Possible Teams: City v Bolton

Totally agree state-side; There is something desperately not right with Barry, whether it be he needs an operation or a rest. And I do think Ireland deserves a chance at AM, I am still a huge fan of his and think given time and backing will come good again - I wrote about that here - http://man-city-issues.blogspot.com/2010/02/ireland-to-united.html

To me i would never start adebayor as he is lazy and doesn't seem to care just like benjani before him even robinho was more mobile and more likely to do something,isn't it strange that city did way better without the togo post than with him. At the back i would drop toure who is clearly past it and relies on the little pace that he has left to get in out of trouble like gallas he detest having to face long balls and balls in the air and teams have sussed this and he is going to be an accident waiting to happen and against bolton it is a gamble not worth taking,since when does wenger sell a good player. I would play richards at right back as i feel zabaletta is a booking assured in every game,the stupidity of his lunges and challenges are really doing my head but i guess he knows he lacks pace so anything to make sure the players cannot get away from him but micah had been recovering his form and pace but also his attacking game has really gone up tremendously this season. If both onuhoa and kompany are fit then i would play them as i feel kompany reads the game like a prime ferdinand and his calmness brings calmness to the all back four and with ned speed and good aerial ability you have a good combo,i would bring back garrido as he has been way better than awful wayne bridge who is a liability and is now being found out for the rubbish player he always was or even lescott and test his fitness but also his heading ability would be a needed boost to the defence but also a good attacking threat on set pieces and corners. Shame bellamy is injured as i would have loved to see play up front with tevez but right now carlos up top with ireland behind him with shauny and johnson on the wings to make the attack that much more mobile and interchanging . I wouldn't start vieira at his age and slowness he is bound to get caught on the ball a lot of times and might make some reckless challenges that may cost you early on in the game and you don't want that,i would start with barry and de jong even though i think barry is rubbish and overrated i think you need both of them to dominate against a physical side like bolton. And when the score is secure bring on the likes of vieira and adebayor to come and kill the game off and maybe take off garrido and bring some quicker to come and shut shops. I hope you do get top 4 as i despise loserpool with all my hear with that cheating **** gerrard and the bully carragher who cannot defend unless he frightens you into not having a good game .
