Newcastle Vs City Pre Match Discussion Thread

[didsburyblu]

Seems like the team flew to Newcastle and not the best of flights either. Dzeko just tweeted
'That was not funny landing at all.. Scaryyyy'

Anyone care to tell me what Mancini said in his interview ?

Said we were the better team against Utd...that he doesn't want to talk about dressing room stuff with the press and intimated 'we know where these stories are coming from'
In a Nutshell

better team? it should have been 0-3 had the 2nd ref not messed up - what planet is Mancini on????

 

[sam-caddick]

Little bit worried about tomorrow due to our injuries and suspensions.

--------------Hart-------------
Zabaleta-Kolo-Nastasic-Clichy
----------Garcia-Yaya---------
Silva-------Tevez--------Nasri
------------Aguero-------------

Got a feeling Mancini is going to rotate again though with Dzeko up top and Maicon instead of Zabaleta.

Would be ridiculous if he did.

No need to rest/rotate Zaba.

Only reason to bring Maicon in, is if Clichy isn't fit and Zaba goes to leftback.

I agree with the selection, although we need a great team display - Garcia needs to step up and show that he can be capable of cementing the DM position as his own - otherwise come January I can see us making a move for an established DM

Going for a 3-0 win for us tomorrow : )

I agree the selection is right.

I was referring to the possible rotation of fullback's that Sam thought Mancini might employ.

And you're absolutely correct: Garcia, should he play, needs to put in a good performance.

"Mancini takes his squad to Newcastle with midfielder Jack Rodwell having suffered a setback to his hamstring problem. The £15million summer signing from Everton has made just six appearances for City and none since early October. "

FFS, Santa Cruz eat your heart out.
