City Vs Chelsea Pre Match Discussion Thread

That could be a 5-3-2 with Milner and Clichy as wingbacks, a 4-3-2-1 with a midfield three of Milner, Rodwell and Garcia, a 4-2-2-2 with a midfield partnership of Garcia and Rodwell (yikes!) with Silva in the false 9 position...

Our central midfield options are so so poor. People can talk all day about Cavani/Falcao but the first thing that needs addressing is that bang average midfield. Don't like that team whatsoever.

Looks like Garcia and Rodwell sitting in front of the back four, with Yaya through the middle, and Silva and Milner to either side - strong side, but we could have used Tevez's industry in there - I have concerns that that team has enough energy to counter Chelsea.

Big test for Rodwell - will be interesting to see how he takes to it!

No Tevez?

Along with Lescott, being told in no uncertain terms his future lies elsewhere.

Going be a hell of a summer clearance.

Is Barry injured as well Vinnie?

You forgot to mention the most obvious one; 4-2-3-1. :-)

At least Rodwell gives us a bit of mobility in the midfield.

Provided his leg doesn't fall off.

4-2-3-1 with Garcia and Rodwell sitting with Silva(left) Toure' (centre) and Milner (right) Aguero as lone striker, let's hope it works today.

That lineup was unpredictable. I didn't think Garcia would be picked because of his lack of mobility and his capacity to match up to their speedy, mobile little players. Oh well fingers crossed.

I guess we'll see if he has what it takes today......certainly has hils work cut out.

I guess Barry's injured. Good to see Rodwell back in.
