Mario playing would be a massive boost for United, even before putting a foot on the pitch. Taggart would ensure his players targeted Mario in order to get him sent off, that's what Taggart does, every dirty trick in the book. Taggart's biggest fear is seeing us play how we've been playing since Carlos has returned, turning defences inside out. He couldn't believe his lucky stars when Tevez did one and now he's cursing his luck that he's returned. It's his team that are having the wobbles now, not ours.

I'd suggest that Mario may get a place on the bench and will only get a run-out if the game's not going our way, or possibly to waste a bit of time in the last 10. If we're leading, Mancini will try and close the game out which will see more defensive substitutions brought on. Mario won't be one of them.

Whether it always happens is another matter but that has been the strategy all season. Even though it has not always succeeded, it has succeeded enough to put us still with a chance of finishing top.

It is easy to say. you mark him and you double up on him and you don't go forward in case he does this...You end up with players all over the place, your game plan fucked and you are playing to their game plan.

It ids part of our basic strategy to attack through the middle and use Micah and Clichy out wide in attack. I know you have missed this because you have been screaming for width all season. Micah, (Zaba), Clicy (Kolarov|) are our wide men. It is important that they get upfield. If they do so often enough, it pushes Valencia back to cover them, negates his offence and he plays where we want him...in his own half. Asserting our strategy not his.

I want width from wingers, not fullbacks.

I honestly feel if we can contain Valencia (easier said than done) We can contain United. He's by far and away their biggest threat and always seems to have good games against us.


well, in perhaps the most dubious of posts in my humble mcf.net career i pretty much agree with you on both counts.

Yes to Balo.
Shackle Valencia.

i believe that the rags will play for a draw with a 5 man midfield, and i think the counterbalance to that is Agueo and Balo up front and Tevez in the hold behind them. If we play this conservatively and play Barry and NDJ i think we've made a tactical error which will play into their hands to gum it up, kick us when they need to and hope to nick the odd goal on the counter or from a set piece, which they easily can do.



Balotelli should be nowhere the squad never mind the team , if Mancini is the man then it will happen.

It wil be the end of Mancini if Balotelli is anywhere near the team on Monday.


if we play an attacking team that is clearly set out to ravage them, i think they've got zero chance of winning this match.

One could argue Nasri in midifield instead of Balo, and with Tevez alongside Kun, but i really think that Tevez thwarting their midfield with his tactics and pushing forward can be the difference maker. His service to Kun and Balo will net goals.

Paint half of Robertos face blue, Give him a sword and tell him to shout (in a Mel Gibson accent)

"Lower your flags and march straight back to Salford, stopping at every home you pass by to beg forgiveness for a hundred years of theft, rape, and murder. Do that and your men shall live. Do it not, and every one of you will get humilated, stuffed, pissed upon and shat on. And that bacon faced cunt will have the heart attack to end all heart attacks. And City will at last stand tall and carry the pride of Manchester throughout the land and overseas; and the scum will fuck off, never again to rise above the level of shit that lies at the bottom of the deepest ocean where they belong.

They may take our lives............................. but they'll never take our CITY".

just watched the latest Inside City episode and have say I'm really chuffed seeing a bit of the old magic returning to Silva, as advised by DH.

also lovely to see glimpses of what would be if by a chance we actually succeed to rip Tevez off Kia's hands, in the final bits regarding the CitC event.

1. "unintelligible language"
2. "ACID QUEEN"
3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City

You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...


In Roger Ailes/Donnie Drumpf's words: "don't know it for a fact, but many people say so..."
there must be some truth, then!

Ballo is not the man for Monday. Our recent success has been built on our Gaucho Guerrillas...Aguero and Tevez. To spoil that would be suicidal. Leave well alone...it ain't broke. Ballo is not the man for the tight situations, those little one twos and jinky little runs that nip in and out of the tiny gaps. That is not Ballo's forte but it is for Aguero and Tevez, backed by Silva. Even Nasri is better suited to that type of battlefield.

BRF,
I know you have a massive respect for all things rag, you have made that very plain over the months but you can have too much respect for an opponent, to the detriment of yourself.
Whatever Valencia can and can't do, we have the quality players that have to do what City do. Ifwe do that and we do it well, we assert our authority onto the game. They then have to contain us.


I think Balotelli would not be as much of a gamble as reaction on here suggests, It would be a gamble but not that much, he has played fine v the rags before, so what has changed. Anyway it is academic cos he wont start. Why because Mancini doesn't NEED to start him, he has Tevez now instead. If Bob is hinting Mario could play it is just to wind up the rags with their prep.

As for Valencia, I'll give that he occasionally gets a reasonable cross in but ffs he is generally garbage. No need at all for special treatment. Hopefully the fat bastard wont even see the ball and will be chasing shadows all game. He is another defensive liability as well so I hope they play him.

Then you're a fucking idiot.
He's been by far and away their best player this season. That's where United's threat is.

He doesn't usually perform against us tbh. Young's the better player, albeit a diving cunt.

It's starting to get to me now but I just cannot see them being good enough to beat us. They will score but our defence and hart are more than capable of keeping them quiet for most of the game and our attack should rip through Ferdinand and Evans with relative ease.


I don't care if Webb isn't starting I am expecting a fucking ridiculous decision to help them out. They haven't had a penalty for a game and a half now so they are due 2.
