What is your best ever City XI...before 2008!

[noely]

from what I've seen

coton

Richards Van Buyten Distin Hinchcliffe

Lake Flitcroft

SWP Kinkldadze Ali B

Anelka

 

[MCFC1993]

I'll go with a team i've seen play so roughly 1999 onwards and I'll avoid putting Hart and Vinny in.

----------------------Weaver

-------Richards------Dunne---------Distin

SWP----------Foe------------Elano--------Benarbia

-------Goater-------Anelka---------Vassell

Bench: Arason (Just for that FA Cup game), Wiekens, Barton, Ireland, M.Johnson, Berkovic, Wanchope

Honourables: Van Buyten, Reyna, Horlock, Kennedy, Tiatto, Petrov, Huckerby, Dickov

I changed formation last minute to fit Vassell in for Berkovic, went on sentiment as well as ability.


Johnson for Vassell, with MJ centre mid and either Elano/Benarbia on the left and the other behind The Goat and Anelka would provide better balance, ala:

----------------------Weaver

-------Richards------Dunne---------Distin

SWP----------Foe----------Johnson-------Benarbia

-----------------------Elano

---------------Goater-------Anelka
