Re: City v United pre match thread
Based on your idiotic assessment no one would do anything. Football is a physical game. Silva could have dropped a kettle on his foot and been injured. Everyday there is some risk of injury. Loads of players are injured in training. It was a game we wanted to win whether you see it as 4th in terms of importance or not. It was also a game where we could try and put a performance together and address previous poor results. Silva getting injured at any time is a loss. But you are completely blowing it out of proportion and showing no respect to a manager who brought us our best season in decades last time out. We can alter the system to create chances a different way. Yaya can create chances, so can Jovetic, and Nasri, and Milner and Navas. We have more than enough against the rags who aren't particularly good at defending. Calm it down child.

But the fact remains that every minute he was on the pitch in our 4th most important competition, there was a threat of injury, particularly against a side who's only chance against us was to niggle, tackle hard and hope for the best. Sundays game is infinitely more important, as is the Moscow game. So why risk him?

Re: City v United pre match thread
even if he hadn't got injured it was a shocking decision to play him in a home league cup game vs Newcastles second string ,as he should have had a few days rest to be ready for United and CSKA in the following 7 days

Re: City v United pre match thread
Very difficult to predict what MP will do. One thing I will say though is that although losing Silva is a terrible blow we're blessed to have the squad we do have. How many other clubs can point to players like Nasri, Milner, Navas, even Yaya and Jovetic to step up/step in.
FWIW I'll be both shocked and alarmed if Dzeko starts on Sunday.

Re: City v United pre match thread
Pack the midfield and let Sergio win the game with moments of brilliance
He is the match winner, not Silva

Re: City v United pre match thread
I think that is key to the game for me. If we dominate the midfield then we will win the game. Sergio will get chances and hopefully he takes them. Huge day for Fern, Fernando and Yaya, they really need to put a performance in. They dominate the game and possession then it allows Zabba and Clichy to push forward more and push back di maria. If Di Maria doesnt work for the team then we exploit that big time.

Re: City v United pre match thread
United will play Screech for sure, theyll have seen teams such as West Ham and others win the midfield battle and push on to our off-form defence.
Screech will be deployed alongside Blind with Mata or Herrera. Di Maria and Rooney more advanced with Van Persie up top.
We need to dominate the middle, we're not quite playing well enough to simply play around them and absorb the attacks.
