Drogba's not in the team

edit: oh, do you mean later on with DD coming on as a sub?

[francozola 2,040]

City's team:

Hart, Richards, Zabaleta, Clichy, K.Toure, Balotelli, Nasri, Silva, de Jong, Y.Toure, Aguero.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Hart, Zabaleta, Richards, K. Toure, Clichy, Y. Toure, de Jong, Silva, Nasri, Balotelli, Aguero

SUBS: Pantilimon, Savic, Kolarov, Milner, Barry, Dzeko, Tevez

[Sheva. 5,373]

IMO Drogba should have started this, while Torres starts at home against Spurs.

Let's just hope for the best i guess.

[francozola 2,040]

Bench: Turnbull, Essien, Malouda, Kalou, Bosingwa, Drogba, Sturridge

[Corlett 202]

No idea what formation that is!

Cech

Ivanovic - Cahill - Luiz - Cole

Lampard - Mikel

Ramires - Mata - Meireles

Torres

Cech

Ivanovic - Cahill - Luiz - Cole

Lampard - Mikel - Meireles

Ramires - Torres - Mata

no Kompany for city, good news for us.

Slightly defensive strategy for us, I like it

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Strange line-up, very strange. Also, I don't trust Torres at all, still, I really hope he's doesn't take his infamous 2steps backwards tonight!

Midfield is f'cked up as well. Sturridge should be playing.

[Igi26 346]

Team v Man C: Cech; Ivanović, Cahill, D Luiz, Cole; Mikel, Lampard ©; Ramires, Mata, Meireles; Torres.

[Ben. 57]

Have decided to do the right thing and show up for school 40 mins late to catch the full 90 of this one.

UP THE CHELS!!!!

[YouNameIt 1,511]

Could it be:

Cech

Ivanovic - Cahill - Luiz - Cole

Mikel

Ramires - Meireles - Lampard

Mata

Torres

It's also wierd that there are no defenders on the bench?

[Superblue 6,331]

I think Robbie's looking to keep it tight first half by packing the midfield, and frustrating both City and their fans. With the likes of Sturridge and Drogba to come on and 'have a go' at them in the second half.

[NiclasCFC 2,582]

For everybody wonder what formation we are playing its the 4-2-3-1 like this:

Cech

Ivanovic - Cahill - Luiz - Cole

Lampard - Mikel

Ramires - Meireles - Mata

Torres

[francozola 2,040]

Could it be:

Cech

Ivanovic - Cahill - Luiz - Cole

Mikel

Ramires - Meireles - Lampard

Mata

Torres

Bosingwa is on the bench... but maybe it's not right to classify him as a 'defender'

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Own-goal from Tevez would be fantastic, even if it's at an expense of a 3-1 loss
