Would you like this starting eleven?

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

Richards--Kompany---Lescott----Clichy

-------de Jong--------Yaya----------

----------------Silva---------------

---------Aguero-------Balotelli------

--------------Dzeko/Tevez----------

I think that this will be VERY close.

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

Richards--Kompany---Lescott----Clichy

-------de Jong--------Yaya----------

----------------Silva---------------

---------Aguero-------Nasri / Sneijder------

----------Dzeko/Tevez/ Balotelli----------

Milner / AJ / Barry will be rotation players.

spot on...would defo be my first 11

I remember just after the start of the 2008/09 season, when the players were lining up for kick-off, "It's like fantasy football".

But this team would knock spots off even that one!

I can hardly believe what has happened to this fantastic club.

We've already had a thread started about starting eleven lads...majority was in agreement that Bobby wouldn't drop the 2 holding mids unless its against lesser opponents (which technically SHOULD BE EVERYONE NOW!!).

Ndj and Barry/Yaya...if its Ndj and Barry then in front i would like to see, and i would imagine it would be ....Silva, Aguero, Balotelli/Milner(yes i seriously think he's thinking of Milner as a starting winger) with Dzeko leading the line.
(mancini) (me)
hart hart
micah lescott kompany clichy richards lesc komp clichy
ndj barry (errrrrr) vs ndj
silva yaya milner/balotelli silva yaya weiss (yes weiss!!)
aguero/dzeko aguero
balotelli

 

[mancityscot]

Johnson isn't good enough for a starting place imo

 

[whothefisAlice]

wow..that didnt come out the way it was supposed to.

mancinis.....hart, back 4 then NDJ and Baz...with silva yaya and milner or balotelli, with aguero playing off dzeko.

mine......hart, back 4 then ndj....silva yaya balotelli...with aguero playing off balotelli.

Sorry for poor posting skills.

All well and good with this eleven--but where'e the wide man. I rate Johnson[or SWP when he's on song] so i'd fit him some where.

 

[Corky]

Needs SWP

Doesn't the width in Mancini's teams come from the full-backs?

Neither AJ nor SWP are good enough to start, given this current squad, IMHO.

quitting whilst im ahead...i mean Weiss out wide..one Balo's enough!! Nobody giving Weiss a chance?? SWP is not going to cut it , he's no starter anymore! Johnson/Milner/Weiss are our 3 choices i'd say. I'd like to give Weiss a chance. Why not?<br /><br />-- Wed Jul 27, 2011 5:22 pm --<br /><br />@Vienna...great point. It's not like Micah and Clichy aren't gonna bomb forward anyway...we got plenty of width. He's got two of the fastest, most athletic, fb's in the league. I think we are really really really looking fantastic!!! Im proper buzzing everyday now!!

 

[McKenzie'sGoalWasBetter]

.......................Hart.......................

Michah..... Vinny.....Lescott/Kolo.....Clichy/Kolorov(2 left backs that arent great defenders)

................Milner .......NDJ......................

Silva..................Yaya..............Aguero....

Dzeko


Can revert to 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 easily, probably with only 1 sub. I think Milner can be an absolute star for us and I hope he gets the chance this season. With CL games this season the squad will see a fair bit of rotation, so SWP, Adam Johnson, Balotelli, Barry etc should see a fair bit of action too.

Fooking magic this, its like picking your Fantasy Football team. I love it!!!!!!!!
