    Want to move on quickly from yesterday so posting this weekend’s fixture a little early.

    Bloody hell, where does one start?

    Just read Carra’s prediction that Liverpool will be right in the mix come May. That shocked me because just 5-6 weeks ago we were contemplating possibly going 10 points clear and now a pundit is predicting that we will still be in it! That’s a realization to how we’re playing right now.

    Bournemouth are Tom Tit away from home. I can’t remember when they last got points on the road never-mind won so hang on, let me check, here we go, effin end of October, 3-0 at Fulham and they’ve lost every damn away game since so if we don’t beat Bournemouth then the slump has really kicked in and City won’t show any sympathy or mercy and then they’ll off into the distance because we ain’t gonna get three points at Old Trafford….exhale…that was a long sentence but don’t care.

    A maximum return a MUST because City will beat Chelsea and Spurs will do to Leicester what we should have done.

    Team to play Bournemouth: Allison, Milner, Virgil, Matip, Robbo, Wij (if he’s fit), Fab, Shaqiri, Mane, Salah and Sturridge.

    Unlikely line-up as Bobby will start despite being utter dog dirt last night. Might be a game for Naby to kick on from his much improved second half after being in the dog dirt posse with Bobby. Give Danny a pop up top alongside whoever, not arsed.

    Time to roll up the sleeves, give everyone a bollocking, bring back the press and rock n roll football and fuck it! We’re gonna win this, 3-0.

    Kin’ell.

    I don’t think City will beat Chelsea, and Leicester are not an easy team to beat either

    Firmino must be dropped for this game, he just looks too exhausted, possibly from too much servicing of his wife.

    And we need much more from Salah, he has been completely overshadowed in the last 2 games by Mane, who has easily been our best player in these games.

    I would start with Sturridge or Origi, and Firmino can come on later, or not even at all.

    We must aim to totally thrash Bournemouth and bring our confidence back

    On Mane i would say he has been our best players this season I cant remember him having any bad games & when we are playing poorly he always seems to be the bright spark.

    As for the game winning it is a must as city will pick up a minimum of 4 points this week. I am not sure why Frimino is not doing it at the min some teams have played closer attention to him when he plays deep which stops the supply line to Salah & when he plays further up the pitch he just stays in crowded areas. Not having a good enough back up or stiff competition for him is becoming an issue.

    I agree with Rob its time for the high press & intensity to return.

    Ye agree about the high press and intensity coming back. Other teams are doing it to us.

    Few players not performing now but Firmino really was poor on Monday. Not sure we have anyone good to take his place. Sturridge is done.

    We need taa back. Milner is not a right full and it’s not working out

    Fully expect us to win. Filly expect a big big performance in our next two games and then ready for utd

    Get back to basics. Clean sheets. Create chances and build our confidence up again

    Yesterday it came out that there’s are still doubts over Hendo and Wij for this game which is worrisome.
    Still nothing concrete on TAA either.
    If none of them are available we’re gonna have to go for the same team again.

    I believe Shaqiri will start this game.

    Despite our missing midfielders, I feel this is a good chance for Keita, in particular, plus Fabinho to solidify their starting places. Over to you guys, you have been presented with a golden opportunity, don’t mess it up

    My team would be like this if I was ze boss.

    Alisson
    Fabinho – Matip – van Dijk – Robertson
    Milner – Keita
    Shaqiri – Firmino – Mané
    Salah

    Problem is Shaquiri is not playing well. Either is Firmino and keita is a liability at the middle.

    I’d play fabhino at right back and if Henderson got he starts

    To many players are out of form at the minute. We need a big performance on sat and the players to show a lot more fucking balls and desire for the fight

    Thats why I would continue playing them, to get them in form. Cause we all know that the talent is there.

    This i why I’ve been worried for over a year now about not having enough options up front.
    We’ve been very lucky with injuries with the front three. That’ll not continue forever. Mon night we saw both Firmino and Salah outta form but we had very little on the bench to change it and we’ll prob have to stick with them again on Saturday.

    Keita looked far better in the final third than he did midfield, would have Fabinho and Wig/Milner as a double 6 with Keita ahead and Sturridge as a 9, bobby needs to sit this one out
