Glad to see the slaughtering of the performance has begun well before kick off.
The only one of this selection that concerns me is Vieira, but arguably his best performance in a City shirt was against Villa last season in the league so maybe Mancini remembers that.
The back four is the strongest it can be without Kompany being fit (everyone has been banging on about giving Boetang a chance at CB) and pretty much everyone agrees that Richards is our form player and Zabba is better than Kolarov so where is the arguements there?
Attacking wise, We didn't have Tevez last time we played at home against this lot, and what happened? Carlos looked shot on sunday and considering his effort levels he needs the break. We have Silva to pull the strings which is more important than anything. Milner is just back from injury so probably not wise to push him too much, otherwise he would be my only change with the resources available
And SWP? He was so so bad against Aries that its probably wise he isn't risked
And its not like our bench is weak if needed
