*** city v huddersfield offical match thread ***

[South Stand Balti]

No Delph again.

[john@staustell]

What the fuck is that team!? No Sterling, no Sanè, no Mahrez.....but Gundo. Fuck off Pep.

He's gone for the slowest combination possible. That must be the quickest bench in the world.

Don't think we'll be breaking away at speed much to be honest.

All the game will be in their last third. I did think Mahrez would be ideal for these sorts of games though

[mr_nool]

That line up has me worried. Pep is trying to be too cute, I feel. This could back fire.

Getting cocky again like his first season.

Hmmm.
Not sure what the formation is but assuming it’ll be 3 at the back.

They’re playing 2 up front. Hope we have the ball so much that they don’t get released, as it’s a bit of a worry.

Still think our frontline should frighten the shite out of them.

[Mase]

Smashed every record possible last season so obviously we need to fuck about with formation. Makes perfect sense.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

No clue who is playing where but he has me intrigued. He’s got to tinker a bit to find the magic formula for covering for Kev. Let’s hope he has it spot on.

back three with wingbacks, looking to stretch their defensive line and cut back passes to Bernard and Dave if there's no cross on (is my guess).

[Outcast]

To be fair our usual speedy Gonzales suspects failed to break them down last season. We have to mix it up to become less predictable, the down side, if it doesn't click it could backfire.

[nottsblue]

Lets not forget Huddersfield have failed to score in eight of their last eleven PL games. Lets not get too worried about what they might do, rather on what we can do. Kun and Jesus up front looked mint last season. No reason to doubt it now

[Beefymcfc]

I think this formation and players s specific for Huddersfield. We had 80% possession last time with 15 shots, but only 2 on target due to their congested last 3rd; they had more shots on target than us!

Intricate play and big men in the box from set pieces. Let's see how it pans out.

[Kippax Sean]

Assuming they're going to sit deep and only counter with 3players, looks like we're going to break them down with short intricate passing 30 yards out.

[iwasthere2012]

C’mon City.

[Saul Goodman]

Back 3 with a left wingback and no right wingback. Pep likes doing this and unbalancing the pitch

[mr_nool]

We've started well.
David Silva looks up for it.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Poor keeper that looks sore

[Mase]

Wasting chances again. Should be 2-0 up.

[CTID Hants]

Ouchy that's gotta hurt their keeper!

[carl_feedthegoat]

Atrocious by Jesus there...not acceptable,

[phips]

Jesus shouldve scored by now. Silva is laying them on platters for him
