pick the side and formation for tomorrow....

[Rammy Blue]

not seen a thread done for the game as yet, and before any mod merges thread into matchday forum then please don't as no-one goes in there on a Friday!

for me, and even though i would prefer 4-2-3-1, i expect Hughes to go as was from the Chelsea game with a 4-4-2 with tevez playing slightly deeper off Ade......

......................Shay.......................

Micah.......Kolo.......Lescott.....Sylvinho

SWP.........NDJ.........Barry........Robbie

.................Tevez...........................
..........................Ade.....................


subs. Taylor, Ned, Vince, Rigsby, Bellers, Superman, Crocky.


there is obviously an argument, a decent one at that, for starting Bellamy ahead of Robbie but i would go with the unchanged side bar replacing Bridge with Sylvinho - i think the lads earned the right to keep the shirts with the display against Chelsea.

more of the same please Leslie, high tempo from the first whistle.

City 3 Notlob 1

 

[Freestyler]

Same team as last week, just lescott to left-back and Kompany pairing Toure in the middle.

this^^

or lescott and toure in center and vinnie at left fullback

 

[Blue Dove]

Same as last week except I would play Barry at left back to combat the usual Bolton tactic of Davies putting pressure (bullying!) on the left back and Boltons midfield looking to pick up the 2nd ball.
I would put Big Vince in his midfield place to combat the high ball before it hits the Back 4.
Robbie would sit this one out and be ready for Spurs. Bolton away is not a game I would play him in and he has only just come back from injury.
Keep him for Spurs.
In his place I would bring in either Bellers as a straight swop or Superman as the CAM of the three in the middle and move Tevez over to the left in a 4-5-1 ( which turns to a 4-3-3 in attack).

Can't wait, but it is going to be freezing in the upper tier!

Sylviniho for Bridge otherwise unchanged from Chelsea

DO NOT move Lescott. He is finally starting to look the part so leave him be. We bought Sylvinho to cover Bridge. Let him do just that

Would play Superman tomorrow. There's no need to invite Bolton on - they're shit and have no confidence. Would only play 1 holding midfielder so that would be NDJ - I would have Barry at full back. He's done the job very well in the past. Might not be the best day to put Silvinho in who's not played 1st team Prem football for a while.

 

[MCC]

I think because it is Bolton and they will play Kevin Davies and bombard us with a number of high balls, I would seriously think about playing Lescott or Barry at left back. If it was any other team, apart from maybe Stoke, then I would play Sylvinho.

Given

Richards......Toure....... Lescott....... Barry


...........De jong......Kompany........

SWp........Tevez...........Ireland


Adebayor



I wouldnt split up toure and lescott as its another game where they can get to know one another. Bring back in Ireland for his creativity and you know he can always get a goal. Botlon are a physical side so Robinho might get kicked and how strong is his ankle? Save him for next week against spurs.
City to win 3-1 ireland, adebayor Lescott
