Mamardashvili

Bradley Konate Van Dijk Robertson

Szoboszlai Gravenberch Mac Allister

Salah Ektike Wirtz

433 Improved pressing and counter pressing game, Intensity tempo variation passing finishing leave 2 up one hanging wide one more central depending on the play, inside out and outside in runs looking to be released in behind down the line or through the channels

Get the win no excuses

[Kev0909]

we can't drop any more points or we might be out of it by christmas, simple as that

Hopefully arsenal drop some in next games, sunderland away spurs at home never know it's a derby and Chelsea away...

and we win are games and we get back in it.

if we lose and arsenal win 10 point gap, game over.

To be honest, if we can't figure out how to deal effectively with low blocks, then Sundays result will mean little in terms of title defence.

Again Slot mentions the tactics used against us, like he just can't figure out what to do. Perhaps Wirtz in that forward left/free role might help to unpick packed defences with Hugo's skill. For me, Gakpo sadly is too predictable against them.

[Kev0909]

Team to play Dortmund: Donnarumma, Nunes, Stones, Gvardiol, O’Reilly, Nico, Reijnders, Savinho, Foden, Doku, Haaland.

pretty strong team at home to dortmund

we benefit from a extra day rest

[sydenham red]

Foden back in form and the mutant hammering everything in that comes his way. Could do with both their hamstrings going in the game lol. We'll need to start well Sunday and deflate them

[RedMagic]

The team needs to try and deny Haaland any space to run into. Some might say that you should never focus on just one player, but I think we should make an exception for in this case.

[Steveo]

And allow their other quality the freedom of the Emptyhad? Virgil will have to take care of The Alien

[Steveo]

Ekitike should give them plenty to worry about too.

[Nineteenx]

We ‘used to’ use switches on low blocks, compress them all into an area usually our right, go back one and hit a cross field diagonal switch, often dropping over the CBs for LFWD arriving far post area

We did also used to play the up & down ball hit with backspin for runners in behind and scored quite a few literally dropping it just over the heads of CBs in their own 18 yard line

We also had peak Mo and Mane busting past a player moving them

And the quicker ball with backspin hit longer to release a player in behind or our full back win the second ball and start from there as it’s easier to defend from having your man and against mid tempo passing on the deck than a full back coming out of nowhere to win that second ball with time and space, all of a sudden they have no pressure on the ball and we had runners

[jozza800]

Think it will be similar to how it was last season at the Ethiad, we'll play quite deep and compact with Dom and Ekitke playing a lot deeper than normal.

It worked well last season, but the caveat being it was the begining of City's slump. Were we the catalyst or did we catch them just as it was begining?

[Steveo]

Coulda used this fella.

Fresh from his exerts in midweek v PSG scoring 2 and seeing red - he was back in the Bundesliga doing this…!!’!!..

This guy plays for us today and we win.

[Kev0909]

Zzzzzzzzzzz getting boring now, world class defending btw

[justincredible]

Let it. Go....

He didn't want to be here. He and his agent papa were fishing for a transfer, even after the South American kidnapping ordeal. In which the club acted impeccably towards Lucho and his family..

He's gone... Adios.....

[Steveo]
