Re: United Vs City Pre Match discussion Thread
This is the hardest game to predict the team. There are two options, but it all depends on whether Mancini decides to go with 2 strikers or not. I think we will see this on Sunday , or something very similar :
--------------------Hart---------------------
Richards-----Vinnie K-----Lescott-------Clichy
--------------NDJ--------Milner-------------
Silva--------------Yaya---------------Nasri
-----------------Balotelli--------------------
That team is a good a guess as anyones. For some reason , I don't see Aguero starting the game , I feel Mancini would value Yaya's pace and strength running at the rags a little more , especially in an away game. Milner HAS to play, recently he has been playing superb , he can go forward , he can defend and he can score. NDJ is the reinforcement that is necessary in a game like this , he will sit , break play up and get us on our way. I think Nasri and Silva pick themselves due to the fact that they can heavily influence a game. Mario is in the same boat, there is no way he can't start. 4 in 4 , playing for the team , looking unstoppable. He will cause damage on Sunday , the man is in the zone. He has proved that in the big games ( FA semi and final ) that he will step up , he didn't play in either league derby last year , but I believe he will turn in the performance. He seems to have knuckled down and got on with the job , and reading recent interviews , he sounds up for it. I wouldn't mind seeing Aguero up there with him , he is a quality player , but I really can't see how Mancini is gunna set up for it. He with either stick on the side of caution , or go for it. As long as we play like we can and don't bottle it , I will be happy.
I always back City , no matter the opposition or the location , I really hope we win but the task we face is huge , no team has gone there and got anything in a very long time . I pray to god that we change that
2-1 City , Balotelli and Nasri
