Bit disappointed this fixture wasn't played a month ago when it usually is. Would have felt confident not only of a win, but a damn good one. The way things are at the moment, I'd be happy to scrape a win and would not be upset with a draw

I'd be upset by anything less than a win.

We can do this. Come on lads!

What odds on a set up like last year when Dave was missing

Hart
Zab Komps MDM (for Nasty) Kola
Ferni Yaya
Navas Nasri
Aguero Dzeko (for Negredo).

think there's something for that team but would put Milner in for Dzeko and put Nasri Central behind Serge

Milner has to start.

before Newscastle midweek every match we lost was when Milner didn't start.
he's making more bursting runs that anyone in our team and he hasn't done anything to warrant not starting.
I'm not really a City fan. I'm just here for attention.

been getting shit from every fucker today from the rags, dippers and chelski pricks, all going on how we are shit and that we ar about to get turned over. Oh and that we will be after yet another manager because we are small time blah blah blah. They all seem to love the fact that we simply look shit and out of ideas.

People need to stop buying into the media bullshit. If this was the old City playing this pile of rag dung we'd be jumping for fucking joy at the prospect. They are beyond shite, have no central midfield, cannot keep hold of the ball and can't defend for shit. And their forward line has no fight in it (apart from Wooney). Were not playing well at the moment but City at 80% will beat these fuckers.

Out of Nasri, Navas, Sinclair, Jovetic, and Milner which 2 would you play if you don't want Milner to start? And Jovetic might not even be available for this selection because he might be up top with Aguero given Dzeko's form.

If we lose I'll be calling for 'Pellers Out' and for the board to go with him too. Life will be unbearable with every area of the media masturbating over 'King Louis' and his Rag Revolution.

A loss for us is not an option.

For me it's Nasri who has to start. He's always been tactically perfect for our set-up against United, without Silva we won't have anybody at all creating in the half space, making him even more essential as our creativity on the right hand side will be severely limited if Navas starts, and slightly limited if Milner starts. Our best performances against United have always been particularly highlighted with our overloads in wide areas; Kolarov shining in the 4-1 win of 13/14, Micah Richards shining in the 1-6 win of 11/12, and it's Nasri that's been the master of creation in recent years as Kolarov bursts around him on the overlap. This is where United struggle the most and where we've excelled for many years.

I'm usually extremely confident of a win against United, more confident than I am of beating any other team in the top eight bar Spurs, but tomorrow will be different. I don't think it's our poor form that contributes to my lack of confidence, it's the tactical set up of both sides. This season it's been increasingly obvious that LVG wants the strikers to receive the ball as early as possible, Kompany and his CB partner are going to have to be extremely alert to this because it appears to me that if United are allowed to get the ball to their strikers quickly we're going to be in a whole lot of trouble, we'll be put into a lot of 3v3 and 4v4 situations which is not something to relish when the opposition has Di Maria on their side. Kompany's insistence on meeting the strikers high up the pitch - often leading to him getting turned and left behind - means that, in this instance, there could be multiple opportunities for United to even outnumber us. United now have a tactical threat, and a direct threat because of the increased quality of their personnel.

I don't want to predict the score, but honestly, I do feel like revenge could be on the cards for United.

The side I would go for in a 4-5-1 formation.

-------------------------Hart

Zabaleta----Kompany---MDM----Kolarov

Milner-----Fernando--Toure--Fernandinho--Jovetic

--------------------------Aguero



i would like to see fernando and fernando both starting together but it is always one or the other.

I think the way Kompany goes out for the ball is the way the manager wants him to, & essential to Pellegrini's defensive plan, defending with fewer players.

The key is to do it right. We saw both possibilities from Demichelis last season; getting it horribly wrong early on, then mostly right later in the season.

At the moment, they are all tending to fuck it up.

Imo, the formation & tactics is less important than the actual players turning up. Vinny etc are capable of keeping the rags down to a few opportunities, Ferns, Milner, Yaya, Nasri etc are capable of stomping on their midfield & Aguero etc are capable of tearing their defenders a new arsehole.

Whatever the formation, if our players turn up, most times they will beat the rags. If they don't then the rags have the players to turn us over.
