*****Bayern MUNICH v Man City***** official Match day thread

[King Kev]

Same starting XI as Saturday except Kolo comes in for Lescott.

[twosips]

Team's announced...

same as the weekend...BUT...Kolo in for Lescott :O

Didn't see that one coming.

[CityGer]

Kolo in for Lescott.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Only an hour to go, can't wait, done fuck all today in anticipation of this game. Think this will be a very different game to Napoli and we should get more space in attack, saying that we could really do with De Jong back for tonight, our defense will be under some real pressure.

Same here... I'm in the office and I'm about to fuck off.

[Mase]

Got to be an injury surely??? Or maybe that nodding off Lescott did at the end of the match at the weekend had an influence?

[carl_feedthegoat]

I see Mancini got my email.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Slightly surprised but not totally.Mancini did say something last week about Kolo needing games and he would either play Everton or Munich. Sounds like he was always going to play this one.Hope it works out well.

Lescott is the weak link but Kolo has played virtually no football. Could be a mistake this...

But Lescott was outclassed against Napoli, more of a PL defender

[Kladze]

If that's a tactical switch rather than injury inspired, I'd say it's a heck of a gamble - hope it comes off.

He wasnt but never mind it's an interesting choice.

A bit harsh but he is nowhere for the goal, thought he looked lumbering against Napoli

Just watched the replay.....totally his fault for that goal.

[Moonchesteri]

All of my earlier confidence has vanished completely. but let's enjoy this nonetheless. Come on City!!

[13021J]

Robben will come on at some stage on the right, Mancini obv didn't think Lescott could handle that

[King Kev]

I don't agree with the criticism of Lescott, I can't see what he has done wrong.

I hope Kolo's up to it.

[Slim]

Lapses in concentration at times, not that Kolo isn't prone to the odd howler.

[lets all have a disco]

If your watching on the tele your a....oh.


Come on blues i know you can do this.

[twosips]

Lescott's done fuck all wrong this year - imo he's been better than VK so far this season. Vinnie's not reached last year's levels yet.

[s1ty m]

Enjoyed a top birthday day out today, just put the beers in the fridge just need City to top my day off with a win.

Happy birthday, mate. It's mine too.
