ah ya know what in for a penny and all that...I'll do the deal...I like Rugs a lot but with Roma back I can move him on

ok +8m?

mind FA Cup replay tomorrow, tactics in by 7pm, I wont remind you again

Man City vs Stoke

big game this in the race for mid-table security, City come into it with 5 losses and a single win from their last 6 games, whilst stoke have 2 wins, 3 losses and a draw, The away team carry the form into this game but City’s home advantage levels that out.
They say styles make fights and this 4-1-4-1 vs 3-4-2 is pretty intriguing, I feel Stokes two DM’s would ordinarily provide an effective shield against most sides but with City going with 2 more attacking midfielders it squares it up nicely – The biggest weakness for me in a side with 3 at the back is lack of width, I think City would get a fair bit of joy out-wide, Schneiderlin has settled in well at Everton and looks a good addition at DM. I really like what Ska is building at the potteries and think in Belotti they have a proper match-winner. Ultimately for me the <redcard> of their star man Coutinho hindered them as an offensive unit
Full time:
City 1-1 Stoke
Icardi (Yaya)
Belotti (Coutinho)
<redcard> Coutinho

MOTM - Schneiderlin

cheers, decent result

you seen much or anything of Jakub Jankto?

was a nice game, nice to see two different sides lined up - think schneidy is looking decent enough at Everton (i'd take him at Arsenal) Icardi will always give you a shot in a game and the pace of Walcott will trouble most sides - especially a side with a back 3 with attacking WB's

going 4141 against teams around me is fine, don't think it would work v better teams

no mate not really BUT Udinese have an eye for talent, he has a fair few games under his belt this season so who knows...finally sorted my BT sport 2 weeks back so will possibly get to see him in the run in

cant say I have seen Udinese this season

picking up points against the teams around is what matters,home adv always helps...Just the form advantage of Stoke meant you didn't get the full benefit

so Schneidy, what we saying?

just read up on him, according to whoscored 4 goals and 4 assists in Serie A

yeah I know a point is better than nothing, cant imagine all the bottom teams will pick up anything this week, who knows

Morgan and Icardi are probably my best two assets so don't really want to sell either sorry

yeah I see that as well, PL clubs looking at him so he must be doing ok

Cuadrado - J.Mario - Morgan - Jankto - D.Perrotti

a midfield five this week maybe

away to Liverpool a midfield 6 lol

Damn fan got in ahead of me for jankto

I always do Ludy

Your midfield is really good like that

yeah Yaya am Turan both ko'd this week

but as ever up for deals at City

LSTD will play his anti football with a formation that is clearly unbalanced

Does anyone here remember the time that Park set his team up as 9-0-1 in the hope of snatching a draw?

I remember submitting tactics Park was on results - thought I had come up with a killer formation no weakness what so ever....park said he liked it...double checked I'd played 12 men

no point going head to head v lstd as man for man Liverpool are much better than City so Ill need to come up with something, even if he is the anti Christ of attacking football

Good to see Traore up on the list at full back. Hopefully he gets enough game time to become a top class player.

Lewis Cook to become as good as Dele Alli though!

playing Luiz at CB is hardly anti attacking!
