If de Jong is fit enough start him. I think it's time we pushed Yaya out of DM because he's nowhere near as effective there as he is in central midfield were he can get forward more. Away from home at a team like Bayern I think we need his surging runs, and Nasri's quick runs, on the counter-attack.

Re: Bayern Munich v MCFC pre match thread

Here, read my blog! <a class="postlink" href="http://bluetintedspecs.blogspot.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://bluetintedspecs.blogspot.com/</a> Match reviews and previews of every game City have played this season (apart from last week; I was busy).

Here's my preview of our clash with European giants Bayern Munich!

Well boys and girls, this is it. Bayern Munich, arguably the most established opponents City have faced in a competitive match in their history, at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League. Does it really get much better than this?

I'll go ahead and say I think we're going to get absolutely smashed to pieces tonight. Many of the players that finished the game on Saturday in the 2-0 win over Everton will start tonight (Silva, Kompany, Clichy, Barry etc.), so it's likely that they will run completely out of steam after 60 minutes or so, and with Bayern boasting world-class talents like Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery I can't see past a Bayern win - I'm sorry.

I think we'll give it a good go for half an hour, but Bayern will eventually get the home crowd behind them and go on to take the game 3-0. If City are to pull off a miracle and win the game, then we need to be at least a goal in front by half time. We know how good we can be at the back on our best defensive days, but Bayern have won their last ten games without conceding a goal. Oops.

I think Mancini may make a bold decision tonight and go with Nigel de Jong in the centre of midfield. However, if he isn't fit I don't see a problem with replacing Yaya with Milner. Milner has been excellent since returning from a hamstring injury late last season, so rewarding him with a Champions League start is a good move in my books.

Of course we have the players capable of securing the unlikely outcome of a City win, but after 60 minutes, I fear our time will run out. I will say right here, around 8 hours before kick-off, that I will happily take a draw.

Bayern Munich 3-0 Manchester City

Re: Starting 11 v Bayern.

I would bench Nasri for Milner and push YaYa more forward with Miln/Barry holding.
Otherwise same XI as vs the Blue Dippers

This is going to be tough. Here's the team I think Mancini will pick. I expect us to alter our usual 4-2-3-1 and go for a 4-3-2-1 (or 4-3-3 if you like). Nasri may well be dropped to make way for Milner to form a solid central midfield. De Jong should be available for selection after returning from injury but is probably too rusty to start so will be on the bench I think. We'll be set up defensively but ready to counter when the opportunity arises. As for the subs, Johnson is still carrying a knock I believe and Balotelli is suspended so I'll go for: Pantilimon, K Toure, Savic, Zabaleta, De Jong, Nasri, Tevez. Bayern 1 City 1.
