Im not expecting any points from this game - i just cant see us finding a fighting attitude at the moment

[btajim]

i suppose by attacking, i reallly meant attacking formation and attitude.. ie playing higher up the pitch for a start.

i think RSC is still crocked. We might see Aj and SWP to start, and Bellers to come on later, or vice versa.

but it looks like it will be Ade up on his own. Thats fine if we can float him a good ball he has every chance to slam it in as he has shown.

If Santa Cruz is crocked then we only have one fully fit and available senior Striker. Mr Emmanuel Adebayor. All "10 Strikers" one minute and now just one Guy!

Even a loan replacement for Robinho would have been welcome.

[Mike J]

my one complainty is that id rather have micah than zabba. other than that the lineup is good.

I am the same mate, he must be carrying a knock as he played great last time out.

[brite blu sky]

good line up given the circumstances.

Zabba has a bit more composure on the ball, which might have edged it for him.

good to see the Man take the decision over Toure

[dazby]

Come on you blue boys!!!! Do it for yourselves, do it for the fans, do it for blue in general, just do it.

[Tony P]

ONly two defensive midfielders? Robbie Manc out!!!!!

[Yesterdays Game...]

Kompany and Lescott at CB, been wanting this all season personally so we will see, just believe Kompany can boss defence which will leave Lescott to do his business in the air like in his Everton days

Nice to see Ireland been given a chance presumably attacking midfielder behind Ade

got a good feeling about this now just hope our midfield can cope with Gerrard if hes on a good day

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Come on City we can do this, i don't want none of this defending shit, attack attack attack is what we want.

[ant london]

Really really happy with that team selection.

Commentator on the OS is actually thinking that will line up as 4-4-1-1 (with Ireland behind Ade)

I think that could work really well....it's certainly a much more positive potential line-up

Cmon City....let's put a fucking marker down today

[Nick]

not there today as in Cyprus - wish the boys well and I will be singing away in the Pig & Whistle

Where abouts is that mate
