CITY v Newcastle Utd - Official Match Thread

But that will force Barry/Yaya to be far more defensive than in our current system, so you can't say that it is more "positive" than this so-called "negative" side.

In this system, we will dominate the midfield and that's the crucial part of the game. We will win this. Stay positive!!!

I am positive and we will win no doubt. Just don't see why we have to play that team at home to newcastle

Because we want to dominate the middle (dominate the middle and we dominate the game!) and give Barry and Yaya the freedom to roam forward! Stay positive!!

Why doesn't Roberto play Ade from the start, other teams would give an arm and a leg for Ade, and Roberto is not interested

So you would swap 1 player. Silva and Tevez already named. Ok.

It's cos De Jong is playing.. :)

No equally I shoudl have said Barry or De Jong

But I just prefer Barry

Perhaps because he thinks Tevez won't be as effective on the right forward position and he doesn't think Lescott is up for an attacking full back role in a diamond system.

I would much rather have Barry hold (which he does anyway), and have Milner making the forward runs.

But atm, Milner is becoming our Dirt Kuyt rather than our Frank Lampard with the way he is being used.

Yes you r but its wrong. that is my opinion.

It is the most negative team we could have fielded.

No it isn't. We could have put Vieira on in place of Milner.

Tevez was really poor on the left side on thursday wan't he.

Entitled to your opinion but I dont think we will ever agree. Control the centre of the park and win the game. Yaya, Milner and Barry are all well capable of switching from defence to attack.

I should have refrased the most negative team in our current system.

The only way it could be more negative if we played Barry left side and Milner right side of the front three.
