With that line up I logged on expecting NSC to have the knives out and I’m eating humble pie. You lot really are a let down. [emoji6]

I keep reading about Tau’s champions league pedigree on Facebook so considering City have never won The CL I suggest we all lump on at 14/1

A team designed to sit back (with 6 defenders picked) and then break with the lightening speed of the lion (and Tross); it worked for Southampton! Maupay rested for the realistic points haul games at Leeds & Fulham.

Great team.

agree

correct selection, with dirty and fullers up next

but, i've got the fear, we are going to get BATTERED! ah, well

 

[KZNSeagull]

Percy time!

With the optimism shown by our South African friends, I am firmly in the "we will win" camp. You all know it really.

3-7-0 surely?

I like that Potter's answer to those who say "we aren't good enough defensively" and those who say "we aren't good enough offensively" is to play a 6-1-3 formation somehow without any out and out strikers. It is equal parts Park The Bus as it is Gung Ho! No one will know what to criticize now!

Sanchez
Veltman-Webster-Dunk-Burn-Bernardo
Trossard-White-Propper-Tau-MacAllister​

Something like that formation? Looks pretty solid to me.

 

[giveusfalmerplease]

why dont they publish the team to match the formation? never understood that. it looks like we have 3 defenders up front. Now THAT WOULD BE A HIGH LINE

 

[rogersix]

Dan Burn

what are our options?

his confidence must be wavering, so, slot him back in, man city away

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I'm not ruling out a draw. Keep the faith and all that...

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

We win this. Don't know how, but we win this.

Oh, and we conceed after 2 mins.

I'm inclined to believe one of those but like Schroedinger and his cat I won't say which...

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Looks like Potter has accepted our fate and is preparing for the Championship.

I have not given up and will still be cheering us on.

 

[Disciple]

Welp. This is gonna be a tough watch. Should never expect much away at City but our team gives me nightmares. 6 defenders starting and no strikers, don't really understand tbh. It's a head scratcher.

 

[Muzzy]

Should get through to the 5th round with this team playing tonight

Pep likes Graham - from the BBC

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says "it is a joy to watch" and "a joy to analyse" Brighton.

"When you see them, you are concerned about the quality," he said.

"I said to the players, the first words when we were on the pitch because we cannot be in the meeting rooms, was that we will have to be in the highest standard, the highest level, to compete against them.

"I am a big fan of Graham Potter. I like a lot how they play and it will be a big test for us after this amount of games."

First goal sweepstake anyone?

12 minutes

I've just got a sweepstake ticket for the time of Albion's next goal.

It said 'April'.

 

[elwheelio]

I hope Tau doesn't score too many tonight. Don't want him to leave in this transfer window.

Got to keep the opposition guessing somehow?
