They must be so fucking happy that Silva and Aguero are missing.

 

[Claytop]

Interesting Otamendi over Mangala and dropping Navas.

Decent I reckon though.

 

[Proy]

Happy with that.

Would have preferred Navas for Bony but otherwise ok

 

[oakiecokie]

Slightly disappointed that Navas isn`t starting as I felt he could have really got around their full back.Ah well at least Komps is back ... every cloud etc.

 

[5948947]

Kompany starts 3 in the middle

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Yaya behind Bony then? Lots of interchangeable options to manage the game there.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

Really pleased he's stiffened up the midfield, Yaya and Fernandinho as the two could have been catastrophic. Navas unlucky with his recent form though but he'll get a good go off the bench no doubt.

 

[Blumers Bloomers]

Their back four there to be had

 

[imtangledupinblue]

I'll go with that.

 

[roj]

Plenty of lads in there to intercept sideways balls. Nice.

 

[Ducado]

I think we will miss Navas

 

[M3 Blue]

Fern and Fern is probably a good call, definitely shores us up in midfield. Come on City!

 

[m32blue]

Navas recent performances surely warranted a start today. Whio will start on the right Sterling or Kev ? Otamendi before Mangala a surprise

 

[deano ou812]

Is mangala injured?thought he would have started alongside kompany as they looked rock solid first five games big game for ottamendi to be thrown into even though he has had a run of games...

 

[Blue Maverick]

Navas/ Nacho on with 20 minutes mins to go already 3-0 up can feel 6-0 coming on

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Their back four there to be had

And that midfield, target the pig farmer.

 

[teddykgb]

So is this 4-3-3 or is Yaya gonna be forward?

 

[Jack the United fan]

Valencia and Rojo should give you plenty. Not happy with our full backs at all, Darmian and Blind are better choices. Perhaps he went for pace and power over intelligence, but even so i can see Sterling and De Bruyne having a lot of joy down both sides.

 

[Lancet Fluke]

I think we will miss Navas

Hopefully he will come on after 60 mins and run them ragged.

 

[solley attwell]

With the exception of Otamendi it will give every City player a psychological lift knowing Kompany is in the side. With all the shit in the media Pellegrini playing a blinder and knocking the wind out of the rags sails early on
