***Official Manchester City vSSC Napoli match thread***

Its still a strong side but i have to say i would have rathered Micah and Clichy in the starting line up, especially Clichy as he has bags of champions league experience.

Yupp definitely on Clichy. I could maybe understand Micah because he could have a slight injury. But personally I want to be scaring teams with the full backs bombing forward. I would generally use Zab and Kol for games where we will NEED to defend.

I agree strong side, Richards and Clichy would have been the icing on the cake so to speak.

come on cityyyyyyyyyyyy!!!

interesting squad...

[Mase]

Genuinely thought Balo was going to get a start.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Don't forget Kolarov has CL experience as well. I was surprised when they lined up in training with those 2 full backs and maybe thought that wouldnt actually happen but when Mancini had Kolarov by his side for the interviews I thought he would play.

Im watching it on here right now..sky sports 2...Not tried this river before but it will be ok just to watch the buildup if nothing else.

Not even a sub.

Same, Richards I get..plus Zabba wont attack as much and can be back to defend...but Kolarov over Clichy?
Kolarov is a much more offensive minded player than Clichy...I dont understand. I wouldve though that we would want
Clichy back to defend and help with Lavezzi down the flank. Plus, Clichy is definitely fast enough to go partially
forwards and then get back....plus his champs experience.

Interesting move by Mancini. Glad Barry is in the squad. Big boost vs. Hamsik and Cavani in the middle

could you pass me a linky?

[carl_feedthegoat]

Zabba I dont mind vut Kolorov over Clichy????...not too happy with that to be honest but not suicidal either as I recall Kolorov had a blinder the last time he played.....lets see.

doug did bobby change something with those 2 full backs or is it the same tactics as when micah and clichy are starters?

He's suspended, due to that red card vs Kiev last seasson.

I was alarmed initially about Kolorov over Clichy but i suppose he made his name playing in serie a.Quite looking forward to seeing how he gets on now, squad game and all that....
