Man City Build up

[Molby]

The King reigns supreme in the interview stakes again !!

This would be a massive three points - fully dedicated to El Pistolero

Little Luis - You Don't Walk Alone.....The King made that abundantly clear....

[Mostar]

Firstly he gave him a look of utter contempt and disdain And then he said, with an angry tone: "I thought you'd ask the first question about the game, I'd built myself up to have that one about third"

It wasnt what he said as much as how he said it

Well done Kenny

It is about Cityh game and not about anything else atm.

Watching CDTKO so I don't have to listen to the likes of Redknapp.

No real speed up front,cannot see us hitting them on the break with Carroll up front I think we have a plan for a draw and that's it.

[Craig_H]

Ok fair enough.

The general tone I'm picking up is Kenny is appraching the game all wrong and we're gonna get stuffed because of it which I think is extremely unfair.

As the saying goes, you don't change a winning team, but with no choice over Bellamy it is good a have a big game player come in in his place (despite recent form).

I also said in another thread that I think this game could be the making of AC.

I've no qualms with Kenny for seeking defensive solidity. We're obviously going to try and attack at some point though, and i'd prefer that we did that with players who are of a higher quality and who, by being picked on the bench, are clearly available and ready to play should it be needed.

Redknapp talks bollox, loves the sound of his own voice, never says anything controversial and clearly has his eyes on a long punditry career for Sky and hedges his bets with whatever he says, can't stand the guy he's a gopher.

I thought the Andy Gray era was over.

I'd love for Carroll to give the City backline a nightmare. We need likes of Carroll/Downing,Hendo and Kuyt to stand up and be counted.

Needs some level of production for these lads.

[Buzzo]

This is an interesting game for me as we were totally murdered by them at home last season. It was the game where I personally realised Roy wasn't going to cut the mustard as tactically we were totally wrong that day. So this should provide indication of our improvement as I'd expect us to be tactically competitive tonight. I hope we have a go at them, but remember to keep the door slammed shut behind us.

Big game for Spearing and Adam tonight. Would like to see Downing (and Carroll) come out of his shell a bit more tonight, and for some reason I am quietly optimistic we can achieve some sort of result tonight.

Bring it on.

****ing give over. If Carroll gets injured within 10 mins, does Bellamy not come on? If Adam gets injured 5 mins in, doesnt Gerrard come on?

You do yourself a major disservice sometimes.

[RedReet]

Ok then.

[Craig_H]

Cant answer my questions then?

By your logic, we only have 5 subs in the first half

If someone gets injured early on, we've only 4 outfield players to choose from, as replacements.

[RedReet]

Really?

Ha ha, ok.
