Here is the place to talk about all things city and football!

I must admit I was pleasantly of the starting 11 Mancini chose. Granted Shawcross was out, Stoke are still a big side, and he went with an undersized attack line, with no real size on the bench.
But I wonder now, does he go with the same 11 Monday or does he rest some players and mix it up. Surely Sylvinho at his age and match fitness could be due for a rest. Does Zaba go to LB or does Garrido get his first of the year?
Does Bellamy slot in ahead of Robinho?
Do Ade or RSC make the bench? How about does Weiss get his first start?
Will be interesting to see where he goes. Thoughts?
I've come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I am all out of bubblegum.

As I said in my other thread I started since he had a spat I think Robson might get benched now.

Yes! I think the reason Bellamy was on the bench today was because we have another game on Monday and Bobby is saving him for that. It seems that the new boss has done his home-work on his squad and is going to use them as and when the situation dictates.
As for your final 2 questions, Weiss will surely only play if we are playing with a big man up front? No point in Petrov and Weiss firing the ball in from the flanks if there is nobody to get on the end of it.

I hope Weiss gets some pitch time, maybe if one out of Ade and RSC starts this could happen. Bellamy will probably start, as for Zabba on LB for the whole game, I wouldn't be so sure of that.
