Everything going down the right in that team, Silva will drift inside and Clichy is next to useless on the overlap.

Fortunately, today, West Ham play 4-4-2 so should be ideal for us.

I hope so, because at face value that's a very lightweight looking midfield again (from a defensive point of view). West Ham are far more mobile and tenacious in that area than they were last year. I predict a far tougher afternoon than we had at Hull or Villa

I certainly don't think it'll be easy, I'm just slightly less concerned about Yaya in a two when that's what they are doing - Noble and Song are nothing special.

Yep, worried about this one. Even more so with the graft of Milner missing.

Boom.

Yaya,in a 2,without Milner in the side,not good.

Pellers is playing a dangerous game.

That's the way he rolls.

CITY XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (C), Mangala, Clichy, Toure, Fernando, Navas, Silva, Aguero, Dzeko

WHUFC starting XI: Adrian, Jenkinson, Collins, Reid, Cresswell, Noble (c), Song, Amalfitano, Downing, Valencia, Sakho

 

[Benarbia]

No Milner just don't understand. Been consistently the best player along with Sergio it's just mental stop the fucking rotating

Thanks a lot. Why is fernandinho not starting??. For once i would like to see how the mf trio of yaya fernando and fernandinho will work,but i don't think i will get to see that while Pellegrini is at charge,anyway come on City.
