Five-straight-wins and playing so very well going into this home, Premier League game against a very much struggling Crystal Palace side who have already changed their manager.
Let’s hope we can continue that tomorrow (3:00pm KO BST)…
v Crystal Palace
 |
| Etihad Stadium |
(Number correct from starting line-up in the last game, which was
a few games back v Liverpool: 9/10).
4-4-1-1 / 4-4-2:
____________________Aguero____________________
_____________________Jesus____________________
____________________Ederson___________________
Ederson to wear the gloves…and the
protective head gear.
With Vinny
unlikely to be risked for this one it’s, sort
of, a ‘back 4’; with Benjamin & Kyle supporting the attacks when/where
possible.
I think we’ll then see four creative,
attacking midfielders / wingers for our home game against a fragile outfit in
the shape of Leroy, David, Kevin & Bernardo; all supporting Gabriel &
Sergio in attack.
Claudio the back-up stopper; Danilo &
Mangala the defensive replacement options. Fabian Fernandinho & Yaya
provide the central midfield options from the side; Raheem in reserve for a more
advanced change.
Notable absences: Vincent Kompany (on
way back from injury / back in training), Ilkay Gundogan
(injured).
Although Palace might ‘pack
the midfield’ and provide some resistance there I’m sure...that’s fine by me!
Result?
A City win. Might take some 'breaking
down' at first but I think this might also be another big score.
Last
season’s, corresponding pre-match prediction and result…

Expected weather conditions during
the game: Cloudy but dry and reasonably warm for our first Autumn game at 63F with a light, Southerly breeze.
Still some family illness issue but it's nice to be back ‘Blogging’ again!
I like the strategic use of bold fonts, but I wondered sometimes where my attention should be with the emphasis you were conveying. I’m also sorry to hear about the family illness issues, I hope those are resolved soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Boston...
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your message and for reading. I very much apprecite your feedback too.
With regards to bold fonts, I'm taking it as the colours I use and not the minor headlines in bold. If I've got that right; I understand fully and your message has made me aware that I've started to use much more coloured wording of late.
The blue are hyperlinks and I include these as I've noticed that I get 'blog hits' from all over the world and, sometimes, I make reference to some more obsure things other than just players and team names. However, taking a 'step back', I am aware that my blog has started to look a little TOO colourful and your kind feedback has made me have another look at that. Once again I appreciate the feedback.
Thanks again for reading and for your feedback and many thanks also for your kind words regarding the issues with family illness.
Take care.
