I'm a big fan of Emersonn and think he has a big future for us. However, yesterday I thought he didn't do enough - especially first half - and should have scored when he headed against the post!
While I don't believe Flemming's cameo was particularly good, is it a game where experience should start? |  |

Emmerson has done more for us than Flemming so far. Trust him next week. |  |

I quite liked the signing of flemming. But not been impressed.
Yesturday he came on and at times it was like he was annoyed at coming on. He was passing to clarke but his passing to him was really bizarre. Not to feet. Just looked really disinterested |  |

We will be under the cosh for most f the game so I'd play a back three with two wingbacks and Flemming up front as he can hold the ball up better. |  |

No
We need Emerson’s hold up play |  |

Emersonn is the real deal. Flemming reminds me of BamBam but less technically gifted. |  | | |

Bit of a hospital pass for Fleming if we do bring him in.
He doesn’t see much of the ball, is isolated, we lose 0-4 and Emersonn is back in for the Forest and Hull games … |  | | |

It's amazing how much you read into things.
"annoyed at coming on"
"just looked really disinterested"
How can you tell that from a few seconds of action? |  | | |

3 weeks with no football and the prem is hard. Don't see any reason to drop Emersonn really. Works hard up there and carries a threat.
I like Flemming but I think we probably need Emersonn's mobility against City.
Will be fascinating to see if this is the game where we see a more defensive formation as he's spoken about referencing City before. | |

If he doesn’t play more defensively at City presumably he never will.
He said that on his first day, didn’t he? Maybe things have changed and he now views sticking with what we have been doing as our best strategy. He’s not one for settling for a point ever, is he? | | | |

I'm still waiting to see the hype with Flemming. I would stick with Emersonn. | | | |

Two years ago, our players looked scared and in awe of Man City and playing there. This time should be different with players who have been there and done that and some from abroad who probably are not as naive. Hope we take it to them and make it tough for them - couple of injuries and cards for them wouldn't go amiss either | | | |

At this stage of his career, it seems he struggles against big, imposing, physically strong, experienced, ( and canny ) central defenders, AKA, Van Dyke, Tarkowski, Bassey. What bracket of central defender you'd put the likes of Ruben Dias in is possibly a matter for debate. |  | | |

Emersonn's work yesterday was excellent. He took on Bassey constantly, got Bassey booked, and very nearly got him sent off soon afterwards - as a result of Bassey not being able to cope with him, I mean, without grappling.
He held up and laid the ball off well, and pressed pretty well (with a few rest periods) up until he went off. He's a real handful.
He should have scored that one, I agree, but he had a really good game, imo, as a lone striker.
Having said all that, I would give him a rest against City, at least bring him on for 30 rather than start him for 60, and I'd finally do the alluded to 3 at the back for this one. We've ingrained our usual 4-2-3-1 well now and we can experiment in a game we're 90+% certain to lose.

Ouattara and Davis to probably be the main, occasional, threats on the opposite side to the ball for a counter attack, Maeda to hassle and harry and look to pinch the ball 60 in front of a solid three.
Soak it up, chant "Cheats!" for 80 minutes, then hit the fkers late and hard. |  |

Could you not see it? Presumably you also missed that he was preoccupied by thinking whether the faithfuls will out Hannah Fry next and whether he also left the gas hob on. I’d have thought that was bleeding obvious from his body language  |  |

To be honest, if it wouldn't result in a points deduction I'd just play the kids. |  | | |

I thought we started well at their place. We did take the lead though with Szmodics, and then it went pear-shaped. [Post edited 11 Oct 21:17]
