Re: Nani reportedly hurt his ankle in training and Evans a doubt

it's pretty bad when we're saying: hope they play nani, and not the guy who dives.

not saying much for the 'other guy'

Micah told some fans in inside city that "we're going to go all out attacking....we're going to go for it."

I think most of us expected this, but still... :)

2 and a half more sleeps blues!!!!
This is unbearable, feel confident one minute, and nervous beyond belief the next.
Yaya and richards to start, and a high tempo from the off. No silly challenges, or reactions to niggly challenges. Patience will be required on and off the pitch.
Slur Alex is the master of the counter attack and sucker punch goal, so we need everybody to be on form and focussed.

heart says 4-1 goal fest

head says 2-1 tevez, and yaya with a late rag goal and propper nail biting finish!

I would save Silva as a second half subsitute. The lad's bang out of form. His final pass just isn't there anymore.

Nasri is simply in much better form than him.

And yes, Barry in left midfield :).

He's back in form and critical.

Mancini played another binder by throwing Mario's name into the hat and reminding the scum that he stroked 2 past them in the 6 (six) 1

Didn't Mr.Dzeko also do the same?

I think I'll go and stick my mortgage on him playing on Monday night.

Served on a plate courtesy of Dave. Mario created the 6-1 if you don't quite remember. Causing the penalty and scoring with 22 men on the field.

Big striker against the rags, cue Mario return?

he doesn't say he definitely will, but I remember after the Man U Everton game, one of the pundits highlighted how Fellaini, a big striker was bullying Evans and Ferdinand throughout the game, this being one of the main reasons they salvaged an unbelievable point.

Would Bobby try the same with Balotelli?(even though Dzeko is our biggest striker, but Id bet my house Mancini doesnt start Edin!) Wouldn't the rags would target Balo if we started him?

In my opinion, I would keep Kun and Carlitos up top.

What would you do?
