Predictions V Poznan

[trout man]

The reason I started this thread is that the bookies are basically giving Poznan no chance of winning this match and have them at 9/2 to win with City 6/4 on and Poznan are 11/1 to win 1-0 or 22/1 to win 2-0. Considering some of the results Poznan have had I feel these odds are skewed but its not like the bookies (Boylesports) to get it this wrong. Obviously I am not going to bet against City but i would be interested to hear what people think about this.

Adebayor, Silva

2-2 and we'll be feeling lucky to get away from there with a point.

I'm with fatso on this one.

Poznan have a new coach today I see. They must've fired the last one due to being 3rd bottom of the league. Poland is currently a weak football country and Poznan a weak team within that, so I'm still with the bookies on this, even allowing for our current dire form.

Expecting a ding-dong game and for us to come out on top of it.
I rekon it will suit us and will be seen as one of the games where a portion of the squad began to click.

SWP to open the scoring.

I believe you can go with adopted poles, I think they only have 4 polish players in their entire squad.

I believe you can go with adopted poles, I think they only have 4 polish players in their entire squad.

And as the icing on the cake a seriously doubt that any of the four is from Poznan.
The "local kid" is not around that much in world football these days, correct me if wrong.
CTID!!

1-1....I fancy a headed goal from one of the back 4.Its well overdue.

[Mark Garrett]

Think it's going to be a very difficult game with 40,000 poles against us. I'd take a point.

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

We will be uninspiring.

[simon12]

We will be uninspiring.

Does this mean you all think our players will turn up cos apparantley they don`t want to play for the manager. I agree with Piccs a drab

lech walensa 0 - 1 City

[Douglas Higginbottom]

I don't feel confident about this one.I think Mancini will be fielding a weakened side as he sees the priority very much as the next 2 prem games.

LP 2 v 1 City Jo to score

[Alioune DVToure]

Lech Poznan 1-2 City

Adebayor and Johnson to score.
