City v Napoli Pre Match Discussion Thread

[csit17]

first ever Champions League game, lets make a statement

Hart

Richards
Kompany
Lescott
Clichy

Yaya

Balotelli
Silva
Tevez
Nasri

Dzeko

I know this team is highly unlikely but would love to see it

Also is it time for a different twist on the Poznan, time to face towards the pitch because I for 1 dont wanna miss a kick but wanna see the Etihad bouncing

Mancini will select the strongest team available to him , that is for sure

-----------------Hart----------------------
Richards----Kompany--Lescott------Clichy
------------Yaya------NDJ---------------
Silva------------Aguero------------Nasri
-----------------Dzeko-----------------

That team is possibly our strongest team and if we play how we have done so far this season , then I think we will win comfortably . Napoli are a strong team but I feel the home advantage will see us through this game and eventually through the group . If we are on form , we should win , but we have to be aware of what they can do . We haven't played anyone like this recently , ans it will be a challenge , but they have only played one game so far this year , where as we have played 5 .

3-1 City , Dzeko , Aguero and Nasri

Hart

Richards
Kompany
Lescott
Clichy

Yaya
Barry (If fit)

Silva
Nasri
Aguero

Dzeko


If Barry is unfit then Milner, if Milner is unfit then Zab.

Tevez will get some sort of game time, imo he shouldn't be playing from the start though.

I agree with the above.

^^ Balotelli is suspended for 3 games.

Do you have a link to confirm that Mario has a 3 match ban. According to the CL Regulations:

As a rule, a player who is sent off the field of play is suspended for the next
match in a UEFA club competition. The Control and Disciplinary Body is
entitled to augment this punishment. For serious offences the punishment
can be extended to all UEFA competition categories.

This will be a tough game IMO. They are a decent side. I can't wait for it though, I think it will be a great game. Hopefully we will edge it.
