What are Blackburn like these days? Any decent wingers? Need to decide which way to go for the prediction league and wingers would sway it in favour of a Blackburn win.
Hmmm i can see us doing another 'chelsea performance' on sunday. Ade has got to score after his hat trick and i expect/want:
------------HART--------
Zab----Toure---Komp--Boateng/Richards
------De Jong--Y Toure--Milner
-------------Silva----------------
-------Ade------------Tevez

I wouldn't be surprised if we play far more attacking football than the Chelsea game. Arsenals defence won't be a patch on Chelseas. We may benefit from getting up there rather than counter attacking. That said Arsenal can move the ball about far better than us as a unit, so posession may not be the easiest thing to come by.
David Silva to pick the ball up on the edge of our box, beat all 10 Arsenal players and chip it over Fabianski for goal of the season

I'd go for a Liverpool win. I think Blackburn's attacking threats will only come from the two Diouf's and Samba at set pieces.
Soldato
Fuller is out for the stoke vs man u game. Witehead is suspended
I think we honestly have a change of getting a 0-0. We need to keep nani quiet on our narrow pitch quite afew wide players have struggled.
If you want a bet go under 2.5 goals for this game imo.

Huth----Faye----Shawcross (c)------colins
Pennant---Whelan---Delap-------Ethrington

Make sure your players have their shin pads on
Nah, just as Kill said, the two Dioufs and Samba whenever he's up for a throw in / corner ect ect...
Peddy has got decent delivery in to the box, but tbh your defenders should eat them up.

Set pieces and crosses are what worry me. Neither Carragher or Skrtel are great in the air and the two fullbacks get no protection from midfield because we play so narrow. If Blackburn have decent wingers and someone who's good with his head they'll batter us
Rarely, but usually does a job vs the top teams for some reason.
About the other Diaby comments - Balon D'or winner 2013.
Man of Honour
I was saying the other night when the played Stoke. Diouf's not that bad a player now when he's not being ridiculous.

I still remember reading those sex stories about him in the newspapers, a couple of years back. *shudders*
I never saw these, what's worrying is I can't wait to find out

Can't believe Man City still play Zabaleta, he's awful and can't tackle. And I can't believe he's only 25.
Zabaleta is quality...easily one of the best defenders in the prem. You obviously dont watch him! He is quality but hes like Kompany, all their work goes un noticed.

Agree with that!
There is a reason that DESPITE all the money, they still play these two.
Is kolarov no good?

Not sure where you got that opinion from. First game back from injury against Lech Poznan and he was fantastic from what anyone saw of him. As Biz.Kid says, just plays in an unnoticed position.
Real shame about Kolorov. Mancini seemed to have big plans for him becoming one of the anchors of our back 4 along with Kompany.
Honestly as a City fan there's nothing more bizzare than looking at the team sheet and thinking, "Actually, they're pretty good". Far too many years of "Oh christ do we HAVE to play him". Bridge still bringing back the old emotions but no-ones perfect

Well I saw him lots last year and I stand by my comment, he was awful everytime I saw him and I'm sure he got sent off numerous times too for silly fouls.
Soldato
I think ill trust people who actually watch him every week.
From what i have seen he is far from awful. Seems better then most fullbacks in the league
just come stuff that is said about him from his owns fans

For Zabaleta:
*Great positional sense
*Very reliable
*Never gives up
*Good crosser
*Adaptable - can play in midfield
Against Zabaleta:
*Not that quick
*Hasn't got Richards strength - But no-one does!
*Not great in the air
If you count getting sent off once last season "numerous times too for silly fouls" a lot then i dont know.
Guys had 3 red cards in his whole career
