Heard a whisper that Man City will start with Fernandinho and Garcia against Barcelona tomorrow night

That's what I would do. And then Yaya playing more advanced alongside Nasri and Silva with a lone striker up front (not sure who though, probably Jovetic or Negredo).

Hart


Zab. Kompany MDM. Kolarov

Garcia

Silva Toure. Fern Nasri

Negredo


Garcia and fern to do the more defensive duties and mopping up. Silva Toure and nasri to do the more attacking duties but drop into defensive duties as and when.

Fernandinho - Yaya - Garcia looks a powerful central midfield

I think a key part of our game will be giving Yaya license to roam and allowing him to get into positions where he can drive up the pitch, hopefully Fernandinho and Garcia will allow him to do that.

Barca are a small side and if yaya is given a free role I can see him walking through them, like he did vs Madrid away last season.

It wouldn't be that easy for the three of them to develop the understanding to play that system. And with Fernandhino not training until today its not something they'll have worked on in training.

The grass looks really long

Now I might be imaging this but just watched barca training on sky sports and I noticed something!

The grass looked the longest I have ever seen it. It looked like hough end. Is this a ploy to slow barca down???

Mr P is going to hide the suspended Milner in the long grass with a snipers rifle just in case Messi gets through on goal.

Any snow forecast for tomorrow thinks back to that game against Spurs at Maine Road ballet on ice.
