The Scum v CITY - CC 2nd Leg - Official Match Thread

[simon23]

I hear that Baconface may be resting Rooney for the Arsenal game....

i bloody hope so but i cannt see it....there is too much at stake for him to do that and rooney is on fire at the moment...then again he could play owen and one of his kids (though hasnt wellbeck just been loaned out somewhere?).....maybe he thinks that at OT he can play a slightly weaker team (ie no rooney) and still get a result.

would he play owen and berbatov together?????...i wouldnt imagine so.

Correct Welbeck has gone to PNE til the end of the season.

 

[Lord Blue]

agree with lord blue... except I think toure may well get the nod at the centre of defence, and SWP will definitely start ahead of petrov.

thanks bizzbo

2-0 city, adebayor (if he plays), and tevez (who else lol).

 

[Grand Master Ram Rod]

1-0 De Jong.

 

[BlueTrueBlue]

Read in the paper today that Robinho is considering leaving City, so Mancini would likely be playing Adebayor if he was considered fit enough (mentally and physically) for the challenge.

---------------------------- Given -------------------------

Richards -------- Boyata ------- Kompany ------ Garrido

------------------ De Jong ------- Barry --------------------
Shauny ----------------------------------------------- Bellamy

-------------------- Tevez ------- Adebayor ------------------

We need pace on the break so Shauny and Bellers on the wings.

Tevez will drop back to midfield when we lose the ball creating a 4-5-1.

With Tevez dropping short we should be able to control the midfield but need Shauny and Bellamy to stay wide and give us an outlet.

Richards, Boyata and Kompany give us plenty of presence at the back and Rooney was restricted to very few opportunities in the first half last week when up against Boyata and Kompany.

Adebayor will be able to hold the ball up which will be something we could desperately need, we don't want a repeat of the last 15 minutes of last week, with United constantly coming back at us because we couldn't hold on to the ball.

SWP has to start in my opinion. Petrov just isn't enough of a threat on the right.

i'd pick a firing swp too, but petrov is in a rich vein of form whereas swp's not had much match time recently, so i reckon mancini will plump for petrov
