Ok get the derby result behind us , this sunday Manchester City play us and They are unbeaten at home this season have won all 9 of their fixtures including against Manchester united and have scored 17 goals with only conceding 5 . very tight back line . I'd have to say this will be a real test for us if we are to challenge for the title and also i think it will be a draw when i look at it realistically but i'd go with a 1-0 win.

The team which i think rafa will put out after viewing the Derby game in which we were bad , esp some of the players .

Reina

Arbeloa Carra Hypia Riise

Yossi Gerrad Masch Kewell

Torres Crouch/Kuyt

I think rafa will pick 2 wide man , to provide the service for the fowards and also if crouch plays , to pump in balls towards crouch . Crouch will be there to bother the man city defence to clear the way for torres . Anyway i'd go for a 1-0 win for us with kewell getting the goal

Well if we play the same way we have just played against Derby then we will not be picking up any points.

What was that against Reading? Personally I thought that was our day off getting beat 3-1, cant believe we played worst than that today because we did.

got a feeling it will be an open game with city scoring first and the match ending up 2-2 i think a draw will be a good result but we need the 3 points

I don't know, the Gerrard and masch midfield sounds tempting but I'd like to see Alonso in this one.

Alonso Masch
Gerrard
Benayoun Kewell
Torres

Ye played treibble against derby !!!

Cant wait for this match should be class ....

I thinkthe team will be :

Reina
Arbeloa carragher sami riise

gerrard mascherano alonso kewel

torres kuyt

Have a feeling he might move gerrard over to the right because he wants to get Alonso's match fitness back ......

by **jono** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 7:03 pm

needs to put out his strongest side like the one that played against United, no resting players or any surprises please, don't mind Gerrard on the right if he goes that way

This will be a tough match.

Manhattan predicts a draw.

1-1.

we played well for the first 25 mins today and looked like we were going to walk it today, but jewell got them fired right up and we didn't look capable of dealing with it, but it is the sign of a good team that play sh!te and still win, for the most of it that is what manure have built there dynasty on

torres took his one and only but of good play today and we should be grateful to have a player that dosen't need ten chances to score one

man city are going into the game flying this season and we really need the points, so i can see a right ding dong of a game coming, i hope we play better than we did today as city now have the discipline to hold a lead if they get one

gerrard double will do me fine

decent and realistic view of the game , hope u are wrong though

Records are there to be broken and I doubt Man City will go the whole season unbeaten at home.

We will have to be better than we were against Derby and our away record is none too shabby.

I predict a tight game but an away win. As long as Rafa sticks to the spine of Reina-Carra-Gerrard-Torres and picks a sensible team around those 4 we'll win.

by **JoeTerp** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 8:10 pm

pretty sure Crouch is still suspended for this one

by **account deleted by request** » Wed Dec 26, 2007 8:49 pm

Reina

Finnan Carra Hyypia Arbeloa/Riise

Benayoun Gerrard Mascherano Kewell

Torres Babel

Buy another striker please Rafa
