City v QPR (pre-match discussion)

[Marvin]

Sep 1st, Sat 5.30pm, ESPN

Ref: Chris Foy
Sold Out, but QPR have whole away end (Upper and Lower). Still on general sale

Suspended: Barton!
QPR injury doubts: Zamora (head wound) but hne played with a bandaged head in League Cup so should be OK
SWP and Onouha possibles, and 2 ex-utd players could play

Julio Cesar may sign by Saturday in which case Rob Green will probably be dropped.

QPR play Walsall in the League Cup tonight, but their last League game at Norwich is probably a better guide to their team

--------------------Rob Green
Armand Traore-Anton Ferdinand-Clint Hill-Fabio Da Silva
Ji-Sung Park-Jamie Mackie-David Hoilett-Samba Diakite
---------- Bobby Zamora---Djibrill Cisse-------------

I think they played a 442 at Norwich, but they could well have some special measures lined up for us. Bosingwa played in the League Cup

QPR fans can be sure of a warm welcome from City fans after their reactions at full-time last season. City v QPR will forever be associated with that game, but that's in the history books now, and this game is about writing new history.

Difficult to predict City's team after the much changed team at Liverpool.

-----------------Hart
------Zabaleta---Kompany---Clichy
----------------Barry-------------
--Silva---Yaya----Nasri-----Kolarov
----------------Tevez
----------------Dzeko

I have put Kolarov in the team as I like Dzeko and Kolarov together.

Prediction: City 3-0 QPR

But after the last two home games, no one will take anything for granted

Interesting game this to come after the Liverpool one. On paper, should be an easy win (we thought that in May) as they have lnew players trying to bed in. But Hughes is desperate fora result and more so cos its us. We should bag a few, but as we've leaked 4 in two games we might have to. 3-1 to us.

Hart

Zaba Kompany Lescott Clichy

De Jong Rodwell

Yaya

Silva Tevez Nasri

I would give this system a chance on Saturday.

Zaba-Kompany-Lescott-Clichy
De Jong-Rodwell
Silva-Yaya-Nasri
Tevez

4-2-3-1 worked well for us last season with Aguero up front and Tavez sitting behind but I think this will work... I wouldnt be suprised if Mancini goes for the 3-5-2 again.

 

[Tevez City]

Please, no more 3-5-2


And Dzeko should start.

What was wrong with Clichy last game? He wasnt even on the bench!

His wife had just given birth to their first born apparently, I would have thought he'd be available again this weekend.
