Given
Bridge Toure Dunne Richards
Ireland Barry Robinho
Tevez Adebayor Santa Cruz
Subs : Wright Phillips, Onuha, Bellamy, Garrido
Barry will most likely play a deeper role in midfield while staying back a bit and allowing Ireland and Robinho to cause havoc down the wings. Tevez can slot back into the midfield to help them gain possession as he has good determination and never gives up. Dunne may not be in the team soon. Due to City pursuing Lescott of Everton. And if they fail with Lescott. I can see Upson being their back up from West Ham. Or maybe their young talent, Nedum Onuha will take Dunne's place. He did not play very good last season.
I can see Robinho playing much better this season due to more talent being around him. Last season a depressed, moaning Robinho scored 14 goals. I can see him scoring 20-25 goals next season. Santa Cruz and Adebayor can be targets in the box for headers which, City lacked last season.
The only thing I can see stopping City is if they let anger consume them. Robinho can moan and so can Adebayor. Furthermore, Bellamy can moan aswell. And I can see him moaning as he won't get a first team place. He should be offloaded this summer or during the winter transfer window. Or become a bench warmer/super sub.
Wright-Phillips may leave aswell. Ireland is a better player and can control the midfield well. He should leave this summer or during the winter transfer window.
People criticised Manchester City for buying 3 accomplished forwards and not sorting out their defence first which, was their weakpoint last season. They also, bought an experienced playmaker in the form of Gareth Barry. He can make passes for these forwards. They are now concentrating on defence. After buying Toure. They look at Lescott. All I can say it is exciting times at Manchester City !.
