They will get away with it against Cardiff.

They definitely need to be getting a CB though, Lescott is meh and Garcia isn't even a CB to begin with. rofl

Hart, Zabaleta, Garcia, Lescott, Clichy, Navas, Fernandinho, Toure, Silva, Dzeko, Aguero

Should not really matter too much about the CB pairing. City will score and I doubt they have the ball enough to keep them in the game.

Will there be a chat?

Will there be chat, yes. Will there be a chatroom? Uncertain at this point, we need a soul brave enough, we need a hero :bow:

Is Micah Richards injured or why he doesn't even make the bench? He should get out of City, should be playing somewhere.

Also, did Swansea buy Bony as competition for Michu? hmm

Again he's not starting.

No, Laudrup is being pragmatic like he was against United hoping for that defensive smash and grab at White Hart Lane. If Spurs score in the first half I expect he will be brought in at half time. Not sure why he seems to think it's the right move tactically, but to each their own.

Lescott

Settle down boys and but these scrubs away

Capoue looks like a monster in that midfield, my world, good luck sandro

by Albiceleste Sun Aug 25, 2013 4:13 pm

Capoue is a fraking beast for totenham, how did barca pass on this guy for song ffs

by Albiceleste Sun Aug 25, 2013 4:15 pm

Cardiff look very solid atm, working hard and frustrating city keeping them well at bay

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sun Aug 25, 2013 4:17 pm

Capoue has adapted a lot quicker than i thought he would.

When i have seen him over last year or so he's had a problem with decision making and looked very raw.

Looks very good so far though.

by Motogp69 Sun Aug 25, 2013 4:17 pm

Well, kind of screwed in fantasy, Bony not starting again and Lennon appears to be injured or unfavored.

by Motogp69 Sun Aug 25, 2013 4:17 pm

I have a feeling Chadli has great things in him as well, when he hits the ball it's always a laser, just needs to dial it in a little bit.

by Albiceleste Sun Aug 25, 2013 4:21 pm

Paulinho had a great chance there

I'd agree that this is a tactical decision in another fixture away from home, against a top side in the league. With Bony not quite acclimated to the Prem and the potential for Spurs to counterattack, I think Laudrup wants three midfielders that will "stay home" to a larger degree. I fully expect bony to make an appearance later on, though (likely for Shelvey). When will depend on the scoreline, IMO.
