CITY v Villa - Official Match Thread.

Fuck! got a fiver on Tevez 3-1.

Tevez isn't playing. :(

Hart, Richards, Zaba, Lescott, Kompany, de Jong, Vieira, Yaya Toure, Johnson, Silva, Balotelli

I hope this pays off as that lineup scares me slightly.

I'd say it's weaker than normal, but its still an extremely good side, nothing for us to be scared of.

I just hope that Balo can really get into the game, if he can, it should be a comfortable win. If he's playing on the periphery it's going to be quite difficult without having a real focal point like Tevez in attack.

Is Tevez on the bench?

 

[Blue Smarties]

Tevez on bench. Good team imo.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

good side, should be more than enough to take Villa a part. Always exciting to see Balo play too. Glad AJ starts.

Tevez tight hamstring, not sure why Viera starting tho. Does worry me that one, Barry been top form recently.

My pre-match optimism has somewhat evaporated. Vieira, AJ and Balotelli playing instead of Barry, Milner and Tevez is a huge gamble. If we were playing a Top Four team next weekend I would agree, but we are only entertaining Blackpool for goodness sake.

I hate squad rotation :(
