........Silva........Yaya.............Sinclair
..........................Tevez....................

Must have got that from the BBC who made the same mistake.

We owe this lot they took 4 points from us last year. Come on Blues let's rip them a new one, I think/hope we will win 2-0.

It was five points...

 

[Tevez City]

........................Hart.......................
...Maicon......Komps....Nasty......Clichy
.............Barry...........Nasri.................
........Silva........Mario.............Sinclair
..........................Tevez....................

Think Rodwell will play and I imagine Kolarov will cement AJ in the opening exchanges. Would like to see Maicon play, as we've not seen him at home and he could cause them problems.

This! Yes. I would have 2 forwards in, and take Sinclair out, though. Tevez, Aguero, or Balotelli could all play 'wide.'

But I love the idea of Nasri next to Barry with Yaya further forward. If we want Yaya to have impact while playing further up the pitch then we need a deep-lying playmaker. Nasri is great in possession, and can pick a pass for sure.

I still find it difficult to believe we lost on Wearside too. :-)

Bit of reading while we're waiting - nice interview with Clichy: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/oct/05/gael-clichy-manchester-city-arsenal" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012 ... ty-arsenal</a>

He may also cause us a couple.

I couldn't sleep so I'm up early (which I hate). We owe a team a hiding and I hope that hiding comes today as the team really need a convincing win to get the confidence back. Will be setting off for the game at about 12. 15 so good luck to the match day thread mod.
