I'm now Expecting an Attacking Display Against Birmingham

[jrb]

and a formation that allows us to do that. I won't go into last night as it's already been covered on multiple threads.

I want to see Mancini and city play 4-4-2 on Saturday. I want us to ditch the 3 holding midfielders and set up with an attacking team, with goals in mind. Anything less against a poor to average Birmingham side would be criminal.

This weekend we have a chance to either overtake or to draw level with Arsenal and United, and to extend the gap on the clubs below us. Arsenal are away to Everton and United are away to Villa. Both tricky games.

3 points is a must against Birmingham. Anything less would be......(fill in as appropriate)

I don't think 442 is necessarily the answer. I like the idea of 3 in the middle of the park - I just believe that you need a genuine attacking threat in there

I would like to see Milner play in the midfield with De Jong and Yaya/Barry and play AJ (Balo when fit) and Silva up front with Tevez

Barca play 433 and do fine with it - it's not the formation but a case of which players you play where and Mancini is playing too many defensive midfielders - Give Milner a run in centre midfield!

Dream on ;)

And if we lose because we commit too many men to attacking? Will you be on hear calling for Mancini?

People are totally over reacting, ManU played 5 across the middle, they wanted us to attack because they would have exploited the space and scored.

We'll win 1-0.

 

[Tony - MCFC]

Bolloxs - playing a 4 4 2 would not work - done it before and we failed. However i think we will be more positive because and give one of the 3 a bit of a license to roam more - for me i would drop Yaya and give him a break and play Milner in stead (that is his better formation) team would be as follows:-

Hart

Boatang
Toure
Vinny
Kolorov

DJ
Milner
Barry (or Yaya)

AJ
Tevez (although think Ade will play as Tevez need a break)
Silva

City fans need to start being realistic - there are no easy games in the prem anymore - Ming will sit and hit us on the break - we committ forward too many to quickly we will get beat and once again Bluemoon will be in meltdown.

4-3-3 i imagine, with AJ, Silva and Adebayor.

 

[kidash]

tevez will play. he's got a week to recover for the next game, i think mancio will give him 70 minutes then ade if we're a goal or 2 to the good.
