yup we could be. However it all depends on what team mancini will put out next week... If Ireland plays I think we will be much more dangerous going forward

in old trafford, ireland and ade will start i belive, berbatov too. lescott and toure aswell? it gonna be a hell of a match.
Got a feeling Fergie will match City in terms of formation again. :S
not after today, no. :S

I don't think Owen actually did that much, there was just more urgency about United and that made City go further back (City's subs helped).
owen coming on gave rooney and our cms more freedom in the final third.

the moment rooney had the partner, he was aloud to drop deeper and make things happen taking players on for fun it was like the old Wayne Rooney

i really think his talents are being wasted
Hmmm he doesn't always play like that though in that role and you still have the problem of who to play with him further forwards. :S
good point.

ive rarely seen him play behind the striker for a long time but i maybe wrong, when others create space for him and he's running towards goal and not got his back towards goal he's pretty hard to stop.

you can compare him to the way henry used to pl;ay where henry used to drift to the left and cut in but that doesnt mean he should play on the wing.

He does seem to have some favourites though... and I think he isn´t really tinkering for tinkerings sake in the the semi´s though....

what today showed is that we need a good LB and another creative forward going midfielder

with some of them tho dutch i think his had was forced due to injuries and the acn. certain players look like they will be in the first team once he decided what he wants but those players would get in most first teams tbh

hmmm maybe... I still say we only have one forward going cm and that´s Ireland...

Also at LB we have Bridge who needs to improve if he wants to impress me... sylvinho who is useful but waay to slow and Garrido who is crap defensively. Lescott could play there mebbe :S but that´s the only option I can see really

prob be wise to play lescott there with toure and kompant at cb. then stick richards on the right. that would probably be pretty solid.

i thought you may have more attacked mind cm's :S if thats the case you need another one
