do you think Tevez will start ?

Today? Maybe. I think selling Adam Johnson was a bad move because at least he could provide width in a tight game.

Watching the Sunderland game and all of a sudden City look like world beaters again. Why? Because Mancini has been trying to introduce flare and style into areas where they're not useful. What City needs are a core of solid but unspectacular players who do a job defensively, who provide a safety net for flare players, who chase down the ball doggedly when they lose it.

City looked ten times the team with Barry and Milner and Lescott playing. I know it's Sunderland and a game we expected to win but to do it so dominantly shows that there's something different tactically. I can't blame Mancini for trying to play with the tactics but I think there's a strong case for playing Milner and Barry and Lescott in the bigger games. I also think that Richards made a great case for inclusion at centre-half as well, partnered with Kompany. I wouldn't put him in right back because Zabaletta has been superb.

Because they're playing at home against a bum club whose best player is John O' Shea. Calm down, Gramps.

i agree with you. not with beating atleti with the same team though. lol

that's also why i think ramires is now in the pivot. he has the best motor of the whole team but he's also disciplined enough to not leave mikel on an island. mikel needs a ball winner paired with him and lampard ain't that.

i think at this point lampard is best as a cam, since he tries to be a striker when given defensive duties. he's still good but he doesn't really fit anymore, or at least would be 3rd or 4th option to the position he could fit. which means a giggs role.

arsenal can't handle the holy trinity.

The only "Holy Trinity" I know of is Cazorla, Podolski, and Jack Wilshere.

West Ham are getting smashed later.

It wasn't the victory or the scoreline, it was the manner of the victory. If you have trouble understanding then get your mum to read you the rest of my post where I explained that.

Is John O'Shea playing as a striker again?

Zaha with 4 goals in 2.

Palace 3-2 after being 0-2 down.

I feel like Ivanović gets overlooked by a lot of people, no one seems to talk about him but almost every time I see him play for Chelsea he's solid, and he sure can strike ball.

4-2 glad all over
