CITY v Newcastle Utd - Official Match Thread

[Small Mentality]

Not a pushover today but certainly expect City to win, so maybe 2-0 or 3-1. Would be great to keep another clean sheet. The issues are going to be tiredness from the midweek game, defensive injuries and how attack-minded RM is prepared to be with his line-up!

Would like to see JB play a blinder but lose 2-1.Goals to City from Tevez and Silva. That result would square things with JB and Newcastle.

Dont think the toons will come to defend so should be a good game.

we just need to keep an eye on Carrol and Ben arfa.

I'm going to the game now, so I'm going to leave by saying that I hope we trounce this lot by plenty, but I'm expecting a 1-1.

yes i agree, i think once he is back on form, he will be deadly. he also helps tevez and silva out by keeping the CB's busy

Carroll dropped apparently. Unconfirmed rumour from Collymore

Strange if true. Their top scorer and would be handful for toure and vinny due to his height...

Looks like they are going to park the bus in front of the goalline then.

Confirmed team:

Hart, Boateng, Kompany, Toure, Lescott, de Jong, Barry, Yaya, Milner, Silva, Tevez.
