***City v Fulham - Official Match Thread***

[Cit.revenge]

So we play now 451 , i like it , from what i saw against Hull it works.

[Dameerto]

Interesting, that suggest Silva playing behind a striker.

Or Nasri playing off the shoulder.

you're right, was overlooking the right side for some reason. I automatically think Navas is there even when he's not in the team.

Negredo for Dzeko screws up my fantasy team. Might be a good game for him to find his form again, though.

[Sideshow Bob]

Milner, silva and Nasri=no width. Also surprised that Garcia isn't playing.

@MCFC: SUBS NEWS: Pantilimon, Boyata, Clichy, Rodwell, Navas, Garcia, Jovetic #cityvfulham #mcfc. Sorry worse news for you. No dzeko.

[Slim]

A rare Rodwell sighting though.

[Saul Goodman]

@MCFC: TEAM NEWS: Hart, Zabaleta, Lescott, Demichelis, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Toure, Milner, Nasri, Silva, Negredo #cityvfulham #mcfc

I hope Jovetic can get 15-20

I assume Dzeko was one of the two players that got a minor injury on Wed. that Doug referred to in his training report?
Edit correction Doug has said he wasn't one of those players!

No he wasn't but Lescott was and Jovetic finished training half way through the session.That's part of the reason I don't mention who they are because it's not clear what's a real problem and what isn't sometimes.

it's not injury ,he's sick.

[PeterParker]

How is the weather in Manchester? Clear? Windy? I hope Jovetic is safe from any gust of wind.

@EdDzeko: Not the best thing to be sick on the match day [FACE WITH COLD SWEAT] today will have to support my team mates only from my home,watching on tv[PENSIVE FACE]
Good luck @MCFC

[phips]

we need to absolutely batter this team.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Every game feels like do or
Die right now. C'mon lads rise to the challenge!

[PaulieIrish]

Hoping Neggers re-finds his touch today - maybe the recent 'season's best signing' award will do him good.

Other than that, predicting 3-0 with Millner, Nasri and Yaya on the sheet...

Come on City!

PS. Gonna be over for the S'hampton game - can't wait!

It was raining at lunchtime while they were presenting Football Focus from the Etihad.

[Beefymcfc]

Come on City!!!

[Slim]

Did you see Hart pass the ball out to that kid? Worst distribution ever!

[Manx Blue]

I've picked up the Canal + stream from France, intriguingly entitled "Match of Ze Day"
