Underdogs for Semi

[MadchesterCity]

nope, we are still favourites.

In our eyes and with the bookies, would be interesting what the neutrals were to think and what if we pick up injuries to Lescott and Aguerro in the next match, we all know how bad thugs Liverpool are with Charlie Adam and co diving into Challenges

I cant see Adam playing after his performance in the league game. Gerrard will be in for sure.

And we all know what a diving dirty cheat he is<br /><br />-- Tue Jan 10, 2012 8:58 pm --<br /><br />

Will be tough for sure but we proved that with 10 men on Sunday, we were more than capable of matching and being better than United! We were without the Toure brothers, Kompany (most of the game) and Silva in the 2nd half and Dzeko and Balotelli didn't even play; I think we did well enough to prove we have a strong enough squad and mentality at the club.

It's easy enough to play Micah at CB with Zab at RB or Savic at CB with Micah at RB. The midfield will consist of Barry and Milner in the middle, then Nasri, Johnson, Aguero and Balo/Dzeko (if fit) IMO.

Good enough team to be honest! We might struggle if they sit back and try to hit us on the counter because it will be difficult to break them down without Silva playing his little balls through the middle but we have another threat with Johnson if he plays his game beating his man!

that post cheered me up but still can't believe Kompany is out for 4 games for good tackle, the most annoying being the Spurs game

---------------------Hart--------------------

Zabaleta----Richards------Lescott-----Clichy

------------De Jong-------Barry------------

Milner--------------Aguero-------------Nasri

------------------Dzeko/Balo--(one will play!)

Sorted, 3-1 to us.

It's devastating that he is out for 4 games after such a good tackle; there has been many many worse tackles in the game that have got a yellow or let go with no action at all but if we dwell on it, it'll catch us out - we need to roll our sleeves up and do it our way and prove to everyone we're here to stay!

Are we now Underdogs for the Semi across the 2 legs against Liverpool?

Spine has been removed from the team

Kompany Toure
Silva YaYa
Dzeko Balotelli

Things were looking so good, I think Mancini is right that we need to strengthen and fast!

If we don't take a lead into second leg then we must surely be.

Beginning to worry so much about the referees now as they seem to be attacking us in all the major fixtures

Hod on, hold on... you conveniently miss out Hart form th spine ... good to go tomorrow

You include Kolo as if he is some keystone of the back 4... squad player....


Granted , Yaya out and that's a miss... Silva possibly.. that' a miss too

but we can bring in Barry/ Milner/ AJ in midfield

You mention Balo / Dzeko out up front ... any latest news???

If both out we go 4-5-1 or 4-2-1-3

stop flapping....

We may buy some cover in the Jan window but ..hey maybe not... we have a returning squad for the last 2 months of the season that can win us the Prem

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring !!!! (Clive Dunn pics , please !!)

Both Balo and Dzeko were heavily involved and training fully today so I could see at least 1 of them starting for us tomorrow.

This is the time we really need to stand up and be counted! Even without some of our best players, we proved Sunday that with 10 men against 11 and 0-3 down we can still compete with the top teams in the world!! If we play like we played in the second half on Sunday we will destroy the bin dippers!!


Come on city!

 

[KunKun]

Still clear favourites for me but like em or not they raise the roof at their place for big games and get results over 2 legs so we defo need a lead to take there, preferably by more than 1!

Both trained today, so hopeful at least one of them will make it.
