West Ham (H) - Sat 20th Dec, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

[The Lightbowne Cowboy]

I'll be there tomorrow in CB 023 and boy am I excited to watch this absolute phenomenon Cherki. Each time I've watched him I just scratch my head at just how fucking insane he is! Going to the match on a Saturday at 3pm and being totally n utterly excited to watch a player/players is what football should be all about. Watch him have a 3/10 stinker now. Ha. C'MON CITY!!

Will be nice to get a convincing win & be top at Xmas...can see Everton beating or drawing with Arsenal and Man Yoo giving Villa a hard game on Sunday. Things seem to be settling down for City recently and we are well poised for a winning run to the New Year & beyond. Hopefully Rodri will comeback stronger than ever after his recent injury troubles & the afcon players will be much fitter after a run of games. Doku will be raring to go mid January...Reijnders made some top class passes down the wings on Wednesday, 4-0 tomorrow...Foden, Cherki, Savinho & Haaland.

All the injured players are still injured.

Pep said he is happy here and wants to stay were his parting shots before the embargo.

 

[Newman Noggs]

Those press conferences must get so tedious for Pep. Just about every question was about when he's going to leave. The same questions for 10 years.

Pep said he is happy here and wants to stay were his parting shots before the embargo.

Also, he said some of the injured players will probably return to training before Sunderland.

Rodri, Kova, Doku and Bobb?

 

[paul power]

Rodri, Kova, Doku and Bobb?

Stones ?

 

[GOULDYBOBS]

Taking my little girl to her first ever match tomorrow. Will be a bit different than my usual matchday routine. MCFC OK

 

[Zenmanc]

Stones ?

Stones doesn't actually "get injured": it's multiple planned extended world vacations with Eccles Blue that they don't want the world to know about.

 

[tackeds]

Stones ?

I think Kova is written off until at least March so would imagine he means Rodri, stones, Doku and Bobb.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

I think Kova is written off until at least March so would imagine he means Rodri, stones, Doku and Bobb.

If out until at least March m, I wonder will Kovacic be left out of the squad should we dive into the January Market.
Would be harsh

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

I think Kova is written off until at least March so would imagine he means Rodri, stones, Doku and Bobb.

Yep spot on. Kova is long term. The others should be back in the new year.

I will happily stick my neck on the line here and say the savinho haters are going start eating some humble fucking pie soon.

From the Hammers KUMB site (knees up mother brown)...
"Assuming Citeh play to Pep's instructions, I don't know how they win so.many matches, cos, I'm damned if I can understand a ****ing word the geezer says"
Hahaha!!

 

[ballon-]

Think Savinho will start, Reijnders on the bench. Rest of the team picks itself, can't see any big surprises.

Standard 3-1 win prediction

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Even though as City fans we have a weeks break after this I'm looking forward to watching Marmoush on Monday for Egypt & Ryan alt Nouri on Wednesday for Algeria.

 

[TShed]

Will be there in body but sadly not mind as meeting in Town at 11-30 to celebrate 68th birthday and 60 years watching the best team in the land and all the world
It all started on Saturday 11th December 1965

 

[Zenmanc]

I will happily stick my neck on the line here and say the savinho haters are going start eating some humble fucking pie soon.

I hope so. Never hated the kid per se just really landed in my doghouse with his Arse performance and only recently started poking his nose out of late. To be fair he's had no run of games this season and now that it's basically by necessity hopefully he'll make good.
