Man City Build up

[Muddled]

No defensive mid? we would lose by a cricket score

A five man midfield and the meanest defence in the Premiership?

When did Spearing get such a reputation?

Genuine question Rabiosa:

Do you play the reverse psychology angle, in hoping for the worse and not tempting fate, or are you generally pessimistic?

I feel less dissapointed if i say we are going to lose, i never get my hopes up.

That's the spirit.

Our next game is Oldham in 5 days. And then the next one is 5 days later than that.

I see no reason why Gerrard and Bellamy cant play, given they'll get 8 days of rest after tonight.

How do you work that out when we play Oldham on the 6th and today is the 3rd?

Mostar - are you recording tonights game?

[Rabiosa]

Reina
Johnson Skrtel Agger Enrique
Spearing Adam
Gerrard
Suarez ------- Downing
Carroll

[Norbs]

Good news if true.

Perhaps it could be:

Defence

-- Henderson -- Adam --
Downing - Gerrard - Maxi
--------- Suarez

I'd like us to build on the instant click between Carroll and Gerrard and would stick Gerrard on the right of midfield where he'll be a little more protected away from the center. I'd put Maxi on the left and play Suarez behind Carroll, to force a few free kicks close to the D. In the middle it's got to be Spearing and Adam

Carroll has be crying out for the type of crosses Stevie can deliver

Right, so our game is weirdly on the Friday and not the Sunday (which would have been in 5 days time). The main point (that the next meaningful game is 8 days away) still stands, whether you're being a pedant or otherwise.

Yep.
