This is going to be very, very tough for us today so criticism should be kept to a minimum. We are basically playing two right-backs and two left wing-backs as a back four away to a front line that has cost Man City £113m. Throw in Toure who always kills us and the fact their top defender, Kompany, is playing means this is by far our toughest game of the season.

No centre back. Bloomin' eck! Kelly and PVA paring up against Citeh - it's either a penalty give away or as many holes as a collider.

Oh, I forgot De Bruyne so make that £168m. Absolutely ridiculous.

I think Big Sam wants to man mark their front three all over the pitch with Kelly as kind of a sweeper. He thinks pace is more important than size in defending them.
Divorced...And LOVING it! |

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football. |

Allardyce explaining that Schlupp at CB is a response to City's faster front line.
