Carrick and Cleverinho

vs barry and yaya, i'm confident on that battle

Balo will get us guaranteed free kicks and if we get a penalty.....

Let's just pray that Mario doesn't give that bent-of-a-ref any easy opportunity to screw us, he could get sent of for anything, two yellow cards can come quickly : diving, elbows, caught being offside but playing the ball, bad mouthing, staring at the ref, scoring from a back-heel, putting Wayne Booney to shame, etc..

we need Yaya to be on top of his game though

I thought Valencia was injured !

So, you believed Baconface?

Keep Valencia quiet and we'll win. Young will dive all over the place, but it's their right wing we need to be careful about.

Their defence is a joke, we'll murder them.

Clichy is one of the only leftbacks that can keep pace with valencia..hopefully hes ok after the injury.

Their width vs our narrowness could be an issue for us as it will be down to Nasri Silva and maybe one of the forwards to help protect the fullbacks. Think Rooney will play in the hole to make it a 5 man midfield for them.

We need yaya on his game today

Still gutted about no Milner or Richards for this one.

Come on city!!

I remember Balotelli scoring twice at OT, and getting Evans sent off last season. He also had a great game in the FA Cup semi-final victory. The decision makes sense.

I'm sure everyone remembers when he tore those red bastards a new one

It does utd seem to bring the best out of him,but im concerned that the cnut of a ref will somehow have a say in mario's game today,hope im wrong of course....
