City Vs Bournemouth Pre Match Thread

[mancity1]

They go 4-4-2 with Distin playing.

We should create a lot of chances today even without Silva.

Fuck this shit no Kompany, milton keyens for me.

WOW, VK on as soon as, big big city win

(or bust)

These are the games that I dread, we should have more than enough in the squad to win this game 9 times out of 10, however this is a big, big game for the opposing players and they are going to be fighting like tigers. I'd quite happily take a 1:0 win now with no more injuries or suspensions.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

Big risk playing Fernandinho considering the injuries to other players.
It does make you wonder whether the management are aware of the situation. Dumb decision by MP.

So is Pellegrini showing Kompany that he should not have played for Belgium during the week, or is he saving him for next week?

Perhaps you can let them know if you think they don't.

He can't play 4 games in just over a week anyway
But i hope mp has has words

He would be on the bench today even if he didn't play for Belgium

Well after the farce in the champions league a few years ago then you never know

Then let them know to be sure.

I am glad you think we would have scored again by not making the subs that were made.

Probably see him come on in 2nd half

...if we aren't desperate

The fixtures now will be hectic and important going forward so the team will have to be managed properly by the Pellegrini especially with the injury problems that frustrates him and everyone else. A strong team and a strong bench. It is good to see Nasri back, we are going to need him with Silva out this week. Mangala and Otamendi needs to reestablish the understanding they had at Porto and Otamendi in particular has to establish and settle himself in the team with assuring, solid performances. Kompany should be safe and ready for the midweek fixture and the derby next weekend.

Big few weeks for Bony: an opportunity to start scoring and develop confidence in that aspect. Iheanacho and Roberts on the bench, which is good to see. This is an important game in which we should get the three points and hopefully that is the case.

 

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

I know football isn't played on paper but look at our team compared to theirs. Even without Kompany, Silva and Aguero we should still be destroying a team like that. Champions League players against Championship players should be no contest. Hoping Sterling and Bony can get some goals to boost their confidence.

That's the thing about football you just never know on the day , hence the West Ham result.

Theory and paper are fine but you have to perform on the day and out press, out muscle out think , out smart and obviously outscore the opposition.

If we play with tempo and play to our best then things will be fine , anything less and who knows.

 

[Sc0tt]

let's win this blue boys


FFFs Dzeko


ps love you dzeko

 

[deano ou812]

Regardless of missing aguero and silva and a few others,and with kompany on the bench,we should win today no disrespect to Bournemouth with the eleven that goes onto to the pitch..think it will be a bit like the Watford game and end up 2.0 ...

 

[The Twigg]

Borucs out, Federechi on the starts
