portsmouth game

[Fish111]

They're in that much dissarray they won't notice ;-) I've just dropped Bellamy, poor sod, he's always the fall guy.

[dick dastardley]

DeJong may come in for some grit in midfield, zabba maybe right back and adebayor rested for the palace game

[Dazzacity]

Just rang up about this.. Current allocation has been sold out!! But said they should get more in. Ill ring again tomo.

[Ted Hughes]

Is Hrrreidddrrsssnnnn still there? If so I'd put SWP wherever he is & skin the fkr. I'd also play Micah to watch him at corners.

Same team as Wolves for me, perhaps tinker with formation eg play Tevez a bit deeper to help MF.

[Beeks]

There is never a better time to play Pompey at the moment

[Mark Garrett]

I'd be tempted to play De Jong to give us a bit more protection in front of the back 4. Will still have enough attacking talent left on the pitch to pose problems.

I think it will be the same starting 11 as the wolves game. The score, im going to go for 3-0 to City and hope that Tevez gets on the score sheet along with Roby and Ade .

Zabaleta Toure Lescott Bridge

SWP de Jong Petrov

Tevez Adebayor Robinho

I just think he needs to change a few players occasioanlly and neither Barry or Ireland have done anything wrong, but then again they haven't been in matchwinning form either, I would keep our best defence, but mix and match the attack and midfield for each game.

Pompey are struggling already, i'd go for the throat straight away and destroy them.

Looks great for me.

Bad news - one of our nemesis could be facing us on Sun - Pompey trying to sign Michael Brown - I hope we stamp on his fuclin windpipe the little shit - only EVER pulls his tripe out against us - without doubt our most loathesome ex-player

well, that is the no 1 line up. so yeah, totally agree.

[play like we dream]

Same side as v Crystal Palace. They need playing time together. Lescott needs to understand the back four and his link to Barry. Be a similar game: they'll think they can have a go and see themselves as underdogs with nothing to lose. We will be paid the same kind of 'compliment', in this regard as Chelsea etc.

Zabaleta Toure Lescott Bridge
SWP Ireland Barry Bellamy
Adebayor Tevez

Pretty sure that I heard Robinho had picked up a knock at Palace. If he is ok, he plays instead of Bellamy. I'd play Zabaleta rather than Richards, just think he is better defensively and we have an ambundance of attacking options.

Midfield stays the 'same' though De Jong may start to wonder when he is going to get more than a few minutes and of course we have Kompany to come back too. Must be hard to be the Manager and to make the decisions but hey someone's got to do it!

Objective - win, clean sheet, no bookings. Be good if Adebayor can continue his league goal scoring form, always good to see one of ours at the top of the scoring charts. Prediction 3-0 for City.
