***Norwich vs City Official Match Thread***

Agree Herb - perfect game for him to make a start, should get plenty of ball!

0-3 i'm feeling! Jojo and Negrado brace

I'd also stick with Vinnie and Nasti at the back, we need to make the best of what we have - although Vinnie and Lescott is out best available pairing there's no doubt that at sone stage we will need ti rely on Nasti so the game time will be important.

Would like to see Milner get some game time from the bench in readiness of Weds where id hope to see him start vs Sunderland.

Got a bad feeling about this game. I can see us winning it 0-3 but I reckon the Norwich chairwoman will beat our chairman in the half-time 'How Fast Can You Boil An Egg' competition....

I'm expecting to see us bounce back with a comfortable win today.When we lost to Chavs earlier in the season we beat Norwich in the following game 7-0 more of the same today please lads.We can afford the loss of players like Nasri, Fernandinho and Aguero against most sides and have way too much for them regardless.

Hope to see Jovetic partnering Negredo today.Joseph Yobo could be making his debut, I could see them causing him nightmares.

Speaking of Nigerians, does anyone know when that young Nigerian superstar kid is joining up with the EDS? Has he already arrived?

Just had a very large bet on City getting a result at Carrow Road today.

Fingers crossed.

There are rumoured to be two or three.

Iheanacho (sp) is apparently not old enough to join yet for some reason, so will arrive when he is 18, which is in about 9 months I think. Perhaps a similar situation with the others ?

@MCFC: CITY: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (c), Demichelis, Clichy, Navas, Milner, Toure, Silva, Jovetic, Negredo #norwichvcity

COME ON CITY!!

[Slim]

Lineup in the OP.

[South Stand Balti]

@MCFC: CITY: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (c), Demichelis, Clichy, Navas, Milner, Toure, Silva, Jovetic, Negredo #norwichvcity COME ON CITY!!

That's a strong team. Well done MP. Glad to see key players are not being rested. Can't mess about today. Come on Blues!!

I agree completely. Now we can also quite nicely so some rotating for Wed without weakening team with GC/AK and AN/ED. Maybe PZ/MR as well.
Unfortunately it's difficult to find replacements for some other key members like Silva and Yaya but let's take one game at a time!

[blues2win]

Great to see Jovetic starting and Jimmy coming in. De Michelis in defence? We're stuck till the end of the season in that position and it could really cost us but this team is good enough to beat Norwich.

[ruralblue]

Strong line up and relief to see Milner in with yaya if it meant demi can move back alongside Komps and Nasty doesn't start.

Hope we proper rack up some good goals today to put monday behind us!

[Twobob]

@MCFC: CITY: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (c), Demichelis, Clichy, Navas, Milner, Toure, Silva, Jovetic, Negredo #norwichvcity COME ON CITY!!

I like that lineup a great deal - time for Jovetic to really show MP what he can do today and a solid performance from Milner is needed.

Come on City!

[PeterParker]

This is the lineup that should had been on monday.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

@MCFC: CITY: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (c), Demichelis, Clichy, Navas, Milner, Toure, Silva, Jovetic, Negredo #norwichvcity

COME ON CITY!!

Milner presumably in a central midfield position? Hope so, I reckon he's better in there than anywhere else on the pitch.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Can see us coming back firing tonight. Getting pumped.

Agree. Milner is a fantastic player with great vision. I hope he's not marginalised on the wing today.

[bayblue]

Big chance for Milner today. Hope he does well.

[blues2win]

Milner playing defensive midfield according to Pellegrini. He hasn't got the physique to match the likes of Luiz or Matic but he should be able to cope against Norwich. I think Garcia would have played if fit. Rodwell should be playing today really; he's much more natural there than Milner. Trouble is he was so shit when he got the chance in the Cup that he can't really complain.
