Scum v Manchester City: Official Match Thread

[keemcfc]

Nigel is definitely out so we need extra weight in midfield.

Is he?

Oh dear...I'd go for this:

_______________Hart_______________
Richards_Kolo Touré_Kompany_Boateng
__________________________________
________Zabaleta____Milner_________
____________Yaya Touré____________
_____Silva__________________Kolarov
______________Tévez______________

Bench:

Given,

Lescott,

Barry,
Vieira,
SWP,

Džeko,
Balotelli/Boyata.

I have a feeling he'll be fit though, maybe it's all just talk, and according to this:

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.eatsleepsport.com/manchester-city/super-mario-news-de-jong-a-derby-doubt-1164080.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.eatsleepsport.com/manchester ... 64080.html</a>

We're 'set to start with' Tévez and Džeko upfront, so it looks like Mancini will line them up like this:

_______________Hart________________
Zab/Micah/Boat_Touré/Boat_Komps_Kola
___________________________________
______Milner/de Jong__Barry_________
____________Yaya Touré_____________
_______________Silva________________
___________Tévez___Džeko___________

@keemcfcs post...

i think this will be the formation
_______________Hart________________
Zab/Micah/Boat_Touré/Boat_Komps_Kola
___________________________________
______Milner/de Jong__Barry_________
____________Yaya Touré_____________
_______________Silva________________
___________Tévez___Džeko___________

but that makes me worry about nani/rafael down that right side.

so im not sure how mancini plans to battle that.

____________Yaya Touré____________
_____Silva__________________Kolarov
______________Tévez______________

This is the Guardians team sheet

They have Michael Johnson on the bench with Razak No balotelli.

The only way they will score tomorrow is through a set piece! Vidic and smalling will be the big threat! We seem not to stop the crosses in all the games we play! It's always upto the defense to head it clear or kick it away! Cross field balls to Nini will be one of there tactics also!

Same here, maybe with Richards at right back though, if he's fit.

 

[buckshot]

I'd like to see Balo get in there to mix it up.

_____________Dzeko
____Balotelli__________Tevez
______________Silva
_________De jong____Yaya
Zabaleta__Kompany__Kolo__Boateng
_______________Hart

_____________Dzeko

________Milner_____De jong
Zabaleta_Kompany_Kolo_Boateng

I had another vision after the Kompany goal I saw yesterday night. We had Richards and SWP handling the right flank with Zabaleta and Kolarov doubling up on the left. Bazza and Yaya in central midfield, leaving Tevez and Silva up front. I guess it was Toure partnering Kompany in central defence with Boateng, Lescott, Vieira, Milner and Dzeko amongst the subs. Sorted.
