So...Manchester City!

[9Fowler]

Rafa gave Robbo his debut against Hull in the last game of the 09/10 season.

Then Kenny gave him 70 mins as a sub for the injured Aurelio, his first start came later that year in the 5-0 trashing of Birmingham.

 

Flanno got his debut against Manchester city back in 2011, and then got to start against Arsenal in the following fixture.

Johnson right back Toure Left back is surely the best option

[Pidge]

Toure left back? Wouldn't you prefer Toure on the right and Johnson on the left?

[Ezekiel 25:17]

Sheeeeeet, yeah, that's what I meant.

[RedRazor]

Johnson right back Toure Left back is surely the best option

Don't disagree but his performance against Arsenal was worrying - may have a problem playing against previous clubs.

[moof]

I'd rather play Smith than play a CB at left back

[Alan Sex]

Merson on the sky website is calling for City to win 4-1. Must be back on the gear. Worra cunt.

[chris71]

I'm calling for us to win 4-1 , so fuck Merson.

I guess most people dont care much about this game seeing the height of their expectations are finishing 4th?

[Hand Shandy]

Welcome back Code.

A stupid and inflammatory remark Code. Well done you.

No, I think we'll need some of those point things to finish in the top 4, so all things considered, I'd like to get some no matter where we play.

You reap what you saw Stringers, you cant have it both ways, if you are happy to take 4th 1/3rd into the season when you are sitting 2nd your claim for glory furtherdown the line will be somewhat shallow.

 

If you pick 7 games and decide to go for a double system instead of the full accumulator the price will not be as big at the end  of the road.

 

Its not a problem for me though as I'm not one to settle for second as long as its theoretically possible to get 1st.

 

You would imagine this is one of the games those of you settling for 4th would be happy to lose, because I hope you realise you will have to take quite a few losses if you are happy with 4th?

[Tony Moanero]

Has someone farted?

[Newport]

Let's just see who can score more goals. I predict a draw, but I hope we can win 5-4.

[skend04]

Now that I've bet on goals being in this match see it end 0-0. You guys will thank me when we win the league by a point.

Echo thinks it's going to be either Kelly or Toure at RB with Johnson moving over to the left.

Flanagan out for a while by the looks of things. What a shame for us and for him.

Superb post.

[Paco]

4-3 city

[Paco]

has to be kelly at rb and gj at lb or agger at lb and gj stays right.

 

should be a cracker.

[Razoray]

With Flanno out i would expect Pellegrini to start Navas on the right with Silva behind Negredo. I think this would suit is more than 442 as Allen and Henderson can press higher up the pitch. I'd play Toure Rb as they will not have an out and winger playing on the left

[Evil_Ways]

Very much looking forward to this game. Can't say im confident though, City have looked unplayable at home. We do owe them a beating though, should have comfortably won both fixtures last season, but a couple of ridiculous mistakes cost us.

Johnson-----Kolo------Sakho---Agger

----------------Lucas--Allen-------------

Sterling------------Henderson--Coutinho

---------------------Suarez-------------------------

 

would be how I'd like us to line up, not really sure what I expect to see with the left back situation though and imagine Skrtel will start ahead of Toure

[king7]

Real blow that Flanagan is out. Just hope Kelly can come in and do a similar impression. I don´t want to see Kolo on the right back, he doesn´t look comfortable there at all. Johnson´s been a bit out of form lately, but a switch to the other side might do him good. He´s sometimes been better at the left than on the right before.
