Official MatchDay Thread | Manchester City v Blackburn

[Aussie!]

Hearing news of Boateng and Bolatelli coming in. Should be able to thrash Blackburn at home.

15:00 -

Play 3 up front & go for the throat. 4-3-3 would give us fans something to shout about. Hate it when 1 man upfront. Got to be looking to get that goal diff up. These so called smaller clubs we should be looking to thrash. Against S/land we had Tevez on his own in the middle. What good is a high ball in that situation?

 

[GerBlueBear]

Adebayor
Tevez
Milner Johnson

Lets get at 'em, boring Blackburn are bound to park the bus up infront of the goal. We need a big home win so we don't get left behind early from the top. Come on City!!!

Kolo ain't done nothing wrong and deserves to keep his place alongside kompany. Boateng to replace Richards at right back for me bridge has also targeted Blackburn as his come back game so bridge at left back for me if he is back.

Hart Boateng Toure Kompany Bridge Barry Yaya Johnsom Milner Ade and Tevez for me

Given Richards Lescott De Jong Silva Jo Balotelli

Silva should also be given a decent run out perhaps the full 90mins especially with us being at home so many players it's hard to pick from :)

I know Kolos done quite well so far but I think that we would have more of a physical presence, wich will be one if the most important things v Blackburn IMO, with Boateng as a CB with Kompany and Micah on the right, then with Lescott at LB that's one beasty defence!

I would still play Kolo as our main CB along with Kompany for most matches but against teams like Blackburn, Stoke and Burnley who all thump it up to big strikers I'd pick the taller and more powerful defenders like Boateng/Kompany/Lescott/Richards over the more technical defenders like Kolo and Zabaleta.

Mario unlikely to be fit for saturday according to the guardian

Only three points will do.


Any thing less and we will be 7 points off top spot at least and 7 points behind where we were after 4 games last season.

Its a must win game and hope we do it with ease.
