Dont care what team we play 30 years since our last major final and this is the year I can feel it Mancini is a winner and win we will
 
Rest nobody.

If they're fit, they need to play.

I'd play Milner over Barry...

Maybe Zabaleta in the de Jong role?

Barry is shite whenever he plays against Villa and isn't Silva injured? Dzeko is the man.<br /><br />-- Wed Mar 02, 2011 10:19 am --<br /><br />Here is the AWAY league table with Aston Villa down in the relegation zone, which should give us some confidence, especially without their star striker.

Mancini will probably set up with a 4-3-3 again although I have a few gripes about that. Starting Balotelli, Dzeko and Tevez is fine but in the last few games Balotelli and Dzeko have setup almost like wingers supporting Tevez.

My complaint about this is that Mancini needs to decide whether he is playing wide or straight through the middle. If he is playing through the middle then a diamond should be adopted with either Tevez, Silva or Milner behind the 2 strikers. If wide then SWP and Kolarov or Johnson when fit.

Milner IMO should be starting games and should not be played wide or in central midfield like Mancini seems to always want. Milner plays best behind the strikers. I mean how much did he cost? he barely gets a look in.

All I'm saying is if he is going with 3 strikers they need to be setup a bit better than currently, Dzeko and Balotelli are "centre" forwards not wingers.

That would be ideal if they're all fit. I'd like to see that front 3 again, was starting to work well before Balotelli got injured.
 
Mancini may not like City playing every 3 days, but I think it's great!


----------Hart------------
Zab--Toure--Lescott--Kolarov
---Milner--Barry--Yaya-----
Balotelli--Tevez---Dzeko-----
 
Really not looking forward to this game, we got the best chance in a long time to get to the semis but there is always that nagging thing in the back of my mind that a top cat performance will happen tonight. i'd plays Zabs at LB up against Albrighton as he is a dangerous player.

Hart

Richards
Boateng
Toure
Zabaleta

Yaya
Milner
Silva

Balotelli
Tevez
Dzeko

gotta go for this tonight.
