Simpson will play, as will Anita most likely.

Usually i would agree but i think he will be quite important against this Benfica team and how we will set up to get a result.

Hes better than Obertan. I like the look of Bigi in the middle, think he can do a good job there. Anita just isnt up to it atm.

It will be

 

Krul

Simpson/Taylor/MYM/Santon

Perch/Cabaye

Marveaux/Sissoko/Jonas

Cisse

 

I reckon :undecided:

 

Most likely and considering how its most likely to be a Anzhi away like job i think they will perform better than we imagine.... at least defensively anyway.

Aye

 

That's what I'm expecting.  Although I would have liked to see Anita in there, in place of Simpson or perch but he'll be on the bench.

Is what I'd rather or like to see. Obertan should really be able to counted on for this ffs. What a waste. I almost wish young Adam Campbell had more match-time under his belt as he probably offers more than others who traveled.

So much weaker without Debuchy and Gouffran.  Still not the worst side in the world though.  Hopefully we can hold them off or keep it to 1 and get an away goal ourselves to make it interesting at SJP.

Can barely think of two games in which Tiote's presence is needed more than Saturday's and this.

 

This. It's a massive blow.

 

Hopefully it's just a precaution and he'll be available for Sunday.

As big as the Tiote miss for City and this is i think fullbacks will be more important and was more important for City.

 

City exploited our fullbacks constantly and Simpson and Santon will have to be on top of their game to stop the same happening again as Benfica's strength is definitely their wingers.

 

I'm confident they will be though, both can defend in Anzhi like away jobs its when they have to combine defensive and attacking duties together that they struggle especially Simpson.

 

All i ask for tbh is to still be in the home leg so we have a chance of going through.

:sadnod:

 

It'll be fairly depressing heading to a sold out SJP knowing we have no chance on the back of a 3/4 nowt humping.
