City Vs Wigan Pre match Discussion Thread

Final rehearsal, go out and scare them.

Maicon/Richards, Joleon, Kolarov, Dzeko, maybe Sinclair to start

Hart
Maicon Kompany Lescott Kolarov
Milner Yaya
Silva Tevez Sinclair/Nasri
Dzeko

It shouldn't be much of a problem since it's home. 3 points necessary here. I'd like to see Silva,Rodwell and Micah back for this. All in all we should pick a win here!

This could be our first non-sell out (tickets sold, not bums in seats) in the league for a very, very long time. Still a fair few seats on the planner, mostly at the back of level 3 and in the South Stand second tier where most away sides aren't taking the extra allocation anymore.

Guidetti possibly on the bench for this?

Hart

Richards/Zaba
Kompany
Lescott
Kolarov

Garcia
Rodwell

Yaya

Sinclair
Dzeko
Nasri

Should be enough to get past Wigan, rest Tevez and Aguero for the tough game on Sunday.

I'd certainly bring a couple of youngsters off the bench for this one.

I think we need to make 11 changes as they were out on their feet yesterday.

Struggling to put a team together but maybe:

Hart
Micah
Kolo
Lescott
Kolarov

Garcia
Razak
Rodwell

Silva(if fit, if not, Maicon, Guidetti, Marcos Lopes?)
Sinclair
Dzeko

Struggling really but I think the regulars need a rest regardless of if we end up not winning the game. I'd rather lose this game than the cup final.

Maybe you play 3 at the back like this:

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

----------Micah-----Kolo-----JoLe-------------

Maicon-------------------------------------AK

--------------------Garcia---------------------

-------------Rodwell------Razak---------------

--------------------Sinclair--------------------

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

Obviously if Silva can make it give him an hour in a 4-3-3 or in that formation drop Razak and stick Sinclair wide.

Either way I think it will be a tough game as Wigan will be buoyant and fighting for survival whilst we'll be playing the B team if we're sensible.

A song for Thatcher? The Dippers had some good ones this weekend... I suggest a conga around the ground.

Full strength out where possible. Need to pick up 3 points in these games to give us breathing space for both Spurs and the match right before the final where players will invariably pussy around not wanting to get injured. Still need second and smallest points gap possible!

But we don't want to risk injury and/or allow Wigan the chance to work out how to overcome our passing game. We should play Kolorov, Kolo Toure, Lescott, Rodwell, Garcia and Dzeko against Wigan. We will need Clichy, Kompany, Nasty, Barry, Yaya and Aguero against Tottenham next weekend. Silva needs another few days of rest and recuperation.
