City away 18.10.2014

mickman

Well the internationals are over and a great result for Ireland. Back to serious business now , city away on saturday at 12.45

last away outing was a great result for us against arsenal, dont think we will get anything from city though. 3-0 to city.

Kiith

We had a good result against Arsenal, but getting a result against City in the Etihad is another story all together. I'd expect a loss, but at long as we don't utterly capitulate, i'll be happy enough.

Dublin Spur

0-0

slegs

Think there were signs the last day that we are getting a better shape for being hard to break down.

Hopefully we can improve on this progress and hit them on the break..

DubPerryman

Agree with Slegs, Poch has shown signs of being more conservative when playing the 'big' teams. It's the way we've got to play and there's no shame in it. My only concern is that we don't have any natural pace on the break because we'll need to punish them on the counter.

City and Roma went there and took a draw gladly. Stoke went there and knicked all three points. Believe!

Sugarlumps

Dzeko loves playing against us. City haven't been firing on all cylinders. Hopefully the international players come back unscathed. We might nick a draw, early morning beers for me...win win

Devo from Dublin

The big cry baby may not be playing.

Kimsang

If we could only emulate 50% of what Roma did to them in Europe. We could learn a lot from that game.

Ade injured after all that jogging he did in our last game?

I was actually hoping it was ade too. Kompany will never have an easier game

Sugarlumps

Ade & Bentaleb were late coming back from internationals, doubt either will feature.

Minjor

Team : Lloris, Dier, Fazio, Kaboul, Rose. Capoue, Mason. Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela; Soldado.

Mason starting again. Interesting.

Riccardo Rocha no?!!

Coys great to see lorris and chadl passed the fitness test. Hope mason continues his positive forward looking style.

Unless capoue does an absolute number on silva I fear for us today.

He's been performing for a few games now. Looks to be growing in confidence. Let's hope he can handle Silva.

Kiith

Soldado's first league start for 7 months...yikes.

davycc

Any stream boys? Soldado should be starting every game he is fit for

Yeah because he deserves to be eh??!

Harry Kane should be starting out of the three of them. Scoring goals and working hard for the team. Tough luck for the lad.

irishmover

Game over already lads.

irishmover

Spoke too soon get to **** in!!

Kiith

We simply don't have a striker that can do that.

Kiith

Get in Eriksen!! Who needs a striker :P

Soldado shoul start every game with Kane as his partner at home and the so called weaker teams.. Ade should fook off out of the club asap not fit to wear the jersey mate!

Streams please sounds inspired by Erikson

irishmover

Disgusting dive. This league and its refs can **** right off!! Better watching the australian A-league!

Kiith

The referee is an idiot. Never a penalty. Total bull****.

Left Back on the Bench

Lamelas started very poorly

He looks very frustrated, which is a bad sign.

Sugarlumps

Lamela has been a bystander, needs to come off.

Sugarlumps

Soldado links up well, Eriksen looks dangerous. Very impressed with Mason once again, looks like a born leader. If we can somehow contain City's attacking threat, easier said than done, they look vulnerable at the back.

Sugarlumps

Lamela offering no cover, get him off now.

irishmover

Mason, Eriksen and Lloris exceptional.

Agreed he's off the pace of the game. Really promising performance other than that, especially our tactics and decision making. Been unlucky with that penalty decision, but hopefully the lads can keep their heads up high, and maybe ade/kane could make a difference in the 2nd half.

Augero's goal, can't really blame the defense much, it was a wonderful goal. Nava's always plays well against us. If Lamela isn't offering anything going forward, then he needs to give Dier a dig out who isn't a RB. We look dangerous in attacking play. Either we'll dig in or get mauled.

Don't think lennon is on the bench

oppiuy

City actually look like they want to hit us on the break. Lamella quiet but soldado linking the play really well.I'd bring on someone to manmark aguero

Not on the bench.

Sugarlumps

Well done Kaboul out muscle the fecker.

Kimsang

Sheet, Townsend will probably make a cameo so. On a different note, Eriksen is absolutely on fire. Maybe those international manager's remarks lit a fire under his ass/ was the right was to inspire him.

Sugarlumps

Great save.

It's against the forum charter to post details of streams here.

Sugarlumps

An come on, get a hold of the ball. Have to see out this pressure.

Lamela looks out of his depth, please get him off now.
