Not sure if it was confirmed but there were reports that Sagna will start at RB for the first few weeks of the season at the very least.

I think it's almost certain that we'll be playing 4-4-2.

So make room for Jovetic and Dzeko.

For me it would be

..........................................HART.......................................
ZABALETA......KOMPANY......DEMECHELIS..........KOLAROV
..................................FERNANDO.................................
......................YAYA......................FERNANDINHO.......
............SILVA............................................NASRI.........
....................................JOVETIC.....................................

With the players infront of Fernando we can control the midfield and push high, if they do get through that defence should have the ability and time to cope.
The movement should be excellent up front with Fernandinho being able to push further up than last season.
Jovetic is deceptively built but he can hold a player and does well in the air but his main strenth is sniffing out goals and running at the defence.

This will be over by the 60 minute mark.

0-3 to City.

This team for me too

and me with maybe the exception of kolorov.....good going forward ....awful defender.....erally hope we can play kompany at least as we cannt afford to play boyata......cannt believe he was given a new contracs as he is just plain awful

Maybe he'd defend better if you could spell his name ;-) anyway I think he's a better defender than you and a few others on here think.
Awful is far too harsh.

I assume you all are putting Isco on the bench?

 

[blinkblue]

Assuming the Argies won't feature I'd go with this:

________________Hart

Sanga - Kompany - Nastasic - Kolarov

___Navas - Yaya - Fernando - Nasri

________________Silva

_______________Dzeko

Subs: Caballero, Mangala, Clichy, Fernandinho, Lampard, Milner, Jovetic.

 

[Luck95]

Would like to see


Hart

Zaba Kompany Demi Kolarov

Fernando Fernandinho

Navas Toure Silva

Jovetic

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

I assume you all are putting Isco on the bench?

get him in the team if he comes to us.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

.................................Hart
Sagna..........Kompany....Nastasic........Kolarov
..................Fernando........Toure
Silva.......................Jovetic......................Nasri
...............................Dzeko

 

[George Hannah]

I just hope we don't get beat, this forum would liquefy after today's performance.

 

[jared]

Although seems likely Dzeko and jovetic will both play, does any think it quite risky to play both when aguero isn't ready and negredo is out for a few months. We could end up with no back up forwards if one of them gets injured.
