Cardiff (A) Pre Match Thread

[Dr Jacoby]

Bar Merlin’s exclusion, it’s pretty much an expected line-up.

Vinny seems frozen out?

 

[Bluep*ss]

Slightly off topic BUT - Do I need a digital radio to listen to Andy Buckley and Fred Eyre on 95.1 Dab?
I have always listened to 95.1 FM but it appear that they have switched the City games to Dab.
You might think it is a 'stupid' question but I have missed the last 2 games (on Radio) - Fulham and Lyon.
I have sent an email to Radio Manc. - but had no reply.

Vinny seems frozen out?

He played both international games,i'm sure there is no conspiracy,he is not number 1 CB anymore

 

[domalino]

Vinny seems frozen out?

Him and Otamendi are 3rd and 4th choice centre backs. They aren't going to play every week.

Kompany played Huddersfield and Wolves, now Otamendi's getting a go.

 

[Gazza]

I bet their neanderthal fans boo Sane.

Gundogan is an unusual choice , do like him as a player but he was awful against Lyon and doesnt deserve his place today , Merlin obviously being rested and we will miss KDB's stength today , the only way cardiff will score is from a set piece or if we gift them a goal ,and not in favour of rotating the centre backs every game , this match is made for Vinny we need his leadership defending set pieces , it could get interesting if Cardiff score first.

Ilkay in again? What is he seeing?

 

[Cityfan]

Good to see the Gun dog playing, we might need a bit of German steel against Cardiff.

Yep Dab means you need a digital radio pal. Do they not do a radio stream on the OS anymore ?

 

[mdj0520]

Any pubs in town showing it?

 

[BigOscar]

But he’s playing Gundogan, a guy who’s had two serious knee injuries in the past three years

Don't worry, Gundogan never goes anywhere near a tackle these days

 

[mancity1]

That snide bastard Bennett on the bench for them.

At least it might be 70 minutes before Colin brings him on so lets be thankful for small mercies Ric.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Id have play danillo in there for his power or even gomes .just dont see what gundogan offers.

So you’d play Gomes who doesn’t look close to being ready for this level yet?

 

[axlgod]

Reaccessing the Gundogan choice, his tweet after the Lyon game the other day seemed very sincere (to me anyway).
I think he’ll play a blinder.

 

[journolud]

Danilo is not fit. Basic information available to all

I bet their neanderthal fans boo Sane.

Correct.

Hope gundogan has a good game. Rarely does himself full justice but would have to play a blinder every week to get any credit from some on here. There always has to be target for the boo boys

Thanks for that.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

No Silva, no party.

Gundogan destroys the set-up, although Bernardo will hopefully play more centrally.

Feel sorry for Mahrez too.

 

[Churchlawtonblue]

Gundogan is better alongside a direct midfielder, Bernardo should bring that. Ilkay will have a good game

I really hope you are right! Because he really needs one!
