City v Arsenal pre-match discussion thread.

[Blue Elmo]

Arsenal have been on a run, but it is time they are put down a notch or two. They are nowhere near the side they used to be, but they are still decent.

------------------------Hart---------------------------
Richards---------Vinnie K------Lescott---------Zabaleta
-------------------Yaya------Barry--------------------
Silva-------------------Aguero-------------------Nasri
-----------------------Balotelli-----------------------

That is the team I rate would start, but considering they have no recognised full backs in the team and due to his good form of late, I would not be surprised to see AJ start.

Tough game, but we're at home and we are going to bounce back

3-1 City , Nasri, Aguero, Balotelli

I think AJ should start this game!

I really hope Mancini plays Dzeko and he returns the favor with a brace at least...I read those comments on arsenal forum about mertesacker handling dzeko with ease...I bet none of them have seen their previous encounters in the bundesliga...per is sluggish...even dzeko gets out of the blocks faster than him...I think he would easily get a brace...

Mario (with boxing gloves) and Edin to start. Bench Kun. Rest Yaya. Start AJ.

Attack, Attack, Attack. Vince man-marks RVP, DeJong man-marks Arteta.

Done!

4:2 City.

(such an easy game this football)

Out of what you wrote there - the boxing gloves is the most likely.

Team will be:

............................Hart...............................
Richards.......Kompany.......Lescott........Zaba
...................Yaya.............Barry...................
Aguero...............Silva...............Nasri..........
.........................Dzeko...............................

Very difficult match to predict. We need to win so I suspect we'll come flying out of the traps. Arsenal will be bang up for it though and we'll have to be careful of Walcott's pace and RVP's class. Yaya and Barry will need to negate Song and Arteta.

Song is good but he will have much to do with Silva, Nasri, Yaya as Arteta doesn't provide that much cover while defending....this one should be like tottenham if dzeko plays...just get the ball into the box....

think its gona be a goal fest tbh, our defence is back to its old tricks, gunners defence isnt too good either, VP is the danger man, hes on fire, can see a 4-3, but 3 points is more important than the performance

Fuck no
