Shelvey adam and spearing in the middle with maxi and kuyt on either flank and carrol upfront on his own. Pack the midfield up get the ball to Andy. 0-1
Dont think Mancini will play that strong tbh especially with kompany toures missing. They will focus on the premierleague
Why not?
He started against Oldham. I see no reason whatsoever why he wouldn't unless he is not fully recovered from injury, which in fact he showed against Oldham he was fit.
I'm sure that Kenny will want to get a decent result against City early on this week as the return leg in only days before the United FA Cup tie - no way will Gerrard miss that one, he is far more likely to be rested in the City second leg.
Because before he returned and was close to fitness Kenny said we won't give him a string of games like last time. I think he is more likely to have a bench role v citeh and come on if needed
Well I don't consider 2 starts in a row "a string of games".
I can see Gerrard starting against City. Bench against Bolton. Start against City and possibly United.
What about stoke?
Agree SCS. We brought Gerrard on too late against city last time, and he couldn't contribute like we needed him to. Start him from the beginning and he'll be that much more deadly throughout. Bellamy should start this game as well.
Carling Cup can be ours if we want it. We win the first leg and the second becomes that much easier.
