and as for boyata at full back im sure he will be fine as he was against chelsea earlier this season

With Spurs game in hand being against Arsenal and our far better goal diffeence, this game could put us, notionally, 7 clear.

Can't frickin wait!

The initial team Mancini worked with yesterday had all 3 strikers in it and no Silva ( but AJ was). Surely he won't go with that formation?

That could be a decent formation to put the emphasis on attack, keeping them away from our goal. I can't see it though, maybe plan B if we're losing.

On another note, has anyone seen who are the pundits on Sky for this match? None other than the Rat-Face himself ably assisted by Chris 'I scowl everytime I hear the name, City' Coleman! You couldn't get a worse pairing for our game if you tried. Oh wait, Sky did.

We have to put in a top class performance today, not just for the points or getting us flying again but because that fcuk phil chuckle is in the commentry box at Eastlands! Have to see how the rag reject can cope giving us any praise - hope it gets stuck in his throat!

Attacking team, very good to see! Prefer to see Edin in over Bolotelli but I suppose he owes us a performance. COME ON BLUES!

Fuck yeah......if Balotelli pulls his finger out!

No Milner or Barry in the starting 11 is a bit of a surprise though!

Honestly not an entirely unwelcome surprise. Our entire front 5 is attacking and I can see us blowing Sunderland away. Boyata hat trick, balo and aj to score

Out of interest why is that rag twat, Neville, doing punditry for our match?

Is having non biased people commenting on our games now illegal?

Sky hate us don't they.

Really exited about our setup today, offensive looking team and a youngster in there.. Maybe Mancini has taken the critisism to heart? (Or more likely this was exactly his plan all along, he does not seem like a guy bowing to preassure).
