SUPERTOON Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Tiote? Yes as in bringing Nolan back in the centre in place of Tiote, Ben Arfa just behind Carroll and Jonas on the wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yeah, playing City without a defensive midfielder, that'll happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Tiote is a must in the midfield against City with the power they have in there. It would be absolute lunacy to even think otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Sol Campbell was a doubt with a thigh injury after missing the 2-1 loss to Stoke but should travel to Manchester. Midfielder Danny Guthrie, yet to make an appearance this season with a knee problem, and Danny Simpson, recovering from an ankle problem, are not in the squad for Man City. Hughton said: “It’s pretty much as we were. Danny Guthrie and Danny Simpson trained this week but are not available for Man City. “They are getting there, but are not quite ready for inclusion.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Johnson will be up against Jose if anyone. Invariably starts from the right all the times I've seen him for City. Aye but he was coming inside a lot last night, then switched up the left second half. Though when he moved to the left he seemed ineffective as Tevez was hogging the ball out there. They looked very thin down the right last night and over crowded at times on the left. I'd be thrilled if they lined up similar on Sunday. Not sure who's going to be left back for them like. There's talk about Lescott but he won't be fully match fit. if Milner play's he'll rip us apart mind. And if Tevez drifts left again Perch will get at least 1 yellow card because he can't seem to fucking tackle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Dropping Tiote. Jonas will start in place of Routledge or Ben Arfa I would guess. Reckon we're gonna get beaten quite comprehensively in this one unfortunately, City have looked great at home and I think they'll overpower us in CM and have the majority of possession. Our best bet would be to hit them on the break, but we've no pace up front to do that. Can see it being a bit like the Man U game. A good, spirited performance but a sound beating, maybe 2-0.

Good points. How about a 4-3-3 with Tiote, Smith and Barton in midfield and Carroll, Lovenkrands and Ben Arfa up front. Lump it up to Carroll as soon as we get the ball, then have him play it to either of the pacy lads and hope for the best. Thank fuck I'm not our manager.

SEMTEX Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I might just take sleeping pills at noon and hope I sleep through it. This is going to hurt. I'm not even convinced they'll score too many, but they'll keep the ball and grind out a 1, 2 or maaaaybe 3 goal win. We won't get a sniff IMO.

Memphis Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I can only hope that he's going to put Jonas in for Routledge. Maybe something like: Krul (shudder) Williamson Colo Enrique Tiote Jonas Barton Ben Arfa Nolan Carroll Need ball retention here. Gotta grind out a result if we're going to get one.
