City v Ajax Pre Match Discussion

[MSP]

Here we go:
Manchester City FC ‏@MCFC
#MCFC team to play #Ajax: Hart, Richards, Kompany (C), Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Barry, Nasri, Y. Toure, Aguero, Dzeko #ajaxvcity

Good team, I guess it should be enough.

like that team.
got a solid look to it.
got the aerial threat as well as the threat in behind.
very happy with that

id go as far as saying that if silva was fit and played instead of nasri , that would be our strongest team

This really is make or break for Nasri. He really needs to step upt ot he plate, starting tonight.

Is Zab on the bench to keep Tevez's spirits up and make sure he doesn't throw his toys out of the pram ? Glad to see Clichy at LB. Can't afford to have Kolarov getting roasted even though he has improved this season.

If Milner and Barry can control the midfield we should have enough to get the win.

 

[Armaan]

Great, come on big Ed.

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Bit devoid of midfield options so Nasri has to play.

As some have said, let's hope he put's in a performance......and if nothing else, a shift.

Best eleven available.

I would love this game to become our first big win of the season, but you never know with any team in the Champions League as anything can happen. Plus, this Ajax side is not the best one I have seen to be honest, especially if you compare it to the one they had in the 90's.

Mancini has to make the correct team selection and he must go out to dominate the midfield with a triangle of Milner, Barry and Yaya.

I think he will start with Tevez and Kun tonight if you ask me, although I would like to see Dzeko up top with Kun and Tevez behind - for me, Tevez can play in the hole as a creative outfit, and I believe he is just as good as Nasri at it, but not Silva.

Tevez not as as good as Nasri in that AM creative role

 

[Flying in a Blue Dream]

I wonder (suspect) that if Edin doesn't grab some glory, he'll get the subbed at 60 treatment.
Which may well happen anyway.

Lescott starting worries me. Odemwingie and Lukaku wore him out.

Best eleven available.

agreed
