Poor fellow, what a complete disaster for a very first post.
Nedum is out injured and Robbie will play in place of SWP.
Also, reflecting Poke City's height, VK is bound to start.
Back to the drawing board, mate.

Maybe shouldn't fit players to make a formation but if Barry plays at left back it removes Bobbies problem of upsetting so many of the Forwards apart from RSC (Im assuming he will be left out and come on as an impact sub)

Barry although not the best in the air (Stokes biggest threat) is better IMO than Sylvinho and Garrido and there is not a huge difference between the pace of the three of them.
I know we should play to our strengths and dominate the game but their threat has to be addressed also and although i hope Bobby is right about Shay coming for the throws I think it's not quite as easy as that!

Focus, anticipation, bravery and determination will be important factors and we need to ensure we show more of these atrtributes than Stoke

He could play Richards at left back but I don't see that happening
I hope we keep it on the deck and play it into feet - spank their asses
One thing is for sure I can't wait for Boxing day

Have we got a song for Bobby Manc sorted out yet?

without swp this is the best team we can play today.

Whatever players/formation Bob decides to use,I hope he realises the best way to beat sides like Stoke is to play football on the deck.Anyone who suggests Robbie shouldn't play must be mad.He destroyed them last time,plus he'd like to show a decent manager what he is capable of.We can't out-muscle Stoke,but with our players,we can out-class and humiliate them.

Fully agree mate Robinho will make all these city fans who want shut of him eat there words it was there for anyone to see he didn't get on with Mark Hughes if he returns to lasy years form WOW we are in for a treat Mancini will play attacking football this will suit Robbie lets hope he can get another Hatrick against Stoke 4-0 city :)
TBF he doesn't get on with any manager.
But i'll go with the hatrick-thing.

la la la la, la la la la whey hey----ey roberto mancini ( this song should never be used...I thank you )
 
Have to wonder how Mancini will play Robinho

------------Given--------------
Richards Toure Kompany Sylvinho
--------NDJ-----Barry----------
-----------Ireland--------------
Tevez-------RSC---------Robinho

I reckon Robinho is going to start over Bellamy, Mancini really wants to see what he can do and itll be interesting to see how Robinho plays under him. Crunch time for Robbie. Probably see Bellamy and Petrov on towards the end. Petrov on the left, Bellamy in the middle.
