4-4-2?

I really didn't see that one coming. We've played with one striker the whole pre-season, not to mention last season.

Be afraid,.....be VERRRRY afraid.

And with SWP's continuing poor form, our right flank looks very exposed
(Toure must have won the coin toss with Dunne!)


WTF, give the guy a break, not even kicked off yet and numpties on players backs!

I expect -

Given

Richards Dunne Toure Bridge

Barry

Ireland SWP

Bellamy Robinho

Adebayor

as a 4-3-3

you might be right. either way, it's a very attacking eleven, especially for an away game. I like it!

Welcome to City life in Oz Mark. I'm giving up sobbing quietly whilst I abuse my sorry excuse for manhood in the darkest corner of my room to watch this. Hope it's worth my while City. Please make it worth my while City.


There we go, all sorted.
