Robinho (ankle) is fit, Vincent Kompany (toe) faces a late test and Nigel de Jong is not registered to play as City take a 2-0 lead into the second leg.TFC said:PabZab said:These guys are meant to be great away from home, they get mauled by a City team without Kompany/Bellamy. Now we're playing them at home and for some reason they are brilliant.

Ched and Vinnie in for Big Phil and Elano

Is Elano on the bench? What do people think of this. Unless he's injured which, you know, he isn't.

As far as i know he's on the bench but not sure, bit disappointed really as i think Elano's played well in the past two games but i can understand where Hughes is coming from in bringin Vinnie back in as he gives us the extra bite in midfield which we'll need tonight

i think that means that MH has gone for the slightly more defensive approach thats all
Kompany is a holdin midfielder where elano is at his best as almost a second striker......or attacking midfielder which ever way you want to put it
The inculsion of evens also points to Mh going slightly more defensive in that evans will hussle the oppositions defence and out the boot in....whereas big phil doesnt do this (i was very noticeable at chelsea where terry et al ha all the time in the workd when phil was on but as soon as evans came on he was getting stuck in)
also save elano for sunderland or if we go a goal or two down in this game.
