***Manchester City*** v Aston Villa:Capital One Cup

[Goaters 103]

I'd go for:

Pantilimon
Zabaleta (have we got another right back available? Wabara is on loan at Oldham)
Kolo
Nastasic
Kolarov
Barry
Rodwell
Suarez
Sinclair
Balotelli
Tevez

Not a bad team that.

Razak will play instead of Barry, but otherwise that looks likely. Zabba is only fit right-back available, so likely plays by default unless we go 3-5-2.

Is this the Carling Cup?

Is this the Carling Cup?

No it's the Milk cup

[ashton287]

Play the kids. They will make all the mistakes the first team are making but they will actually put a bit of effort in and try to win.

[Original Dub]

No it's the Milk cup

That is wrong mate. Another trophy would be nice.

[mr fu]

We need to add this trophy to the domestic collection seeing as we haven't won it for 37 years

[Piccsnumberoneblue]

Play to win. This is possibly the only cup we'll win.

Bit depressed this evening mate?!!

[Wonderwall]

We should play our strongest 11 and get some continuity, form and cohesiveness. Now is not the time for wholesale changes when we need the first 11 to sort themselves out.

Spot on......my interest would return if Mancini did this....but unfortunately, he wont though.

[MR IMAINEROAD]

Any chance of Joan Rivers tonight?

Agreed, I know he will go with a 2nd choice 11, he admitted it earlier today.

If thats the case we will lose.

You can't change that much of the team and expect to see the 2nd coming of Barcelona. No doubt this place will go nuts when we play shit, can pass or defend and Balotelli gets sent off.

I'm sure its on a radio station tonight, might have heard them saying 5Live Extra??
