Man City game

[BG1973]

this will be an interesting test of Robinho's character. Personally I don't think we should worry too much about him, play our game and he won't get a sniff (famous last words..just in case I have crossed my fingers and am standing on one leg).

Lets just hope we have more luck this time than last season..that was a ridiculous game.

I've been there for the last few years and it's almost always been 0-0. In fact the last two have been 0-0.

I'm not going on Sunday so I can guarantee there will be goals.

Anyone seen Citys line-up tonight? Resting a lot of players?

[Shaggy]

Looks a strong side to me. Dunne out with a minor injury.

Man City: Hart, Zabaleta, Richards, Ben-Haim, Garrido, Wright-Phillips, Ireland, Kompany, Elano, Robinho, Jo. Subs: Schmeichel, Michael Ball, Petrov, Fernandes, Hamann, Evans, Sturridge.

Good, hope they are pushed all the way tonight

I'd play Riera, he'd have a point to prove.

[Shaggy]

Massive selection dilemma. I can't make my mind up which way I'd like to see us go. I'd start Riera though, definitely.

[pondus]

Elano and Wright-Phillips have scored so City are through with half an hour of the game left.

no way drop keane.

drop alonso if anyone.

tbh, im not worried at all the different strokes fella. our defence plus alonso can handle their attacking threat.

sometimes, and this im convinced is one of them, offence is the best defence. we can put 3 or 4 past these with the attacking 5 (incl gerrard) we have currently.

The little Cypriots have scored at City!
