***Super Official Spuds vs Gods Own CITY Thread***

[Slim]

I think we'll line up something like this...

-----------------------Hart


Richards----Kompany----Lescott----Clichy


-------------------Yaya----Barry


Aguero-----------Tevez--------------Silva


------------------------Dzeko


Nasri I think will come off the bench for his first couple, AKAIK de Jong is still injured and Tevez needs to get back in the swing of being a City player...at least for the next 4 months.

I think Mancini said Tevez wasn't fit... I think we're gonna line up like this... Nasri likes to score against Spurs!

Richards----Kompany----Lescott----Clichy

------Nasri----------------------- Silva

-------------Augero

------------------------Dzeko

[Kladze]

I doubt that Tevez will start the game ............ but I stand to be corrected.

[StrikeAnywhere]

Any one reckon Balo will get a game today?

[Mark Garrett]

It should be same 11 as last Sunday with Tevez and Nasri on the bench. Will be a difficult game and I never have a good feeling about away to Spurs. I'd take a draw right now

[jono1978]

I think we will do fine today 2-0 win. Kun and silva goals of the month. Dodgey harry is even scared of us.

[Ted Hughes]

I would start with the same team which played Bolton. It did everything which a team needs to do in order to beat Spurs. Why change it if we don't need to ?

[Nickyboy]

Think it would be harsh to drop Milner after his performance last week and think we could do with his industry and mobility in midfield. especially against one of the better sides away from home.

Start the same as last week, and then get Nasri and Tevez on after an hour to shake things up. Maybe even give Ballo 20 mins as long as we're not forced into making any defensive changes.

Unfortunately those days are gone matey. It's pretty clear Mancini can and will pick a custom team depending on who we play. At the moment everyone is fit and ready bar Tevez, and if he had to play he would be fit enough imo. We can tweek to suit the competition and opponent. It also keeps everyone happy(ier).

[saulman]

Last spurs game 'arry said City have already 'made two signings that will blow your brains out'.
This around time it's 'Nasri wanted to join United'.

Whatever happens in the game, I hope someone just goes over and kicks his fuckin mouth shut.

[Renato_CTID]

Nor Tevez neither Nasri would begin the game today for me! I think Bobby Manc would confirm the same eleven who won at Notlob. Only a doubt between Milner or AJ!

Then you throw in the Nasri comment about him only coming for the money (after loaning Ade to them) then I'd throw in a few kidney punches as well.

[Mikhail Chigorin]

Just got a feeling Aguero might start on the bench, along with Tevez.

Nasri alongside Silva and Milner in a 5 man midfield, with Dzeko up front as the single striker.

Yeah that's fine. So why not pick the team which played v Bolton ? It played exactly the way you would want a team to play against Spurs. They fell apart in the last 30 mins v Utd so we could have Nasri, Tevez, Balotelli & Johnson to choose from in order to exploit that if needed.

Nobody is tired, we have an international break coming up where Tevez can get fit, Nasri can get another game with France to sharpen up, then we have a nice home game where Nasri & Tevez can play & Balotelli, AJ can come off the bench.

-----------------------Hart


Richards----Kompany----Lescott----Clichy


--------------Milner----Barry


Aguero-----------Nasri--------------Silva


-------------------Dzeko


If Dejong is fit then he goes in for Barry, Nasri to drop a bit deeper when needed and Kun and Silva to swap around/cause havoc. Richard and Clichy to bomb on giving a bit of width.

[Ted Hughes]

Tbf I forgot Kolarov was left back v Bolton; I'd have Clichy there. That would be my only change.

[Dameerto]

Has Nige recovered from whatever forced him off the last time he played? (bruised foot or whatever)

[PALUS]

okey today we will se how much we have chance for title after swansea and bolton if we play like that today we are on the way , and wath is the first 11 , tevez cant play with kun and dzeko its not realistic .....common city

[Green & Blue]

Has Nige recovered from whatever forced him off the last time he played? (bruised foot or whatever)

Not that i am aware of.I think he sat out training according to Dougs reports, if i remember correctly.

I hate playing Spurs but can't help but feel we are a far stronger side than them now.
