little change in personell, just diffeent formations for different games are a must

 

[NICKS BACK]

Football is a sqaud game, there is no such thing as a best 11. Eleven players in one formation may win well one week but be innefective the week after against a different opposition.

One big criticism of last season was how we plodded into every game with the same formation, regardless of the personnel available and the opposition.

What we have now are option. a GK and a flat back 4 should be set in stone. After that you could have de jong holding and barry going box to box with ireland as the more advanced of a central three. Santa Claus up front with robinho and (HIDES) Tevez behind, allowing Robbie and Tevez to drift wide.

or

you play with SWP and Petrov as wide me with Santa Clause as a target man and robinho or tevez playing off him. This means that you then play de jong and barry or have ireland in place of de jong in slightly less advanced position.

or

we could go on.....

We could however didn,t see anything about Tevez signing source?

I'd play that at home with Animal coming in for bellers/Santa away,current squad though.

With the players we've already signed and still more to come,and with all our vast wealth, if we don't see a massive improvement on last year,i'll be convinced that the club is fucking cursed.

Bare in my mind that im fourteen, and Man City for all 14 of those years, and a little bit new to this... i'm usin me dads account... but 4 me weve got to go back to basics and back to 4 4 2. My team would be:

GK: Shay Given

RB: Paublo Zabaletta
LB: Wayne Bridge (or Jolean Lescott if signed)
CB: Micah Richards
CB: Nedum Onuoha (or Kolo Toure if signed)

RM: Shaun Wright-Phillips
LM: Robson De Souza (Robinho)
CM: Stephen Ireland
CM: Gareth Barry

ST: Roque Santa Cruz
ST: Craig Bellamy (or Carlos Tevez)

Subs: Kasper Schmeical, Vincent Kompany, Nigel de Jong, Elano, Valerie Bojinov and Martin Petrov. (Sorry about the missing Legends which are Richard Dunne and Glauber Berti!)
