*** MAN CITY v SPURS *** Carling Cup Match Thread

[Daredevil]

Elano being back is a worry, and hopefully Bianchi's goal against us the other week will have our back line wise to his strength in the air.

If we do win tonight, I can see it being another ground out 1-0. Back to back wins have been great for us, but even though we're moving up I think it will be more of a crawl for a few games yet.

with dawson out, looks like zokora continuing at the back.

the only change id make from sat is bringing in JD for bent.

judging by Citys defending on sat, theres gonna be chances galore, just hope we can take em!

 

[worcestersauce]

I'd like to see and it's quite obvious that the lineup will be;

Robinson

Chimbonda - Kaboul - Zokora - Lee

Lennon - Jenas - Boateng - Malbranque

Defoe - Berbatov

This is the official unbeaten home run ending team this is.:grin:

 

[Stoof]

Robinson​

Chimbonda - Kaboul - Zokora - Lee​

Lennon - Jenas - Boateng - Malbranque​

Defoe - Berbatov​

Do it.​

I've never seen the board so united on what the team should be.

Personally I disagree and think that Taarabt, Ghaly and Andy Barcham should all start.

 

[Daredevil]

That's the only viable line-up with what we have available.

Huddlestone could come into the midfield.

Chimbs could move into CB with Stalteri on at right.

Although I do agree with the proposed line-up

 

[Andy]

Defoe better go out tonight and kick some ass.
He has alot to prove to Juande.

 

[SpurSince57]

City will also have Hamann back, which isn't particularly good news.

 

[Bingy]

Is the 'young hopeful' Mr J. Greaves still injured? I predict a bright future for him and maybe even a call up for the 1962 WC! However, I also believe that he is of French extraction.....and we all know how good their defensive qualities are a-la-1914/18 and 1940/45! 2 points tonight, either way....What is that you say nurse? That's too much medicat..i...i...o! COYS!

Huddlestone could come into the midfield.

Chimbs could move into CB with Stalteri on at right.

Dawson could come back in at CB :shrug:

 

[QWERT12345]

City will also have Hamann back, which isn't particularly good news.

I honestly believe he is as important to their team right now as Elano, he is the type of player that helps the team a lot and still gets overlooked.

This will surely be a very tough game, but the confidence should be there and the Carling cup is the perfect chance to get into the UEFA-Cup.

I also agree with the lineup that the most ppl agree with.

I'm surprised no one mentioned Tainio to start at all. Hasn't started a game in ages

 

[Keano]

midfield:

LENNON JENAS STEED O'HARA
