Burnley v CITY - Official Match Thread

[lionheart]

i'd put barry in for dejong, as the poster above says, we can't afford to have him suspended

On the other hand maybe getting him suspended now would be better. Would miss Blackburn and United. That leaves him free for Arsenal, Spurs, Villa arguably more important and difficult games.

It seems we are playing Blackburn three times this season.

 

[Andouble]

we can't have NDJ and Vieira as our central midfielders again. Ugh that is simply woeful.

I would go

Richards-Toure-Kompany-Garrido
Johnson-DeJong-Barry-Bellamy
Tevez-Adebayor

though to be honest I'd like Onuoha at CB and Kompany in the midfield for NDJ this match.

Given the fact that the following will be unavailable: Given, Michael Johnson, Lescott, Zabaleta, Bridge; I'd go with:

--------------------Given---------------------

Onouha------Toure-------Kompany------Bridge

Johnson------DeJong------Vieira--------Bellamy

-------------Adebayor-----Tevez

Subs:
SWP
RSC
Garrido
Richards
Taylor

Attack down the flanks, keep adebayor in the area for the crosses and press them all over the park. DO NOT sit off them city!! My biggest criticism of Mancini is that he plays half court defence like basketball!!!! Whenever we lose posession in the attacking half, we immediately retreat to the halfway line! Man it does my head in!!!! Attack these tomorrow, early goal and watch them crumble!

Need a win.

Come on City!!!! Our time!!!

 

[Grand Master Ram Rod]

I actually fancy us for once.

4-1 (SWP, Tevez, NDJ, Adebayor).

As they are "unavailable" according to you, why are Given and Bridge included? Presumably you are confusing Shay with Stevie? And where is Bazza?

lol - praps we're putting Stevie in nets, maybe he'd do ok in that position.

I'm going for 2-5 and an incident packed game. Shaunny hat-trick.

COME ON CITY......

Let Bellers loose today and he will score four.
