City v Ajax pre-match discussion

[CityTillIDie!]

I think we need to take it game by game, CUMMON CITY 3 points needed.

Ajax play 4-3-3 with Eriksen playing as a false 9, with this being the case, I personally don't see the need in playing two defensive mids in position, play Garcia as a forward sweeper to mark him.

By putting Barry and Yaya further up, it will press them higher up the field, leave to Zaba and Clichy to be primary defensive fullback marking Ajax's two wide men, with the players we have, our game gets won in the middle - we don't have wingers in this side and to be honest Zaba and Clichy are defensive fullbacks not attacking!

The start of a 4 home game run, no better time to find our mojo again and start banging them in before Spurs and Real Madrid (and Villa). Ajax won't be overawed, they played our neighbours off the park at the swamp last season so we have to raise our level from in Amsterdam.

Must win game,

--------------------Hart--------------------
--Zabaleta----Kompany---Nastasic----Kolarov--
---------------Yaya----Barry---------------
------Aguero-----Tevez-----Nasri--------
------------------Balotelli-------------------

Bring on Super sub Dzeko for the last 15 if we need a last minute winner.

I'd be tempted to rest the likes of Yaya, Nasri and Tevez for this. We can't afford another lethargic display like we saw against Swansea when we play Tottenham this coming weekend.

Re: Ajax

I hope so!!!

We are slowly coming back to our form of last season!

Nasri is amazing in the central midfield role, Silva back early would be nice but the guys will have to play their best for pride's sake if we no longer have a chance.

Tevez should start IMO, Dzeko bench! ( I get the feeling Mancini only kept on Dzeko for the whole 90 min to drop him Tuesday and make him feel like he not the super sub. More to do with sentiment rather than logic as there was no real play from the wing to utilise his airial threat and no Kolarov introduction and the sinclair on so late was baffling a bit...)

Kompany and nastastic in defence.

Upwards and onwards ^_^

One more thing I was impressd with the perfomance yesterday, fighing for every ball and the fluidty of our game is back.

I have not seen him have 1 amazing game for city yet..Please advise me where he has been amazing in midfield.
