Stoke vs. City Pre Match Thread

[LittleEgg]

Yaya is not playing, injured

Well i can only see you guys controlling the game in that case...we have to rely on defensive frailty, and complacency later on if the score isn't beyond repair. I'd be far more confident if we still had N'Zonzie.

Excited for the game, its not one we'd be expecting to win normally so a win win for me.

We have a new youngster on the bench tomorrow - Cameron Humphries. CB who played against Real Madrid in pre-season!

Excellent news,while im not as excited about his future as i am Tosin,its great experience for the kid and he must be impressing behind the scenes.

I'm happy for him, he's a nice lad. CB is definitely our strongest position in the academy.

Team for me but think navas will miss out for wilf

 

[buckshot]

I'm sure MP will start Bony in the hopes that the ball will strike him as he's standing around and carom into the net.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

I wish he'd shoot more, he's got a real carom on him

 

[Silva_Spell]

Maybe go with a battling CM?

Hart
Sagna---Demichelis---Otamendi--Kolarov
Fernando
Dinho-----Delph
----Silva-------Iheanacho----De Bruyne

Caballero, Clichy, Humpreys, Garcia, Navas, Sterling, Bony


Obv. would be easy to go with Dinho, Delph, De Bruyne, Sillva, Sterling/Navas, Bony/Iheanacho​

 

[ojeme]

Navas not even in the 18?

thought he was out injured at the time

It's a wet and windy day at Stoke.

the rain seems to have stopped now and the birds have started up their chorus so i expect it will hold off.

the wind is crisp, blowing like billy-o, which makes it feels colder than it is,
& stoke are used to playing in the wind so it certainly suits them more than us.

the skies are light grey with bits of blue trying to poke through.
wrap up everyone, should be a cracker.

c'mon city!

Probably better to stick with the shopping actually, seeing as we're going to lose!

Game in Turks Head for me today, probably full of rags but ....... then on the markets with Mrs Moon and her sisters & partners.

The knack is each set of stalls has a bar, get a drink as you'll get in the way, let the ladies look round then as they approach get them a drink and yourself another. Works a treat

Good job Navas isn't playing today with this fucking wind, he'd end up back in Manchester by half time.
