4-3-3 or 4-5-1 maybe, with Zaba, De Jong and Barry in the central midfield roles?

5-1

feel like it's going to be one of those days where we get absolutely ripped apart

You waited 3 months to poste that shite?? fuckin clown

Surely a 4-3-3:

Given

Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Bridge

Zab, Barry, De Jong

Johnson, Tevez, Bellamy


Looks strong.

 

[FantasyIreland]

4-5-1

Given our options,i wouldn't disagree with that lineup

My first post on BM folks. Alright hows it going.
Thought id see whats going on on the 'other' city forum.. :)

Not expecting anything other than a loss today, but stranger things happen and well, we are city after all.
Just hope we can get some support up from the mid, seeing were so defensively minded , and im sure carlos will be toiling on his jack...

Have a good un folks...

Id better get back to where i belong..;)

It will be a 4-5-1 for most of the game!

Let's hope Mancini's defensive style can pay dividends today. This is the kind of game in which I'm hoping we can close the opposition down and Tevez and Bellamy can cause that donkey Terry all kinds of trouble on the break. AJ could be important on the break too given Chelsea's trouble at left back at the minute. Come on City it's my birthday today and I'd love us to get a positive result to boost confidence for the run in, the whole club needs a lift to quell all the negative publicity.
