City v Napoli Pre Match Discussion Thread

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

Mancini continues to rotate the fullbacks. If it works he is a genius. Bench?

Thank God Kolarov is playing! Me thinks he scores a screamer today

Here's the #MCFC team to play #Napoli: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, Yaya, Barry, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko

Best. 11.

Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, Yaya, Barry, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko

Apart from fullbacks (especially Richards) - this is the TOP SIDE CITY HAS TO OFFER AT THIS POINT.

Freaking love it.

You could debate Clichy/Kolarov and De Jong/Barry (Richards over Zab is a given) - other than that this is a top, top team really.

It's all about defense tonight... they should stop impressive Napoli's attack line as strikers should not have problems with Napoli's defense.

CVan't see how could Napoli be available to make any upset tonight, with all due respect, they're much weaker team.

Ray Wilkins got a Ticket

Zabaleta and Kolarov aren't as attacking as Richards and Clichy imo, a sign of the handbrake?

 

[zeven]

That is a very very good team!

Hope kolorov and zableta can keep up with their pacy attack though.

In general, Kolarov is much more attacking than Clichy.

I thought Kolarov would be starting after seeing him alongside Mancini at the pre-match press conference yesterday.

The formation we play forces the fullbacks to do more work than anyone on the pitch. Rotation is key.
