It makes me a bit nervous that Son, Eriksen, and Lamela all seem to be passing around a good-luck/form charm that only one of them can hold at any given time.
At some point this season I want to see Son, Lamela, Eriksen, and Kane hitting top form all at the same time. If that happens I might die of orgasm.
I just wonder if Poch will decide to start Son up top following his goalscoring form and the fact that Lamela, Eriksen and Son can play behind them with Dembele coming into central midfield.
I personally wouldn't do such a thing simply because I don't feel Son works well as a centre forward, but it'd certainly be a brave call.

Son did well tonight at CF?
Want to win this, why not. Its only City.
A few things about those highlights (which I watched 5 times mind you):
1) Kane was so fucking composed on his goal. How many players and great ones at that would have skied it by trying to hit it too hard?
2) The tense build up during Lamela's goal is great. There was almost a strange silence with the fans behind the goal hoping that he didn't fuck that up which he beautifully didn't and the crowd behind the goal blows up at the same time. Put a smile on my face.
Getting me excited for Sunday!
SMESH EM!
I have not really watched City play this season so I can't tell much at the moment but from what I saw in their highlights their one touch passes worry me worry me that may induce some over stretching of ligaments from our backs. A win would be fantsstic but I would happily take a draw with no injury right now. Once I see the first 10 min of the match though I'll be able to tell you kids much more. Coys
I remember this last goal distinctly. Lamela was so tired after that goal, he really did give it his all. My heart went out to him right then :dierpochhug:
pep plays possession football and I think fast counter attack is key to break their defense. I noticed Son deep in the penalty area when defending the corners, but he should be out near the center ready to counter with his speed. He's really good at counter attack and I've seen him making some ridiculous play when he's in front with space.
THis is what i am talking about
Also watch his second goal. He's really dangerous in the counter attack

Because aguero's the best striker in the league.
Son & lamela are good but aguero is on another level.
Glad KDB is out. I think city will be a bit more clinical than us. 1-2 loss I'm afraid.
Would like to see george get some match time.
He looked a real handful last night.

The only thing I will remember about njie for the rest of my life is his assist in this match.
It all depends how the opposition sets them selves up against us-how we should play him? At the moment, he wants to score goals, he's looking to score goals. He is not looking for assists or running down the flanks to get behind defences to cross. It worked last night at the end, making him hold the line as our only forward. He's best playing off a CF, being flexible , thats the way forward for him and us as a team.

City play to overwhelm you by pushing numbers forward and wide. Peps master stroke is over flowing areas quickly with players. we need to go at em, stop this happening. We cant allow them to dictate the game pattern. I feel our FBs and the player in front to the back 4 are key. up front we need to keep it narrow, play down the middle in and around the box. If our FBs can get forward, then all well and good. They will look to stop this happening by getting it wide quickly. They wont like it up em.COYS.
What the hell is that jerk Spahic doing...running to the corner flag and doing that gimpy little pose. Poor Son is left to celebrate all by himself! :dierpochhug:
Wouldn't mind Celtic crocking a few of these cunts tonight
Normally I am worried about the easy games, Middlesbrough away, or Sunderland at home after our CL games, last few seasons we would have thrown both these away, we always up our game when playing teams in the top 4, Poch took a big risk resting some big names last night, and it paid off with 3 points, I'm hoping Dier, Moosa, rose, walker and even Sissoko on the bench all come back into the team for Sunday nicely rested and show everyone that it ain't all about the L'pool and Citeh this season!!!!
