Would have liked to have seen Delph in for Fernando but team is as expected otherwise

MCFC: Hart, Sagna, Demichelis, Otamendi, Kolarov, Fernando, Fernandinho, De Bruyne, Silva, Sterling, Bony.
Subs: Caballero, Clichy, Humphreys, Delph, Garcia, Navas, Iheanacho.

 

[Blue Smarties]

Lol, he's actually dropped Delph.

 

[bluemoon98]

Poor bench tbh but the game should be wrapped up with who we have on the starting line up.

 

[Jazzman]

Maybe Delph needs to be rested a bit coming back from injury.

 

[Quad]

Delph only just come back from injury so might be resting him as big game Tuesday

But bony ffs

Stoke gone pretty and tricky up front, left some of their thugs on their bench.

 

[LittleEgg]

Should win this. Not the place it used to be.

Stoke home form: P6 W2 D1 L3

I think that is a temporary thing...more down to dealing with no nzonzie.

 

[oasis-city-greek-fan]

If play clichy on the left today and that's my team too.

Κolarov got his rest midweek .Maybe Sagna needs a rest too

 

[Blue Smarties]

Sick of these decisions from Manuel, he never plays his best available team.

 

[Silva_Spell]

They have quite a few quick agile players in attacking areas. Never like to see Fernando vs teams like that eg. Liverpool

Whats the betting that bastard Adam will clobber Dave.

My thoughts exactly.
The dirtiest player in the league. No surprises he plays for Sjoke.

 

[blueparrot]

But still top,funny that maybe he knows more than you.

Sick of these decisions from Manuel, he never plays his best available team.

HTF do you know he hasn't.

 

[dubblue]

Delph and Kelechi should have started. All too predictable from our predictable manager

Delph rightly rested after so many injuries. Otherwise little option.
