cambridgeshire canary 6,700 Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Still not sure about the lack of a number 10, even more so with Pukki playing as he tends to look invisible without one and don't think Gilmour at defensive mid is good and he should be more central.. But end of the day it's Man City away and a write off, so whatever Edited August 21, 2021 by cambridgeshire canary 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex 26 Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Free hit this one really, I just hope that we don't get completely obliterated and the players confidence gets knocked. I imagine Manchester City will br raring to go after their defeat against Spurs last week. Edited August 21, 2021 by Alex Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Norfolk Dan 308 Posted August 21, 2021 From the BBC web site... Pep Guardiola makes five changes as he bids to stem a run of five defeats in seven games for Manchester City dating back to the tail-end of last season. Good a time as any to play Man City...

Christoph Stiepermann 1,135 Posted August 21, 2021 I do worry whether we're flogging Pukki too hard sometimes. He has played so much football in the last 2 seasons and he's 31. I'm not moaning about the team selection because I understand why he's gone with that line up, but I keep expecting Pukki to get injured at any moment.

Could be a competition between him and Cantwell. Refs are being a lot harder this season and not giving freekicks for namby pamby challenges and allowing more physicality. I'm all for it tbh, but I'm not sure that really suits us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norfolkngood 1,086 Posted August 21, 2021 This does not really count today but the concern i have this season is are we going to score enough , Pukki is our main goal threat but looked leggy and not as fresh as others last week we must create chances and get players forward quicker 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Smith 2,317 Posted August 21, 2021 They have a good side and will no doubt give us a hiding but without Aguero, Sterling and De Bruyne their line up is not quite a terrifying as it’s looked in the past. As usual, worried about the midfield screening the defence today. Bit surprised he’s not brought Kenny or Sorensen in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
