This may prevail, but Swansea are not the division "top clubs". This is bordering on incompetence or willful neglect.

You have to have some possession to get the dead ball decisions. The lack of width or pace to get up the pitch will kill us. Sadly, I can see this being an utter humiliation. 4 v 0 to them is my prediction. I have never felt so hopeless about a City team before a match. Bet the Jacks are already laughing and rubbing their hands with glee.

That's exactly how I feel, we've had poor teams in the past but at least our managers at the time used to pick their best team and formations, but this is absolutely depressing.

After the team playing so well againgst reading although we lost MM goes back to 5 at the back which was not working before.
Having said that we will probably go out and win (I know i am a bit old to bellieve in fairy stories)

As for countering that is going to depend on Giles producing the deliveries for Moore. Hopefully Moore will get that one early chance where we will then defend. That's the best we can hope for.

Am sure you'll get the same response? Or maybe not.
At least MM has left the majority of the so called wonder kids out of this game. They should be nowhere near our first team and are only in and around the squad/1st team because a certain owner refuses to sanction the buying of players.
Bore draw today at best, then listen to MM hail a great defensive display.

Even more reason not to play with 5 centre backs then and get some bodies in midfield to counter them. This formation will help Swansea as they will overload the midfield and no that we have no chance of hurting them on the break.
Best form of defence is attack and all that…someone needs to let Mick know.
