QPR Vs City Pre match Discussion Thread

[BlueCityfan]

I expect this line-up:

----Dzeko
Silva-Aguero-Johnson
----Yaya-Barry
Clichy-Lescott-Savic-Richards

If Silva isn't fit from his back-problem or Mancini doesn't want to risk him. I reckon Nasri will start instead of him.

Not sure if Milner or De Jong will play over either Barry or Yaya. Barry has been on the bench alot recently.

Please explain why Balo is not in the lineup!

Played full game against Villareal. While Aguero and Dzeko both started from bench. Just like AJ. I reckon balo will come from the bench.

I also think Yaya starts simply because he is almoste never rested expect in carling cup and FA cup.

Barry is fresh and thats why i think he starts. De Jong and Milner played full game.

I have learnt to read Mancini's rotation strategy pretty well IMO. :D Let's see if im right.

think im right in saying silva has started 9 of 10 prem games this season (coming on as sub in the other) plus champs league games. if i was manager i'd give him the day off not even put him on the bench. mind you i'll be watching the game at home in my pants so on this one i'll defer to roberto's expertise...

think I`ll go commando for the QPR game

Be a hard match but we will win 2-0

so i just woke up from my nights sleep and i dreamt that City won this game 9-nil. I dont know what kind of omen this is, but I'm a little excited.

Give me a scrappy 1-0 now

Need a win going into the international break

I have a horrible feeling that Barton will do something stupid which will result in a serious injury, i so hope im wrong.

Is it just me who remembers Sweep ripping Clichy a new arsehole every time we played the arse.

Sweep has lost a lot of pace. I also think Clichy has improved a bit since the times when he was at Arsenal.

Maybe I'm being too harsh, but when we play teams that closely mark Silva, Nasri needs to step up and for me he hasn't.

I know he's only been a bit-part player to date, but I've been slightly disappointed so far.

The guy has so much quality and is just as capable of running a game like Silva.<br /><br />-- Sat Nov 05, 2011 5:00 pm --<br /><br />

I'll tell you what. I always thought Clichy was the weak link at Arsenal, a bit like Micah used to be. Positionally not strong at time.

But this season, he almost has a swagger about him.

Agree with that but i think Silva takes Nasris space (im not complaining) Nasri is much more effective when he has a central free AM role and as such, he is a great deputy for Silva, but not great when hes pushed out wide to accommodate David.
