Sure you want us to defend deep?
Teams who did well against City attacked them without deep line. Napoli, Bayern, Man Utd ( Before the silly sending off), Liverpool, Man Utd ( Community shield). Players like Silva, Nasri, Mata , Fabregas , Xavi actually gets more time and space to pick the pass when teams defend deep, that means unless our players are 100% focused for 90 minutes, there's no point in defending deep. |

The reason why I chose to defend deep isn't actually for the sake of defense. With City strike force ability, they can score against any teams, high or deep defensive line.
But with deep defensive line, we have much more space in the midfield and some quick thinking from midfield(Meireles,Romeu) will surely provide some counter attack threat. We got numbers of great counter attackers, Sturridge, Mata, Ramires will be the trio to counter attack. Remember last season, where Carlo said, 'Counter the counter?' We didn't have fast wingers that time, we couldn't do our counter attack job well. But now, we have seen a lot this season, Sturridge+Mata+Ramires counter attack has been pretty effective. I just hope that we can hold our defense and hit them when counter attack, because City wing backs are always ridiculously high up the pitch.

to cope with a very solid side like City/ Barcelona..we need to learn from other team who succeed in doing so..recent example is Real Madrid, i admired on how they've manage to compact every department and pressing Barca players.
to shut off City, as someone mentioned here..shut their key player, they have very tremendous amount of talents at their disposal but the key person will always be Silva and Yaya Toure. close them off, i think we'll do just fine. |

Hopefully Mata can be our Silva tonite.... :s. Silva shuld be tightly marked and put some tough tackle agression towards him...sutrridge is gud by often times i see he seem to fade a little when being tighly marked at th4e flank....but his positioning to sometime poke a goal from a cross invaluable to us
 owh with the defend deep thing...i understand AVB philosophy of high line defense but with terry slow pace running and Luiz clumsy/error prone mistake sometimes it is a big gamble to play high line as we are not playing to the best of their style and ability. Think about it if we get counter attack and last line defense only luiz able to catchup and make a reckless tackle the risk for him to get sent off is high as well. dun wana things turn ugly...

MANC are good at counter attack and they have some good long range shooter too.
Looking at our player, yes we should defend deep and play on counter but the key for this match is to press fast, we need all the energy we can get from our midfield trio. If we get to score first we have a big chance but if we concede first then it might turn into a goal fest This post has been edited by chitchat: Dec 13 2011, 12:14 AM |

just look at real madrid players in the el clasico. they started with energy and pressed up high on the pitch in the first half. if we gonna win today, we need to attack them from the first second of the match. don't give them so much time or space with the ball...

just checked the team news on twitter, it is exactly the same side that started against valencia. the only change is bosingwa coming in for david luiz, ivanovic can move to the centre back slot. in AVB we trust...!!!
