City Vs Roma Pre Match Thread

[sh249]

Obviously going to be a tough game. I'm expecting us to go something like:

----------------------Hart---------------------------
Zaba--Kompany--Demichelis--Kolarov
---------------Yaya--Fernandinho----------
-----Silva----------------------------Milner----
----------------Aguero----Dzeko---------------

Not going to happen, but I would like us to try:

----------------------Hart---------------------
Zaba--Kompany--Mangala--Kolarov
----------------------Yaya-------------------
----Fernandinho-----------Milner----
-----------------------Silva-----------------
-----------------Aguero----Dzeko-------

Its not being arrogant the only team we have played at home and not played 4-4-2 is barca thats are formation it might also go in as a diamond gjving us extra bodies in midfield silva will have a free role and milner will join yaya and fern in the middle when we are not in possession of the ball we will play a high line and press the ball all over the pitch as we always do to our strengths! A lot of city fans expect a comfortable vicorty because we are champions of england with a lot of world class players not to disrespect roma its just somthing we expect every game now not just this one. Here's to a great game!

I'd settle for 1-0 scrappy win. No way we will stuff them.

Anyway my team to face Roma would be..JH..VK..MD..AK...FER..YT..JM.....JN...DS...ED/SA..Come on City...

I wouldn't prefer that team at all. Pretty sure we'd lose if we were to start with only ten players.

Lolz..ma bad..how could i forget zaba..

Yet another Roma fan who just registered on your forum to comment!

For tomorrow i'm all pumped up , and i'm sure that Roma CAN win vs City; of course that would be an huge upset since City are favorites by a countrymile , but anything can happen.

As it has been pointed out earlier in this thread , i think that playing a 4-4-2 vs Roma would be a suicide , our football style is primarily a possession based style with 3 midfielders rotating all the time , so having only 2 of your guys there would lose you the midfield battle , and you don't want that to happen.

All in all , we're not the classic "park the bus" italian team , it's gonna be a fun to watch , whatever the score ends up being.

There's a lot more to football than formations . If we defend high up the pitch and are super aggressive and remain compact there will be no space for Roma to breathe.

First, fuck united :)

But i just want to say this would be best for Roma tonight for man city to be arrogant and underrate their strength. If you play a high aggressive 4-4-2 line up I will be confident Roma get an early lead and then anything can happen but city can lose their way.

Roma love to stay compact, are great at quick tight passing and then with a high line and Totti he can find all angles for Gervinho. If Totti and destroy start together another Roma fan thinks that would be good. Yes good for city, they do not really function in a 4-3-3 as it lacks clear vision. Roma have the advantage of two attacking set up, the false 9 and a pure CF like Destro so we have many injuries but are still very dangerous.

I hope the fans can remain calm and a good game awaits

Forza Roma

the most important thing is the players will not be underestimating roma

Some of you guys still don't get it. What's all this 4-0/ 5-0/ 6-0 to City business? Roma will not get destroyed trust me on this one. If City do win it will be a hard-fought grind with only one goal being the difference.

I have posted here before, I am a Bosnian who follows all our international players in their respective leagues and I am quite familiar with both Roma and City, I know their strengths and weaknesses and to those insular City fans I say be prepared for a big shock if you think this will be a walk in the park. I even suggested you drop Dzeko and just play Sergio as a lone striker, because you cannot let Roma control possession and midfield. Roma are no typical Italian side, these boys can play football, they can generate quick and dynamic attacks and if Pjanic is on form (and he usually is) Roma will beat City.

I have to disagree with you on this my friend. Roma are a good side there is no doubt. But on our day we are better. I believe we are one of the top five teams in Europe. I think Roma are just in the top ten Imo. I understand and know anything can happen in football. But I see a Home win here. 4-1 4-0. But good luck.

"If Pjanic is on form Roma will beat City"

What a load of shit.

A lot of that is just wuming. I put 6-1 on here, but I absolutely don't expect the score to be anything like that, I was just pissing around. I'm sure most Blues are expecting a close game, and for it to be decided by one goal either way.
