Spuds v CITY - Official Match Thread

[mcfc_ms]

It could be a very long night for Sylvinho if we play with Robinho or Petrov in the left of the midfield. So I can see us hopefully going with the three across the middle so one of them can help Sylvinho out against lennon.

So my team would be

..................Given......................
.Micah..Toure..Lescott..Sylvinho.
........DeJong..Ireland..Barry........
...Tevez......Adebayor.....Robinho.

I just hope we try and go out to beat them, and not sit back and hope for a draw. If we sit back, then I think they will destroy us

im really worried about lennon vs sylvinio....he will destroy the guy for pace........that will mean lescott will have to do a lot of covering in behind.......especially on break aways

without bellamy and swp we also lose our ability to play on the break as those 2 possess most of the pace we have upfront.......we need abig performance from tevez and ade tonight

lastly, defoe is a top top player.....again toure needs to maintain his concentration at all times or defoe will score at least one if not more

with a full strenght team id predict it would be close but with the likely loss of swp, de jong bridge and bellamy then i cannt see anything other than a loss im afraid

 

[ShaunMCFC]

Can't see anything but a loss

 

[bluemonkey71]

Can't see anything but a loss

Ditto...I think we could get dicked 3-1.

To stop this happening we need to stop Krankcar running the show and defend properly from crosses/corners from Lennon...

2-1 City(Ireland,Tevez)

As already mentioned, we need to be very strong in the middle to get anything from this one. Hang on a minute., isn't Palacios injured?

.................................Given..................

Hughes would never drop Lescott though...

Or Barry...

Don't you know how to read? SWP is definitely OUT tonight. As for dropping Lescott, Barry and Ireland, are you a rag?
