love coming out in the 3-5-2

err 3-4-3

That team is more than capable of beating these, in saying that i dont like the look of Dzeko on his own up front and no Aguero? I'd like to think he's resting/rotating him but we dont play until next Wednesday so it seems weird when we could do with an early goal to get back in the tie. Either way Cmon CITY!!!!!!

 

[Hungarian blue]

Why not AJ instead of Kolarov? Except of that, it is good.

 

[pudge]

With Kolarov playing, that team is there for the taking.

 

[LoveCity]

At least Kolarov won't have to try and defend but his attacking side was shamefully poor in the first leg when he came on. Emptied the Etihad.

 

[Ducado]

subbs - Pantilimon, Clichy, Rekik, Milner, Hargreaves, Johnson, Aguero

 

[coulsonblue]

he's going 3-4-2-1

Aiming to allow silva and nasri to come in field and dominate possession, without sacrificing width which usually happens when they both play.

Technically, Kolarov is slightly more attacking in the eyes of neutrals anyway.

Just a shame that Zabaleta isn't.

Can see the logic, we can't afford to concede either and have to be patient.
We only need 1 goal after all.

 

[Anthony_18]

No Milner either. Strange selections tonight, it the kinda team you would pick if you were 1-0 up on aggregate rather than 1 behind.

 

[andrewmswift]

KO at :30 or :45?

 

[coulsonblue]

don't believe the team news until it's official

It's official.

yep, just saw it on twitter. but there's been a spell lately of people announcing false team news just prior to the official announcement

not from me.

RE:Dzeko. He can hold the ball up well. Give the lad a chance. This isn't a game for running in behind defences, with Liverpool sitting back.
