[Archived] Manchester City v Rovers Preview 25/2/2012

[Tom]

Wait Marcus Olsson can't get on the bench yet and then suddenly starts?

Confusion must be the gameplan.

[pick32]

petrovic MGP and Formica at center mid god that's frighting.

[hesfromburn]

Where the hell is n'zonzi????????????????......(ON THE BENCH!?)

[bigbrandjohn]

well Fulham have helped us.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

According to official site, N'Zonzi on bench ill

[alexanders]

Weakest midfield ever?

[G Somerset Rover]

Can I revise my 'by 4' prediction?

By 6 minimum. Wouldn't bet against N'Zonzi throwing his toys out of the pram over Samba.

[TugaysMarlboro]

I don't believe N'Zonzi has been putting in the effort during the midweek periods for quite some time. So maybe a stand from Steve Kean?

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Coco talking shi*e on sky, Joe Royle & Chris Coleman sticking up for him, the misinformation out there is staggering

[AllRoverAsia]

With a team like that Kean must have a bet on Rovers going for a record League defeat.

Look for Man C 9 Rovers 0

[donnermeat]

Why is Marcus Olsson playing over Simon??

[Tom]

3-0 City at a half pace

Scariliy I'd take that right now probably

[1864roverite]

Arsenal got 7 easy goals against us, I would expect City may well go all out to beat that, even go as far to say they may well be looking at setting a new premiership goals for record and beat the 9 scored by manure. One thing is sure, city will go for it as they look to take control of the top 2 slots and a bag full today will be as good as another 3 points in the bag.

Cant wait to see Keans lame excuses later (if he has the nerve to show up).

[Bluefudge]

Please...... Sky with Keano best mate playing the martyr !!!!!!

Bodyguard FFs!!!

Why did that need discussing, but scant regard for our senior players leaving by the coach load.

I mean we wouldn't want any searching questions at all would we, again the fans painted to be nasty thugs but poor old deal with it with great dignity Keano...

You old drunk Royle !!!!!

[sparky12]

honestly thinking it could be a pl record tonight

[jimw1988]

Dreadful team. We are going to get tonked! Wouldnt be shocked if city got 8 or 9!

[Bluefudge]

honestly thinking it could be a pl record tonight

We would draw positives from it......

[MarkBRFC]

You have to laugh at folk on here, this is the third time this season that people have said we will lose by a record score. I can see us losing by 3 or 4, not a chance we'll lose by 9 or 10!

[Madon]

I can see us causing an upset. Marcus Olsson to score first.

[Kelbo]

I have a really funny feeling we may do OK, dont ask me why, the team, the manager look awful, but I just have that gut feeling!!

[DeadlyDirk]

I can see us causing an upset. Marcus Olsson to score first.

I'll have a pint of what you're having.

[bluebruce]

By god the pessimism here is far more frightening than this game. Yes, we will get thrashed, but 9 or 10 nil is really getting carried away. Team is close to the best we can put out with injuries and suspensions. Henley rather than orr maybe (but risky, for us and the lad's confidence), and probably rather vukcevic for newbie olsson, but since none of us have seen him play or train, what's to say that won't be the right call? Shows he isn't here to make up the numbers like a certain santa cruz brother. I reckon 4-1 city.

[BigAlan]

Avoided all the pre match build up/Kean love in. Not looking forward to this.

[Stuart]

Watching the build up, just laughing at both teams.

I really think Kean sees the two Olsson's as some kind of master plan.

It's got that daft. At least there is no pressure on us.

If he gets a point with this line up, even I'll give him credit.
