Can't keep everyone on the bench..

Right. So you think City will field six of Emmanuel Adebayor, Mario Balotelli, Craig Bellamy, Edin Dzeko, Roque Santa Cruz, Alex Tchuimeni-Nimely, Carlos Tevez and Kun Aguero in the same starting XI then....

If you say so...

[McDermotX]

Good start.......cut to pieces

Of course not..

But when they strim that squad down, they will not have those attacking options..

So who goes?

[Leyton388]

Baros doing what he does best.

[Muddled]

Turan runs straight at the heart of our defence in the first 30 seconds and sets up Baros, who hasn't changed much; head down and hit ... wide.

Why are you so utterly obsessed with what Man City do?? I'm sure if they leave out the likes of Bellamy, Santa Cruz and Alex Tchuimeni-Nimely, they'll cope. It'll only leave them with Adebayor, Balotelli, Dzeko and Aguero - assuming Carlos Tevez leaves. A better strikeforce than us, still. I think they may just manage.

You think they wont win the league because they have a lot of strikers. Fair enough. I think having good depth and quality upfront is more of an asset than a liability. Each to their own. I'm bored of this utterly bizarre discussion, so i'm leaving it there mate. Crack on...

**** me, least inspiring team lineup i've ever seen, i know it's pre season and Kenny wants to get players fitness levels up but this is truly awful, we're at the point in pre-season now where we should be going with our strongest lineup and bringing others on later in the match

Theres two other games after this to be fair, and this friendly was arranged only this month, probably unwanted but they offered us decent money or something.

Horrific line up

Not sure what benefit we get from this game with that line up.

[Mostar]

I'd be happy if we cross the half time 20 times in first 45 minutes.

[Muddled]

I'm willing to open up a book on the minute Joe Cole places his hands on his hips and starts wheezing; I'm going for the 17th minute.

Poulsen got to the seventh minute before looking completely off the pace.

I'm not..

I was replying to your post..

I stated how many striking options they had and you said that was a good thing..

Don't try and twist it..



Crack on..

Back off yer Jollies are yeh..

[Mostar]

Nice goal by Baros.

[Chris]

Insua doesnt change much! Done badly there.
