Re: Dzeko Not Going To Greece

I thought Dzeko was short of match fitness? Why's he not there?

He is.

Who is this Cheesman fella anyway?

And I wouldn't be worried if I were you about the match against Aris. Yes, the atmosphere is somehow similar to hell, but City is much,much stronger club, with way better individuals and therefore will win. I'm sure of it.

hi guys

Aris is the absolute underdog here but hey, it is the games with big
opponents that make you stronger;)
So we're looking forward to this clash even though we're not doing
well in our domestic league, it's a transitional period after coach
Hector Cuper resigned a few weeks ago.

These are the home results of Aris in European Cups;
last loss from back-then hungarian giants Ujpest in Sep.1968

Re: Dzeko Not Going To Greece

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has named a strong squad for the Europa League match against Aris Salonika in Greece on Tuesday.

Leading scorer Carlos Tevez is included even though he has rarely featured in the competition this season, as is Mario Balotelli following a knee problem.

Midfielder Michael Johnson has received a boost after his injury problems by joining the group. And Edin Dzeko was with the group that flew out to Greece despite reports he would miss the game.

However James Milner is ruled out of the first leg game after being injured in the 2-1 defeat by Manchester United and Nigel de Jong is absent because of an ankle problem.

Re: Dzeko Not Going To Greece

Aris beating Ipswich 3-1 in 1981 was a good result - Ipswich were the best team in England at the time.
