Reportedly the only change to our line-up from midweek is Soto in for Kelly, with Carra at RB
Makes no sense whatsoever. Not only is Kelly a better RB than Carra but he's very good in the air too. Soto coming in makes perfect sense but Kelly missing out doesn't. Either Carra or Skrtel should have been dropped.
The last football weekly podcast was ace. They reckoned you lot deserved a bigger fine than Blackpool for playing such turgid dross all the time.
Lemme guess City playing with 3 defensive midfielders again? If so not surprised its a snore fest
I take it your middle three is Milner, Toure and De Jong then? That's still a terribly negative middle, even if you aren't playing Barry. Milner's not the man to link defense and attack, and neither is Toure.We're playing 4-3-3 with Silva, Johnson, Tevez and Milner. It shouldn't be dull, Birmingham just have everyone behind the ball.
To be fair to Pav he is nursing an injury and was highly doubtful for this game.
How many attempts on goal has Pav had today? Could have had 5-6 goals on another day.
