City v United |Carling Cup | 19th Jan |Match Day thread

[Aussie!]

Okay, this is going to be one hell of a match.

This time the game is on OUR turf.

Toure and Adebayor will still be absent in the African Cup of Nations (they could be gone up until 31st January if they respectively make it to the finals)

Mancini: I think he has passed one of the indicators of his credibility of his City career by keeping all his games with clean sheets/ and defeating lower tiered teams; something which Hughes did not achieve or at least consistently.

This game, i believe is his next test, beating a Top 4' team. If Mancini achieves this, then we will genuinely be competing for a top 4 spot, and perhaps even the title with Chelsea's and United's inconsistent results.



Edit: Toure and Ade might be back in time if they don't make it past group stages. both togo and I.C are in same group i'm led to believe

SWP? or Academy,
Weiss,

Ball or other academy,
Robinho.


This is obviously the formaion we should stick with as both matches under Mancini have started 4-4-2 and when they change to 4-3-3 we start scoring and defending better.

I would be tempted to take a risk and start Robinho against the scum, especially in s Semi final, as I think that he would come alive in big matches like this, but it would be a big risk in playing him.

Robinho must be a bit pissed off, all these players injured and its Garrido getting match time!

To give credit to him though, he did come on last night and set up the icing on the cake goal...

Correct and agree with everything Aussie!
Especially about Mancini, he's settled in really well.
