Saturday.

[The game 161]

3 - 0

dejong hat trick

right foot
left foot
and one from a tackle in his own 18 yard area

Wonder if De Jong will return to starting line-up.

 

[Blue Coop]

Team I think he may play

Hart, Zaba, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, Barry, Yaya, Milner, Silva, Nasri, Dzeko.

3-1 (Dzeko, Yaya, Lescott)

Hart, Zaba, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, Barry, Yaya, Milner, Silva, Nasri, Dzeko.

3-1 (Dzeko, Yaya, Lescott)

Think he'll start with Tevez and Johnson, give aguero and silva a rest and hold De jong back for Napoli

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Johnson will start most home games, but be on the bench for pretty much every away game.

Id want silva and nasri starting every game

 

[MCFC BOB]

Would be happy with 9-8.

Three points is three points.

 

[MC ID]

We need to rest players for the CL so I assume we will have a different line up to what we've been used to so far, perhaps Balotelli or Tevez starting in the place of Dzeko.

3 points is 3 points but it will be interesting to see if we can keep the same style we have created over the past few matches without the usual team members. If we have a convincing win I'll proceed to put money on us winning the title.

 

[Andouble]

it'll be a close one, 2-1 or 3-1 but a grind with eyes on the CL.

 

[flipmode]

3 o'clock Saturday, that is a thing to be cherished

I was thinking the same thing. Won't be many of them this season IMO.

 

[Aussie!]

they are not as strong as they have been of late, i'm going for 8-2.

LOL

hey niro, ill 1 up you, and say 9.<br /><br />-- Mon Sep 05, 2011 2:08 pm --<br /><br />Tevez will starrt

 

[Dzekunasri]

I don't think we should start expecting results like 7-0's. That's when the stupid threads start when it doesn't happen. Plus Wigan were excellent for an hour (were much the better team in the second half, McCarthy and Cleverly played really well) at our ground last season and we scraped a 1-0 win.

Let's just hope we play well and win.

[Project]

Surely the PL is the bigger priority? If you are going to rest Silva in one of the games, make it Napoli.


For Wigan I would go with:

Hart

Zabaleta
Kompany
Lescott
Clichy

Milner
Barry
Yaya

Silva
Tevez
Balotelli


Napoli:

Zabaleta
Kompany
Lescott
Kolarov

De Jong
Milner
Yaya

Nasri
Aguero
Dzeko

 

[alky313]

-----------------------Hart----------------------
Zabaleta----Kompany----Savic----------Clichy
-----------------De Jong-Barry---------------
-----------------------Nasri--------------------
Johnson---------------Dzeko------------Tevez

Milner on for Nasri in the 60
Kolarov on for Johnson in the 75 (Clichy pushes forward)
Aguero on for Dzeko in at 82

4-1 City on a Tevez hattrick.

 

[Lmarkham-blueblood]

23 - 2

 

[mart]

1 - 0 will do me dont care if its scrappy or not lol

 

[gintylad]

I'm thinking Balo will start and score a few, oh and i'm relying on a Al habsi mistake just to keep up appearances.

 

[matt_matt]

I think Nasri should start, if I'm right in saying he didn't have very much of a pre-season at Arsenal. It'll help him get his match fitness up and help him build relationships with his new team mates in the pressures of a real game.

Front four I'd go: Nasri--Johnson; Balotelli--Dzeko, then bring on Tevez for the whole second half in place of Dzeko. Edin gets a chance to carry on his red-hot form, Carlos a chance to show what he can do. If the reports are true about him putting on 6 kilos (what's that, almost a stone?) since the Copa, he'll need match fitness building up too.

 

[SS117]

Score 2 goals in 30 minutes and we could be ramping through them.
