CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I predict that we will park the bus for this one, get a decent result and everyone would be saying how we are going to win the league....up until our Wigan match, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Well, here we go, the first major test to see how good and where we actually are. Man City haven't added to last season have they so we should know what to expect from them. They wont know what to expect from us but tbh their experience and power will probably see them win the game. We have players not playing and a few not there. I'll be surprised if we win it.

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Mancini is playing a 3-5-2. We need pace and width and we have a chance playing on the counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killer1257 3,282 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 How much minutes do you think,will Mata play?I think,that he can play 70 minutes,becauce he played in the Olympics,so his stamina should be ok.What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santiago. 1,500 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 i just hope we go at them i dont wanna see any parking the bus crap i wanna see us to start playing some good football might aswell start nowSame. With the quality we have now, and the fact it is a community shield which means fuck all, parking the bus is the last thing i would want to see, considering this clubs future will not rely on that tactic anymore. Hoping for a good attacking match. 2-1 City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouNameIt 1,511 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Park the bus? What are you guys, mad? What we should do is to play our usual solid defense and not any high line, and use QUICK counters. We can do that. Pass the ball quick and not that passing the ball around slowly, then losing it.I dont know exacly which players will be available but id like to see Ramires in the double pivot with Mikel, I hope Mata and Hazard both start and i would LOVE to see Sturridge play.

Django 83 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Lampard has to play. Tactics aside, his presence is so vital. Surprised a fair few wouldn't pick him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killer1257 3,282 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 If we play like we did against Brighton then we will have our arse destroyedBut if our defenders take the game serious,we won´t get destroyed,but I think,that our central defenders must be on that game Cahill and Luiz.I am not sure,that Terry is ready for that game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,889 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Expecting a big performance, if not I still reckon we can win anyway. City are basically new borns when it comes to finals, we aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Silva and Balotelli are unlikely to playWhich helps us a lot. With Mata likely to return as well we have an even better chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
