wisey11zola25 142 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'd definitely play Romeu at CB... ANYTHING to avoid playing Bosingwa but very unlikely that will happen Completely agree, been such a breath of fresh air seeing bosingwa out of the XI....to be honest, Alex could be involved, it doesn't seem he 'hates' the club, he wants regular first team football because he is good enough for it, doesn't mean he won't play well for us, on the other hand his mind might be elsewhere.Ferreira and Chalobah can't be considered to face Aguero, Dzeko,Balotelli,Johnson or Silva, for the two different sides of age....Romeu could probably handle it for the majority of the time but i would rather him being in DM keeping that role to himself and improving game in game out, after all someone with that passing talent can't be wasted at centre half when we're trying to find gaps in city's defence.I have made this point before on the Forum and think i got some disagreement but i have played football for 15 years, am left footed and a centre half, but Right Back...is the easiest position on the field..... Therefore... move brana inside with JT, obviously Ash on the left, and put Ryan on the right hand side, he's got the pace and brana will support him all day...I highly doubt this will happen...which brings us back to Jose Bosingwa being picked....

francozola 2,040 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I disagree, atleast Paulo has some good games against big teams, Bosingwa never has for us.When was the last time Paulo had one of those games? He hasn't played in an awful long time and carling cup games aside he has no fitness at allIf Ramires + Sturridge are assigned a role to track back and double team on whoever plays on City's left, then Bosingwa won't be isolated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manpe 10,861 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Bartron, Nate and Romeu are definitely out of the equation, I doubt AVB even considers them... I would bet all my possessions on that unless freak injury crysis occurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't played in an awful long time and carling cup games aside he has no fitness at allWhite Hart Lane last season, when Bosingwa got injured and Ivan had to move to the centre, the world and his dog expected Bale to humilate him but Bale didn't get a sniff all game. Funnily enough that match was his first for a long time aswell.Old Trafford in THAT match that won us the league he was awesome throughout.

Yasser 63 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Right-back should be any player and any creature was instead of Bosingwa, you should avoid that disaster!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I'm certain it'll be the usual: Bosingwa - Ivanovic - Terry - ColeBosingwa will get skinned. Meireles must be deployed to help him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raul doesn't have the complete discipline that Rambo has and can lose concentration and leave gapsI suppose so. I'd have a 5-man midfield for this, because this area would be crucial.---------Ramires - RomeuMeireles - Mata - LampardHowever, Sturridge won't be played as a lone striker, we know this from André so I imagine we'll see..---------RomeuRamires - MeirelesDon't think Lampard's right for this game.

Today when he came on a couple of times he didn't/was slow tracking back and left holes in front of Romeu. Lampard won't give you much in an attacking sense but he does have discipline to sit and do the simple stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrique 9,133 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 We cant try anything stupid.So Terry- Ivanovic with Bosingwa in the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdog 2,084 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I disagree, at least Paulo has some good games against big teams, Bosingwa never has for us.I do remember a couple of seasons ago Bos played on the left side & put Da Messiah into his pocket. I know, that was before he serious knee injury of last season. I have faith in Bos that he can do the business midweek over Los Che. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
