CI Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Well they might rest a couple with Madrid coming up, or maybe they learned after last time They're effectively out of the CL already so the Madrid game is irrelevant now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 but crucially but not definitely out of the cl yet. they will have to go for it, i think there would be pressure on mancini if he gave up whilst there was still a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troglodyte Posted November 17, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2012 Still think they will play a strong side today (well, they can do that while resting a few anyway if they want to!) but either way they won't want to roll over against Madrid. Even if they're accepting that they're out of the Champions League, which I'm sure they're not, they won't want to risk a hiding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedClaretAndBlue Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 They can still qualify on 8 points winning their last 2 vs. Madrid and Dortmund but would still need a favour from Ajax. So its unlikely but they have to have a go. Theyll still put out one of their strongest teams today though. Expecting a bad day ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted November 17, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted November 17, 2012 Manchester City's home league record is verging on obscene. Loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The media not giving us a chance in hell in this fixture Should we play well and beat them in their eyes i think it will be more a case of city playing poorly rather than us playing well We stuffed them in the cup and we hardly got any recognition for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.Bear Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The reason the media arent giving us a chance in hell is because we're going to badly beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 #AVFC: Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar [c], Clark, Stevens, Westwood, Bannan, Ireland, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke #MCFC: Hart, Kompany, Clichy, Nastasic, Maicon, Y Toure, Barry, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Tevez I honestly think that team will rip us apart. They haven't lost a home game in the league for 2 years ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoD Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Dzeko will come off the bench and score a late goal to win them the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 We have a great chance to exploit City's right hand side given how Maicon likes to play essentially as an outside right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
