City Vs Leeds (Fa Cup) Pre match discussion thread

[Tourist since 1971]

I think all this 'I'll drop them all if they play like that' malarkey is all just flannel.

Most of the changes people are talking about would have happened anyway regardless of the performance at Southampton - Panti would have played, probably 1 or 2 from Kompany/Nasty/Kolo, probably Milner & Tevez in. He has just used the opportunity of the cup game to make a point with the outburst.

[BandwagonJumper]

Seriously, what chance does Guidetti have of getting a look in for this one?

none still out recovering from virus/injury.

We don't need an extra fixture. I expect us to respond well in what has been an awful couple of weeks for the club. Leeds will give it a go though and it won't that easy.

 

[Matt the Giant]

Let's rest a few players and give more game time to others:

Pantilimon

Maicon
Kompany
Nastasic
Kolarov

Milner
Rodwell

Nasri

Sinclair
Aguero
Silva

Got to agree with everyone saying Milner and Rodwell in midfield. I've been thinking the same for a couple of weeks and it was cemented after the midfield's performance at Southampton.<br /><br />-- Wed Feb 13, 2013 10:36 am --<br /><br />

Seriously, what chance does Guidetti have of getting a look in for this one?

He's been suffering with quite a severe virus over the Winter. Doube he'll be ready 'til Spring.

 

[paphos-mcfc]

I think Leeds will be well up for this and will give us a good game. We need to win if only for the moral boost.

He was training with the first team on Inside City 62 last week. Can he really not manage 10-15 minutes off the bench if necessary or if (by a miracle) the game is already sewn up ?

 

[Tellison87MCFC]

been thinking alot about the 'new' lineup

---------- panti ----------

maicon---- zaba ---- kolo---- clichy

milner ---- yaya ---- rodwell

silva/lopez -- Sinclair

Tevez

Bench: Suarez, Garcia, Guidetti, Barry, Hart, lescott

No Sergio? Not even on the bench? Am I missing something here or are you on drugs?

 

[King Of All Geordies]

I wouldn't be suprised to see us go 3 at the back for this one with a well earned rest for Zabaleta

 

[omcfc]

I don't anticipate an easy tie at all, but having said that I'd love to be proven completely wrong. 2-0 at HT would be nice. Then get Guidetti on for the second half. There can be no doubt he would be up for it 100%.

 

[BlueTony84]

Would give this a go -

Hart

Zaba
Kompany
Nastasic
Clichy

Milner
Rodwell

Yaya

Sinclair
Aguero
Silva

I'd be happy with that, I think its a really good shout, I think it gives up what we have been missing, I would have edin on the bench though as he does score goals and offers a different threat, have guidetti on the bench as well and if we are 3 or so up give him 20 minutes or so. Looks a strong 11 though mate!

I'd like to see this team but Yaya in the middle with Rodwell, Milner out on the right and Sinclair on the left. Silva advanced through the middle and Sergio up top

I think Sinclair definitely deserves a full 90 minutes. Got a lot of pace and skill and could prove a great asset, particularly on the counter attack. Plus I'm confident he will have a point to prove and put in a good shift, unlike that tosser Nasri.
