Man City - Build Up Thread

[The_weatherman]

--------------------Mig------------------

Manqillo-----Skrtel-------Lovren----Moreno

------------------Gerrard-----------------

------Henderson-----------Allen----------

-----------------Sterling-----------------

-------Sturridge---------Balotelli---------

Bench - Jones, Sakho, Johnson, Can, Coutinho, Markivich, Lambert.

Pretty strong I would say. Who drops out for Lallana when he returns ?

This is excellent, Lallana, Lucas, Toure, Suso, Enrique and Flanagan are outside the squad there.

We're gonna win the League

That's a sweet lineup.

I like this but id have Sakho over Skrtel. The diamond has worked for us in the past. I'd say Lallana would slot in brilliantly in the Allen position when he is back and could even form a 4-4-2 shape when defending. Lallana and Sterling would drift wide. Its exciting to have so many options now.

Allen

[Gibbo]

I still think he's gonna start Johnson.

[ChesterDave]

What a horrifying thought

[Fierce]

Not sure I want to see Coutinho start on the bench either, he destroyed them both games last season

[dizzycat]

Mario will influence this game even if he doesn't play. Noone will be talking about the match.

[Red_Polo]

I still think he's gonna start Johnson.

I think he probably will too. I get the impression (admittedly off the back of next to **** all) the hope is for Manquillo will give Johnson a kick up the arse and offer quality cover rather than take his place.

Hopefully he kicks him up the arse so hard he lifts Johnson off the floor and he lands on the subs bench.

I'm definitely all out of patience with him. Not sure what he needs to get going. Might be another club that does it, if anything does. This 'dip in form' has gone on far too long.

As much as i hate to say it I think Rodgers will go with the experience of Johnson at RB.

I don't see him going with two fullbacks who are new to the league, so I am fairly confident Johnson will start I don't know if it will be RB or LB though.
