City Vs Porto Pre Match Discussion Thread

[Billy Spurdle]

We play Blackburn 3 days afterwards so with that in mind I'd go for the following squad with a strong bench.

Do you reckon this team would be strong enough?

_________________Hart______________
Zabaleta_____Toure____Kompany_____Kolarov
____________De Jong____Barry________
___Johnson________Nasri________Milner____
_________________Mario_________

Bench: Panti, Lescott, Richards, YaYa, Silva, Aguerro, Dzeko

Starting line up for Blackburn (1 week rest after)

_________________Hart______________
Richards_____Toure____Kompany_____Clichy
____________Ya Ya____Barry________
_________Nasri___Aguerro______Silva___
_________________Dzeko_________

What's Joleon ever done to you?? Should be one of the first names on the teamsheet for league games...

sorry Lescott should have been in strongest squad for Blackburn, that was what I meant to have! I think he is awesome and a menace when attacking set pieces

 

[r.soleofsalford]

2-0 to City. Hoping for a slightly weaker set-up.

Hart; Zabaleta, Kompany, Savic, Kolarov; de Jong, Yaya, Barry; Silva, Dzeko, Johnson

Or something similar.

i dont think savic`s confidence is ready for a hulk attack just yet

 

[Airbags Optional]

Gutted I will miss this as I have to be in Hemel and will be travelling back.

I would go for a similar team to the one we played last week, maybe pizarro for gaz baz for a rest and milner for nasri.

 

[Jumanji]

Zabaleta. Kompany. Touré. Kolarov.
Barry. Touré.
Balo. Nasri. Milner.
Dzeko.

---------------Hart-------------

Zab---Toure---Kompany---Kolarov

---------De Jong-----Pizarro-----

---Milner-------------Johnson/Nasri

--------------Kun---------------

-------------Dzeko-------------

Dzeko did not play last week, Sergio only played last 10 mins. Pizarro will have his first full game as a City player and the fullbacks will be rotated once more.

Silva wont play with a league game on Saturday, Nasri might do but I think we will see Johnson and Milner on the wings on Wednesday as they did not play last week.

Kolo toure will probably appear and give either Kompany or Lescott a rest for weekend.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Same,or very similar,again or run the risk of going out.

Richards--Komps--Lescott--Clichy
-------Barry---DJ-----
---Milner---Yaya---Silva--
---------Aguero---------

 

[Rammyblues]

Seems David Platt has indicated team will be rotated. When that has been said before Silva and Yaya have still started So I would think

Hart
Zab

Toure
Komps
Kolorov

NDJ
Milner
Yaya

AJ
Balo
Silva


After 60 0r 70 mins let Pizarro come on for Yaya
Bring Aguero on for AJ
Bring Nasri on for Silva.

 

[Robert Jordan]

I think we should take it one match at the time, so I would sugest to play the same team, maybe add Pizarro to the mix. I hope at least the defense stays the same, because they will atack us in waves, but if we catch them on the counter, that will be a good thing, because they have to open up and they have weak defense anyway.
