Liverpool Vs City (CC) Pre match Discussion Thread (merged)

don't like the look of that line up particularly

I see no issues with the lineup and can see the logic behind it.

Too many kneejerkers. Mancini's staff know what they're doing. Of course, it /may/ not work but I definitely see the logic.

No idea what formation we're playing.

Aguero missing out is a shame.

It's definately:

Hart
Richards Savic Lescott
Zabaleta DeJong Barry Kolarov
Silva Nasri
Dzeko

christmas tree 3-4-2-1

 

[rastus]

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

Bollocks

First time I've ever genuinely been pissed at bobby!!! A chance of wembley and we send that team out??? Clichy,aguero,Milner should all be starting with Micah alongside lescott and zab st rb!!! Barry alongside de Jong hasn't ever worked as its too slow!! Has he forgot that we are losing the tie at the moment?? Savic yet again scares the fuck out of me!! Feeling beaten already at mo!! :-(

 

[Lulic Lazio]

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

not scored a goal in the last two games, a total of e shoot at goal may: 3-4 times

 

[km09]

why are we playing more defensive when we need to win

 

[mancityboy21]

Hmmmmm, no Kun?

Looks like a lineup trying to exploit the size of Dzeko with Nasri/Silva/Zab/Kolarov whipping in crosses but I don't see this happening unless Liverpool leaves Agger out of a the lineup as well....

This also reeks of Mancini making another first half substitution if this doesn't play out in the first 30...

 

[yozzer]

we are chasing the game.and thats the team to get us at least 3 if liverpool get 1...
shaking head furiously lol

With Dzeko playing the lone striker tonight we need to get decent crosses into the box for him to attack thats the only reason I see Kolarov playing. Not too fused with De Jong playing in midfield. Tonight he will be fine and give more protection to Savic and Lescott a bit surprised he didnt pick Milner as last match he was class.

Kolarov can't cross the street

Not spending pre-match in here with Red Issue.

Top of the League you mugs, but we're useless. Hmm
