Porto v City Pre Match Discussion thread

Strange that richards and clichy were rested against villa, when it appears mancini is playing a weakened team

He is playing different tactics, not a weakened team.

So you think he has dropped kun to benefit the team?

Maybe i suppose, he has stopped scoring

Were not going to have a night of your hysterics again are we? Every match thread you are hysterical, to be honest it's getting quite tiresome now

bag of devonshire toffees??

Not a fan of toffees, something tasty and simple.

beer in one hand and huge bag sour pips in other, im all settled for 2nites game

What are sour pips?

mmm

never seen them before, i guess it's all dark and murky down south. We don't get as many pleasures as you do further up country.

Anyway, left it a bit late so i'll leg it round half time now.

Starting team looks very strong with mario and yaya back!

 

[brummie blue]

The bench

Pantillimon, Zab, Aguero, Kolarov, Pizzaro, Kolo Toure and Dzeko ?

Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Savic, Pizarro, Dzeko, Aguero.

No Milner or Johnson on the bench, our strength in depth is returning

Shame we didn't draw Ajax with their Russian Heskey up front, we've definitely got the toughest draw possible here. I'd take a draw now as we'll beat them at home I think.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

Yaya?

that's erm...surprising.

looks like we're taking it seriously...shame.

 

[welsh_andy]
