Real Madrid v Man City | Champions League | Tuesday 7:45PM

Fonseca wrote:Mancini's going to play anti football again

"Our mentality is this, it is difficult to start to play to defend, we don't have this mentality."

That said, 0 fucks about the playing style would be given if we get a good result.

It's awful, there's nothing to admire about it either. At least Mourinho combats threats by doing outstanding stuff, Mancini just parks the bus at teams like Arsenal

Madrid 3-1 City

I never said there's anything to admire, I just said 0 fucks are given if a good result is attained.

Hart; Maicon, Kompany, Clichy, Nastasic, Nasri, Javi Garcia, Barry, David Silva, YaYa Toure, Tevez

What the fuck is that team Mancini?

Nastasic.

Obviously Lescott must be injured or something because he's on the bench. Kolo Toure isn't in the Europe squad so he couldn't have been picked. The rest of the team is fine, obviously Yaya must be playing forward with Javi Garcia and Barry holding.

If that's true Mancini is a moron. Playing defensively V Madrid with a youngster in the defence.

Two holding players is the norm, it's not a defensive switch specific for this game. 4-2-3-1 formation with the front four just drifting all over the place.

Thought Aguero would have started tonight suppose he's not really 100% fit yet also has Silva been injured or something not seen him in a while.

UEFA have fucked up both team sheets apparently, fucking different teams everywhere.

Rested against Stoke last week, think he's played in the other games.

Yeh but to play those 2 holding that means this kid is in the defence..

According to the bbc website man city's team is

Hart,Maicon,Kompany,Lescott,Clichy,Nasri,Barry,Silva,Y Toure,Tevez,Balotelli

Real madrid's team is
Casillas,Varane,Pepe,Marcelo,Arbeloa,Khedira,Ronaldo,Alonso,Essien,Di Maria,Higuain.

Higuain starting again

he'll probably score a hattrick now

Well he is a defender.

Yeah I know, I was the one that sent that team to Chris.

This gonna be good.

Essien and Varane is that shit I don't like

Ramos injured?

No idea why Essien is playing either.

As is Javi Garcia so if Lescott is out I would start him there.

No Modric?

Javi Garcia is a midfielder by trade, he would be filling in out of position if he played at CB. He obviously thinks we've got a better chance with Nastasic at CB.

I think he's playing and no Oezil.

Modric on the bench.
