Stoke vs. City Pre-Match Discussion Thread

Strange line-up for me.

We need height at the back, so Kolarov would have got the nod.

I'd have gone one upfront, Balotelli, and played Milner instead of Dzeko.

But what do I know? I've never won the FA Cup...

cant stress enough how mario needs to shine today, or at least really try hard. if not it will be like playing with 10 men

Big big mistake playing Mario, Stoke will wind him up and get him sent off nothing so sure, tut, tut, tut.

Don't matter he can put in 2 shite back to back performance's and still get in the starting eleven.

It's madness Milner and Johnson don't get afforded one bad half.

ESPN just trying their best to make out Tevez is a problem.Not sure they are even convinced themselves.

Well it's like when you were a kid playing football and the kid of the manager always played no matter how shit they were same thing with Mancini and Balotelli, he can do no wrong in his eyes.

I can understand why he has gone for the two up-front but Balo and Dzeko notoriously don't play well together.

Just hope Mario pays him back for all the support he give's him but I'n not counting on it!

Mario and Dzeko have a poor partnership as neither has the work rate, touch, or passing ability.
