It might be the same system as Barca play but Johnson and Silva can't play in the positions that Xavi and Iniesta do.
Playing Johnson and Silva as part of a 3 man midfield is suicide.

Johnson De Jong Toure
Is Toure a RM/RW?
Or do you have Johnson on LW and two holding mids and then Silva AM. Seems a bit bizarre.
Silva is used to playing either further forward or as part of a 4 man midfield. The team you've posted has 5 out and out attacking players. Toure would be overrun and City would be raped.

silva is never going to improve, he is a spanish international reserve and will never be good enough for the first team. he will get the odd game here and there.
robhino is a full brazilian international, who has played for real madrd.
man city have to somehow motivate him or get rid. he is leaps and bounds above all your other players bar tevez.
Oh sorry mate i didnt see the quote and thought you was talking about my team and yeh i agree Psychos team would get overrun in midfield.And I didn't quote you
Psycho how wont Silva improve? hes young and wants to play so he will naturally get better....and if Robinhos so good why hasnt anyone bought him?

you paid 32.5m for him and his wages are probably astronomical.
the only teams that could afford him are barca and real and they dont need him. so your stuck with him.

City would get utterly destroyed if they lined up like Psycho Sonny suggested. God they played 3 holding midfielders yesterday and would have been destroyed were it not for Hart, can you imagine them coming out with one??

4-2-3-1
Balotelli
Robhino Tevez Johnson
De Jong Toure
Balotelli
Robhino Tevez Johnson
De Jong Toure
Well were willing to sell him for around 16m apparently and Beskitas are interested so hes obviously wanting to take a pay cut....look if hes willing to put some kind of effort in then i will have him in the team but not the way you lined them up.....Mancini has him in his 25 so the meeting went well i imagine and Robinho wants to play for us but who knows...

the team that was picked was terrible.
sean wright philips is a 8-15th placed team player, he should not be playing for a top 6 team.
the whole team was set up wrong, with the skill of the players i suggested they would have held the ball better and been deadly at attacking.
There is always the argument that attack is the best defense, Barca being the standout example of this. They simply keep the ball and keep teams pegged back.
Adam Johnson is an out and out winger, he relies on his pace to get to the by line to cross. Who exactly out of Tevez, Ballotelli and Robinho can head? It's pointless having him in the team hence why he came on yesterday when Adebayor did.

only very few crosses actually get scored by a head, you know you can play a low cross right?

Only Hart and Silva were any good yesterday. Toure did well but nothing fantastic.
