Yeah that's more like it.
Although I'd have SWP instead of Petrov and switch flanks with Johnson.
However, if we go with a diamond, I want Ireland at the top of it and Vieira behind.

Actually you are right and even before I read your post I wanted to edit my post because I changed my mind, this is how I would play:
--------------Given
Onouha Toure Lescott Bridge
--------------Vieira
-----SWP-------------Johnson
-------------Ireland
--------Tevez-----Adebayor
However I fear Mancini won't start with SWP or Ireland. :(

Hi Garry,I just wanted to shake your hand and ask you a question.I go to COMS as mucha as possible but sometimes I cannot leave the house as Sophie.....sorry..Sophie is my Cat...... needs a carer when Im away and sometimes I cannot find one.
My question is ; Is it possible to bring Sophie to matches at COMS in her kitten box and can she come in for free?

RSC gives the team a lot more. hopefully he'll last more than five minutes this time.
would not have barry at LB, bridge is a good player imo.

Barry for left back scares me as he is so slow. Bridge is the man there. Not sure what role Mancini sees for Vieira either. We desperately need some real link from midfield to attack which is missing at the mo.Plus we have Tevez and Ade who seem to be struggling to hit it off.I still feel our best formation is 4.3.3 but Mancini doesnt seem to like it.
As for Boyata I saw plenty of posts praising him and righlty so to a point. He did ok for his lack of experience and youth but the praise did go a little too far and now we start to see the critcism going a bit too far the other way. I thik he will be at his best witrh a a strong attacking partner like Vinnie much more than a sweeper type quiet center back like Kolo.Good prospect and good cover but not quite ready yet.

really i would like toure out of the side. Vinnie should be first chioce CB but obv injured.
RSC for Ade if fit.
avoidconfusion wrote:I must say I am surprised by the amount of stick Boyata is getting from some people on here as well.
I thought for a young lad like him who has only played 4-5 games now in the senior team he has done very well.
He is obviously still very nervous, something that will go away with experience, but I still think he did well. It didn't help him that the ref against Hull was a complete dickhead and showing cards to City players left right and center for ridiculous things, whereas Hull's players got away with murder (especially that pikey scum Hunt).
Getting a yellow card so early in the game for something so ridiculously harmless probably made him even more nervous.
Still, I do not understand why Nedum is not picked now that he is fit.
