Matt Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 I'm either going blind or nuts or both, but didn't see a thread for this. Anyway... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3388778/Manchester-City-winger-Jesus-Navas-need-clever-beat-Everton-Capital-One-Cup-semi-final-second-leg.html Hoping for this: Joel Oviedo Jags Mori Baines Besic Barry Geri Ross Mirallas Rom but I reckon it will be TC or Ossie instead of Kev/Geri, so we've got players who control the ball a bit better. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markjazzbassist Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 so matt you think oviedo would be better than stones at RB for this one? i'm on the fence. think oviedo will want to prove himself and will go all out in defense and attack, but think stones offers better defensive capabilities which we need agaisnt their attack.

I think Bryan, if his injury really isn't as bad as it was initially feared, has earned that place after the Chelsea game. Stones could also do with a games rest, maybe give him a moment out of the spotlight. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted January 18, 2016 Report Share Posted January 18, 2016 To me, this is the final. It's the more difficult game. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deacs Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I see your point, but you have to be careful thinking like that. Plenty of teams have thrown everything at the semi, and haven't been to replicate that level of performance in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milesey05 Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I don't care one iota about our performance. i wouldnt even care if Hibbo, Ossie and Kone started together. If we have drawn the game 0-0 in the most boring game ever at the final whistle ......i will be over the feckin moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbanyNYToffee Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Joel Oviedo Stones Jags Baines Barry Besic Lennon Barkley Mirallas Lukaku Still adamant Gerry and Mirallas in the same team could lead to disaster.

Especially away. Especially against City. If the two sitters work their ass off and play well I think you'll find that those two wingers could really really hurt City on the counter. They're going to come at us and I suspect we'll be penned in a lot. Barkley, Mirallas, Rom & Deulofeu on the counter could be absolutely devastating. It's a combination we haven't see yet. Why?

I can only assume because RM knows it wont work. Might as well call that formation 6-4. We will have no midfield to speak of whatsoever.

markjazzbassist Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 With all the injuries now here's what I think we will see Robles Coleman Jags Mori baines Cleverley Barry Gerry Barkley Lennon Lukaku Or maybe Kone for Lennon. But we don't have much more after mirallas and besic were injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 With all the injuries now here's what I think we will see Robles Coleman Jags Mori baines Cleverley Barry Gerry Barkley Lennon Lukaku Or maybe Kone for Lennon. But we don't have much more after mirallas and besic were injured. I imagine this is pretty close, though I doubt Roberto has the stones to not start Stones. Probably too soon for McCarthy. I'd prefer Lennon to Kone. Work rate, no comparison. Irritating that City have an extra day's rest, but maybe not a big issue. We probably need to score 2.

Guest rusty747 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Oviedo left wing? Otherwise I think that is about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elston Gunnn Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Oviedo left wing? Otherwise I think that is about right. So frustrating Mirallas's injury today. LW has several possibilities, and I agree that Oviedo should be an option. I doubt Roberto will go that way. Instead, if McCarthy plays DCM, I'd guess Cleverley will start LW. IF no McCarthy, it's probably Kone or Lennon. But again, I could see Oviedo being a good choice there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete0 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Think it will be Robles Coleman Stones Jags Baines Deulofeu Barry Cleverley Pienaar Barkley Lukaku Hope for Robles Coleman Stones Mori Baines Lennon Barkley Barry Oviedo Lukaku Deulofeu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rusty747 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 To be honest I would think about dropping Stones after Sunday's performance. Robles Coleman. Jags. Mori. Baines Barry. McCarthy Deulofeu. Barkley. Oviedo or Pienaar Rom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) This is Martinez last chance to salvage what looks to be another terrible season. Not Sure what's available but I'd go with this: Robles Coleman Jags Mori Baines Barry Cleverley Lennon Barkley Pienaar Lukaku Deulofeu to start on bench and be used as an impact player.

He will want Lennon to defend and Pienaar as well. We won't go to attack and take it to them, well sit back and pray. Hence lennon and Stevie P. I think Gerry starting would offer the most in attack but he's a liability defensively and i think we're going there for a draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be more than happy with that side, if we make it as far as extra time a fresh Gerry would be devastating Edited January 25, 2016 by duncanmckenzieismagic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
