***Official City v Liverpool Match Thread***

[AG7]

Too negative. Three attacking players out of eleven.

I agree ... so Nasri and Tevez both kept on the bench I guess ... not very attacking up front.

SUBS: Pantilimon, Rodwell, Kolarov, Sinclair, Nasri, Tevez, Maicon

The only difference is Nasri. We don't play 3 strikers unless we're chasing the game.

Bull. Milner will play wide in an mostly attacking role.

The only difference is Nasri. We don't play 3 strikers unless we're chasing the game.

One could also hope that Milner is deployed as an offensive player. Then it's basically a modern variant of four four two.

[Risby]

I agree. An in form Milner provides a lot of threat and attacking intelligence.

Mostly attacking? Exactly.
We're at home to an inferior team ffs.

Welcome aboard pal, enjoy the rollercoaster of the Match Day Thread.

Four defenders. One defensive midfielder (optional) then five (or six) players to break them down.
Attack and we'll murder them. And anybody else for that matter.

40 minutes to go lads

[Hoorayforpeepee]

Win.Must.Game.

[Beefymcfc]

Can Carragher handle 2 games in a week?

And, we're going to have to get into their fullbacks early, we don't want Johnson or Enrique getting confident going forward.

I don't get the negativity towards that lineup

I think it's a good one

Me neither. I think it's more an observation of how Mancini has made a negative choice if you look at it from the perspective of Milner, Barry and Garcia.

A per-cursor to the aftermatch debate, if you will.

[london blue 2]

I hate playing Liverpool. One of their players will have a stormer.

Why does the donkey keep getting picked ahead of Carlos....bollocks

We struggle to break teams down. We have juat three genuine attack minded players. Whats hard to understand?

[Luke11993]

I no it's not completely to do with this thread but Ivory Coast one down can't be bad if they lose get yaya back can it?

This is the first time in ages. Previously our top scorer was being played alongside Carlos mate.
