor defending for that goal. So easy for Pugh to get his cross in and a player given a free header 6 yards out. Cracking cross mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
