Not big changes we can make from the bench though if we have to. Such a shame Sandro didn't make it.

I seriously doubt he would have started even if deemed fit - this formation and personnel was always on the cards.

This is one of those rare games that I don't care about how we play as long as we win. I want revenge for the home game.

If we score one goal, we are going to have to score another one or 2 very soon after to give us some breathing space. Man Shitty are at home and they will put us under enormous pressure. Not drawn and not loss at home all season and we need to pull something special out of the hat today and I think we can.

COYS!!

I'm not nervous as I know there is no way this game can be worse than a 5-1 home defeat so I'm just well up for it!

Aside from Adebayor I think that's the best first team we have. COYS!

Fuck me, the subs bench has no pace and that is exactly what we need against Man Shitty.

Who with real pace could we put on the bench thats isnt currently on loan or injured? The only candidate really would be Rose and even he isnt that quick.

I'm still terrified, can't quite shake the memory of that first game against man city.

I can only hope that our squad is braver than I am, because if we want to win this game we need to be fearless!

This is not a 4-4-2. We will play a 4-2-3-1 with Mods and Parker sitting when we don't have the ball and VDV, Bale and Lennon pushing up to support JD.

Harry will know that VDV won't stay up with JD anyway so it isn't even worth trying to play him as a proper striker.

City will line up exactly the same the only differences being that they have more fluidity in their 3 attacking players and a target man striker.

The teams are extremely evenly matched imo and I really believe that we can and will win!

Big pitch, Lennon and Bale on the wings, Modders and Parker in the middle, Defoes and Rafas movement against a team without their two best players through the middle, we know their not gonna park the bus, we play best when counter attacking - it's made for us. COYFS

A side with Lennon, Bale and Walker in it, we shouldn't have to grizzle about not enough pace on the bench.

What we need is to make sure we work our bollocks off without the ball and we have the skill and nous to cause any team problems with the ball - including Man City at the Etihad!

Believe people!
