CITY v Bolton - Official Matchday Thread

[Gelsons Dad]

1 - 0 is a win

3 - 3 is a draw

1 - 0 is good for an afternoon nap.

3 - 3 makes it worth watching for 90+ minutes.

I would take playing pretty like Arsenal and have to settle for 3rd this year.

settle for 3rd? we need to win games to get 4th mate.

Very disappointed with that line up.
This gave Mancini the chance to show he has got the balls to have a go at teams instead of sitting back in a 7 man defence and inviting the opposition on for 90 mins.

Still think we'll win (its Bolton at home ffs) but dont expect much more excitement than recent games.

Not happy Bob, lets hope you have a plan up your sleeve.

Oh dear! 3 defensive midfielders at home to.......BOLTON!! I hope this is a stroke of genius by Mancini otherwise the fans will go ballistic. Three defensive midfielders at home is exactly what we didn`t want to see.

Anyway.........COME ON YOU BLUES!!

Very disappointed with that lineup. Hopefully Vieira impresses because I do not expect much from Barry or De Jong (going forward at least).

 

[Keith Moon]

Don't forget that Vieria actually can pass the ball.

He seems to changes things around quick tatics wise so it wouldn't surprise me if 1 of those 3 defensive midfielders get taken off before half time if we cant break them down or if they go into the lead..

 

[PoolHustler]

Can't believe Petrov's not playing, the team looks lopsided to me with Johnson being our only out & out winger. He'll probably play Barry on the left, but what good is he out there??? my fcuking grandmother is quicker then him!

But why wait to see if we go behind or cant break them down.

 

[hilts]

if he plays 442

johnson viera de jong barry

ade tevez

this looks more balanced and attacking with barry and johnson supplying crosses and only de jong with defensive duities, viera pullin strings and tevez in free role

Meaning he might have got it wrong again and need to make early changes?
