Arsenal game looking tough

[Jimma]

Lescott's the weak link, he was appalling against Blackpool at times. And thank fuck Kolarov's back in training, because Bridge would be in for some doggy-style shit. As long as we remain strong in midfield, and De Jong's sizeable pecker is up, we'll be okay. The Gooners don't like it up 'em. No worries whatsoever about Yaya's mobility and he'll be vital in that tussle with Diaby.

I think we will have our main midfield in Song, Diaby and Cesc in there. I think we are physically strong there. Its the centre halves that really worries me as we have our two best and quickest CBs out in Vermaleen and Koscielny. Djourou and Squallaci are bigger than the other rwo, but also slower and less mobile. Tevez will give them big problems as well. Sagna is our as well, which means Eboue will come in and as much as I love the guy, sometimes he leaves huge space behind him.

Will Kolorav make this one or will Bridge play?

bang on op, we will have our work cut out, a draw looks most likely, this is a game where bob SHOULD play the italian way, i'm sure he knows that though.
i hope yaya is back, with nige treading on tip toes at blackpool gaz had too much to do, we need all 3 back to their best for this.we are lucky wishire is out.

Wilshere would not start anyway mate

Kolarov off the bench if we are lucky methinks.

Course it's gonna be tough, they're one of the best teams in the league! They often brush aside European teams at the emirates, and lots of Prem teams as well, but it'll be a very different type of game on Sunday to the one they had last night. There's no doubting it's going to be hard though, none at all. But like the gooner said Tevez can cause their defence a lot of trouble and with them having van rapist out I think we're capable of holding off their strikers

So its gonna be Bridge left back and Lescott in the middle. No offence, but I really dont rate Bridge and think Nasri can give him serious problems

If Bridge starts, we've got problems.

Assume Mancini will stick with 4-5-1 after failure of 4-4-2 for first 70 minutes against Blackpool. Should resist temptation to make a place for Adebayor in the starting line-up and keep him on the bench to use for last 15 minutes if needed

 

[MadchesterCity]

Nige will get red carded.

I was thinking that - hope you are wrong

 

[mcfc4title]

City can match and beat Arsenal on our park - Arsenal always seem more suspect away and especially the further north they travel!

 

[Small Mentality]

Agreed, concern is that NDJ will not be able to keep a low profile like last Sunday. We'll need him to get stuck in and wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal players try to get him booked/sent out as well...

no one will try to get him send off, he's gonna play against Diaby and Song, believe me they can take care of themselves
