The View from the Home End

Well that was an interesting day!  I guess the really big question is how will the team react tomorrow night, if they react at all.  Not much from the home fans again for this game, and I really expected a lot of chat tonight. So just a few comments, and the usual stuff, nothing too revolutionary. I have a feeling the (rag) media are going to have a field day now, blaming todays announcement for every single point we drop.  The answer is not to drop any points.

Now…COME ONCITY !!!

How cautious will SA play this one? City on their day are superb, but are also prone to a few errors and De Bruyne is out.

We are long overdue a surprise win…This one could be it..

If Khazri’s available I reckon we start him, he’ll be absolutely raring to go. You know if it was someone else they’d start him against us and no doubt he’d have a blinder and score the winner…He strikes me as the kind of lad who won’t need to be carefully bedded in he seems robust and in good shape, let’s throw him in and see what he’s made of.

Looks like Man City played a “weakened” team today so Aguero and co will be raring to go on tuesday – in the words of unluck Alf on the fast show “bugger”

Bring Man City on!!!!! Aguero and all…….put the new lads in and get straight in their faces from the whistle. High press them all over the park. If Aguero goes for a **** I want somebody there to wipe his ass……all about hearts and minds till the end of the season….we can survive….

1-6 …. Aguero with 4 goals.

Would rather go down fighting mate. I think for so long now we start the game at the SOL by sitting back and surrendering the initiative. I hate this with a passion. When teams come to the North East they have to leave knowing they have been in a game. Nothing better than starting high tempo with a few crunching tackles that gets the fans going. We get beat…we get beat but lets give it a go…imagine Aguero getting the ball out on the wing and Joe Bolton closing him down….lol? Used to live for that stuff. I think this is why the SOL isn’t the same atmosphere as Roker Park. Got to get the crowd going and they will do the rest. We don’t need to sit back to anyone….doing that gives them too much respect. We have some good players now….make them respect us

We need a daft win the come from the next 3/4 games, why not make it this one?…We’ve a good at home record vs City and they’ve just played at the weekend…They could quite easily tear us a new arsehole mind you.

I think we should be targeting a point away at West Ham and three points at home to Man Utd. Anything against City and away at Liverpool, is a bonus

Watching Chitty atm….Their defence is a bit like ours……none existing at times. Just need de Silva and Aguerro injured and we will have a chance.

Sneaky feeling we’ll win this 2-1

My only fear is that Kone has come from the French league which is a million miles away the scenario of the EPL and City may not be the team to make his debut against. Keep the English combo for starting with Kirchoff and maybe Kone in our back pocket if we are ever in danger..

I agree, High pressing leaves space, Man City destroy teams who do that…Sit back, stay organised, frustrate, work hard on not leaving gaps, congest at the back and hope we can nick one on the break
