Re: City v United FA Cup Thread
Please NO one-striker formation....ever again :-)
Seriously - I've learned this season that we struggle mightily with one striker up front (pick any game we played in that formation).
Part of the reason is that none of our three strikers are excelling in that role, they are all better when partnered up with someone.
This will completely misread - but Tevez WAS our best lone-striker in a long time. We have to play with TWO. We have to. It's more fun to watch anyway :-)
GerBlueBear said:Anyone else feeling that with Yaya gone & Barry suspended that Zabaleta could step in to midfield?
He could provide extra defensive support with De Jong which would allow Milner to push forward and the full backs to create plenty of width. They could form a midfield 3 with an attacking trio picked from the following 5 - Aguero/Dzeko/Silva/Nasri/AJ
If I had to choose....
--------------Hart
Richards-Kompany-Lescott-Kolarov
-----Zabaleta------DeJong
--------------Milner
Silva--------Aguero------Nasri

Weird question no one in their right mind would want a draw and an extra game. Maybe if it was at OT but it's not.

I prefer our pace with Clichy, but didn't we beat United in the semi final at Wembley with Kolarov?

Why some of you are 'resting' Clichy is beyond me?? Kolarov should be no where near the first team in a game of this magnitude.

No I don't want a draw for obvious reasons of fixture congestion.
But if we're 1-0 down and pushing on in the last few minutes, be sure I'll be roaring us on to equalise.

Re: Would you take a draw on Sunday?
All of you saying no would presumably be happy if with the game meandering to a 0-0 draw the rags score an injury time winner.
Hurrah no replay, well played Wayne, great goal.

Re: City v United FA Cup Thread
Neither team is at full strength, it's interesting that it would be a derby when we first see a world without Yaya.
Both Dzeko and Aguero will need to play I believe, i've never felt we've done well with only one striker.
