coda Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 --------------------------Friedel------------------------------------- Walker----------Dunne------------Collins---------------Clark Young-------Petrov------------Makoun/NRC-------Downing ---------------Bent----------------Gabby------------- This is what I'd do. With Gabby dropping a bit deep to collect the ball. Nice looking team that. Reason being - City's weak point has to be their defence. They will almost definitely score against us, so we just have to outscore them. I think the guy with money on 3-2's in for a shout i dont really know how you come up with that 1. along with sunderland we have the most clean sheets ...11 2. along with united we have conceded the least ...19 You've conceded seven goals in your last three games against the might of Wolves and Leicester.

Spl1304 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Wrak link is definately defence mate. Gonna get ripped apart. Spend £137million on 6 strikers, but you ent gonna win a thing untill you get a couple of half decent defenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Hopefully Mancini treats us like we're United/Arse and just sits as many people behind the ball as possible, can't see that though. Think City might nick this 1-2/1-3..or 1-1. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtsimonw Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Weak link is definitely the worst part of their side. Lescott/Toure really aren't that great and Kolarov can't cope with pace. Hope Albrighton plays because he'll rip him apart. I'm with Joe, though, City to win 2/3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Bent's arrival will help to raise the atmosphere but I still think we will lose. If Tevez plays we just have to put a man on him (Reo Coker?) and let his sole purpose be to stop him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Those of you that are Man Shitty fans here just to get a reaction will be bored with this. Just so we play well. Obviously better to win, but won't really be too upset about the result in this one. We can't possibly have a great understanding amongst the attack or the defense, so a few moments of real connection is all I need to see at this point. If they result in some great goals and great team defense and a win that's certainly better, but not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 although it would be nice...i cant see a Bent Gabby partnership working..... both very similar players apart from Bent having better movement..... neither are particularly amazing in the air or have the footballing intelligence/trickery to link up well together...... id be tempted to go match Citehs formation and at least start with --------------Friedel--------------- Walker------Dunne------Cuellar-------Clark ------Petrov----Makoun/NRC--------Downing----- Gabby---------------------------------------Young----- ------------------Bent------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizme Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 we will lose, probably 2-0 city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncy_chris Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 When's Heskey back? Would be interested to see how we works with Bent. I don't think a Gabby/Bent front 2 will work, but we will probably have to play this game on the counter so maybe play SB's team with Gabby on the right, but put Young behind Bent.

theboyangel Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I thought Bent worked quite well with Wellbeck and they're both similar players - there's no reason why Gabby and Bent couldn't work together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
