City v Napoli Pre Match Discussion Thread

[The game 161]

Any injury news on Barry and Milner?

 

[Aequitas1987]

As a Bayern fan I am obviously hoping for a draw but I see it being a high scoring draw if it goes to that.

2-2 (Dzeko Brace)

Most realistic situation is
2-1 win for City
or
3-2 win for City

It will be a freaking exciting game.

In the end it all depends on what Mancini's objective is against Napoli if he goes all out attack like you guys are talking about it could very well be an exciting back and forth game but if plays with two CDM's I see City winning 2-0 or 3-0. The reason for that is that City has the talent to cut their defense up in the final third of the pitch while controlling the midfield with Toure/Barry or Toure/Milner etc.

subs- Pantilimon, Savic, Clichy, Zabaleta, Johnson, Silva, Tevez

width coming from Kolarov and Richards

I'm not one to slate peoples opinions or predictions...

But Silva on the bench???? No chance!

Handbrake off

..................Hart
Richards...Kompany...Lescott..Clichy
..................Yaya
Aguero......Nasri......Silva
....................Tevez
...............Dzeko

Handbrake on

..................Hart
Richards...Kompany...Lescott..Clichy
........Zab ....Yaya..Kolorov
........Silva....Dzeko...Aguero

Both teams are based on Barry, NDJ, and Milner not being available.

Prefer handbrake off but can see the handbrake being on.

Why handbrake on - we need 3 points from home games, win at home, draw away is the minimum Bob will aim for.

Barry will play and Tevez wont. It was clear to me on saturday that Tev stifles Aguero - Dzeko is a much better partner, esp with Nasri behind. Tev may come on as a replacement for Aguero if its not working, and is more likely to play away from home, as he can probably hold the ball up better, Aguero being more direct.

Good evening,

The only thing I can say is that I remember 1968 and expect a better effort made this time.

[afro2007]

the days of fear is over now is the rein of winning as citizens,now we need to inject a winning spirit to the team to overcome all these unscrupulous Napoli to where they came from.i really need kolo back with kompany cause Lescott is not good for such games.



3-1 is my prediction.win for us.
