Re: City Vs Bayern Munich Pre Match Thread
Yeah, guess it depends on our result tonight. If we manage to win, a Roma win suits us best. If we draw then they obviously need to draw. Considering its Munich I guess we shouldn't be expecting much more than a draw either.

Like I said before, by hook or by crook. If we have to go full on Chelsea to get us out of this group just do it. At this point progressing is far more important than how we do it.

I don't think it's going to happen, but given the amount of players we have out, I'd go for the following tonight:
Zabba.......Kompany.....DeMichelis.....Clichy
................................Fernando
.......................Nasri..................Lampard
Navas...........................................................Milner
...................................Aguero
I think that way we are playing Fernando is his natural position as a holding player in a 3. Lampard left of centre in a 3, where he's played his whole career, and Nasri in the position where he excelled for Arsenal. Then you have Milner on the left tracking Robben and giving extra cover for Clichy. Navas as a threat on the break on the other side, and obviously Kun picks himself.
I understand the clamour for Milner to play in the middle for his work rate, but I think we have literally no one else available in the squad that can do a job defensively for us wide. Also I think with the three I've selected here, they are all comfortable in those positions, there may be an argument there isn't enough work rate in there, but with the extra man it gives us the opportunity to keep the ball better, so hopefully we wouldn't be chasing the ball around as much as last season.
It's essentially a straight choice between Jovetic and Lampard, and for me the main threat we face is getting outnumbered / outclassed in midfield. Playing Jovetic just makes that task all the harder. Lampard isn't the player he was, but he can play left of a 3 with his eyes closed, he's not been able to play in that position for the last few years as us or Chelsea haven't been playing that way. His legs may have gone, but he'll keep the ball for fun which is what we need tonight.
Milner always excels in the big games when doing a hard working job wide. I fear that if he plays in the middle, his limitations in terms of technique and speed of decision making might be exposed against such high quality opposition.
I'd expect us to go 442 with Milner central, Lampard out and Jovetic in, but personally I'd leave that as a change we could make late on if we get desperate. If we start like that we could be 2 or 3 down after 25 minutes like last season.
Whichever way we go, I just hope we give it everything, but remain professional and don't lose our heads like the Moscow game. We can definitely beat these, we did it last year, and let's not forget over the last 3 seasons we have one of the best home records in the whole of Europe. Let's get back to making the Etihad a fortress, Come on City!

Re: City Vs Bayern Munich Pre Match Thread
looking forward to watching the game tonight on tv and listening to the commentators drum into the heads of those watching how we are going to go out tonight if but and whatever blah blah blah, how quiet it is in the stadium, how we don't know how to defend and the old favourite... how we are naive in europe
Arseholes - really hope we batter munich tonight if only to shut up the myriad of detractors
