Why don't we play 3 at the back and see what happens? Touré is poor, Richards is injured and Onuoha needs a few more sub appearences IMO. De Jong had a minor set back with his performance today, and I'm sure that playing along side Vieira more he will learn from him. Johnson played well today and looked like the only player that looked bothered in midfield. Him and Petrov are both electric when on top form, (and before you start, Robinho hasn't been on top form, so please don't start that) and with them switching wings and scaring the life out of the defenders it would make it difficult to beat. Stephen Ireland has been somewhat of a passenger this season and with calls for him to play in the 'in the hole' role, I thought we should trial it on Tuesday. Bellamy isn't threatening out wide, so I think we should slip him into a very dangerous position, with Petrov/Johnson and Bridge/Richards over lapping eachother on either wing, we'll be ripping it apart. Tevez is Tevez, COME ON CITY! :D

If we could just swap Petrov for SWP then this would be my team. Tev and Ade simply do not work as a pair upfront. Bellers and Tev have a better understanding.

We can't stop concedeing with 4 defenders. Playing with 3 at the back you need 3 really good centre halfs. 1 to sweep and the other 2 to mark the front men.

We haven't got them.

If we stop Davies, then Bolton struggle.

Swp should play right back, and I don't want to see Zab or de Jong in the team.
