[WestGorton]

well our best side apart from dias so no excuses tonight

And Laporte

 

[mosssideblue]

Let it go Blue you should have done it years ago ;-)

He's only 6 ffs

 

[FantasyIreland]

Looks great on paper.....but a Kev.Gundo,Bernie midfield tends to suffocate each others game.

Hopefully that wont be the case tonight.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Our best team but will it work

 

[M Gaudino]

No but will mean we’ve take 4 points from last 12 and in bad form … with a run of tough games . Need a win to kick start some confidence .

If we lose tonight I’ll bet you £50 to a charity of choice we won’t win the league

at that point we’ll pray that arsenal run away with it just to avoid the horror of United keeping this run going (although it must be mentioned that their ‘run’ has basically been 5 of the worst teams in the division)

 

[svennis pennis]

This is the line-up I think many of us wanted to see. No complaints from me.

 

[chaddblue]

Going for a draw tonight.

Potter sets up a good team against City and Pepb knows it. And sterling will be full of "revenge" against big bad City.

We still seem to be finding our best team it feels but the Everton game should give us a bit more fire.

Remember how Sterling used to play v Liverpool? He became the invisible man..

 

[JTFactsPlz]

Astonished how popular this lineup is. Pretty sure it's given us poor results so far. Apart from anything else, Bernardo is wasted on RW.

 

[Chi-town blues]

That's what I like; firm and decisive.

;-)

Meant to say flexible 433 into 442 depending on situation

 

[big gaz]

Fair does with that side and Eccles gets to see John boy again ;-)
Come on City 3 points please.
