Match Thread: City vs Sunderland

[Marvin]

Tevez looks like he might be available as latest training part says he was fully involved in training

Looking forward to seeing Gyan. I think he's a terrific player. Thought they'd over paid at the time £13.5 Million I think they paid, but he's got some fantastic skill. We need to watch ut for Welbeck as well. Their results dipped when Welbeck was out but he's back now. Likewise Cattermole

I think Sunderland are just like most Premiership teams. They need their best players available, and can rise to the occasion on every given day, so we need to get back to our best form.

Confident we will have enough to beat them. The extra days rest after the internationals will be good for us

I'm gonna miss this game, damn mothers day! Why play it at 4 on mothers day?

*sigh*

Anyway:

_______________Hart_______________
Zabaleta___Kompany__Lescott___Kolarov
_________________________________
_______Yaya Touré___de Jong________
_____Milner______________Silva______
_________________________________
_______________Tévez______________
_______________Džeko_____________

Bench:

Given,

Boyata,

Barry,
Vieira,
M Johnson/Cunningham/Wabara/Vidal/Mee/McGivern,
A Johnson,

Balotelli,

Kolarov & Milner down the wings, Džeko in the middle with Tévez playing off him & Silva creating and Milner also helping Yaya & de Jong. de Jong doing the usual and a more defensive role for Yaya, the 'Barry' role...see how that works out.

2-1 City :D

...Hopefully...

---Balotelli--------Dzeko------Tevez-----

This would be my perfect starting 11!

De Jong and Yaya breaking up the play, distributing to Silva, Tevez and balotelli for them to produce the magic! Get Dzeko on the last man and get plenty of service to him through them 3

Come on City!!

 

[Goaters]

Sunderland have on paper a very handy team so could be a tough game, they have an abundance of pace so will look to counter attack.

------------Hart-----------------

Boyata----Komp---Lescott--Ak

--------Milner-----Silva-----------

Johnson-----------------Mario----

I'm sure Sunderland won't be a push over but this is the kind of game we need to win even if it's only by a goal. Nice timing being on Mother's Day. I hope all blues mums are happy after the game!

id probably put boyata at right back if zabaleta isnt quite ready

Boyata is a good player its a shame but that Arsenal sending off has put him down the pecking order. Maybe tomorrow eh..
