Kelechi needs game time as he is in the Champions league squad. Toisin as a centre half sub.

When will people realize that MP will never play Kelechi ahead of Bony? Sure, Bony is horrible and a waste of space and yes, Kelechi brings energy and goals but Bony's transfer fee was much higher so he's obviously the better choice.
 
Willy
Sagna
Otamendi
Mangala
Clichy
Fernandinho
Delph
Navas
Yaya
Silva
Aguero

De bruyne and Nasri to make there returns. Still can't see us winning this one.

I think he has started Kelechi before. I also think Pell was getting Bony back up to match fitness after a period of injury. He hasn't set the world alight but I'd hope all blues will be rooting for him when he plays again. So i expect Kelechi to get a start or two now as he's in the Champions league squad. City have looked very good (Bony included) away in the Champions league so maybe we will see some great performances to finish the
season similar to the great start. Its a shame the middle has been so poor.
 
See this ending in a draw. A 0-0 or 1-1. Bournemouth will want to get as many points on the board as they can regardless of wherever they look safe or not and there's no better scalp than the mercenaries at City (that's not my opinion obviously, but it's how we're portrayed)
Our recent form hasn't given me cause for optimism, though the returning players are definitely a much needed boost. They will swarm us and stick rigidly to a game plan. We'll likely match them with the game plan part but not the other unfortunately..

These sailors are going to get one pell of a lesson in football this weekend. It's no more Mr Nice guy as far as Pellegrini is concerned. We are going to see from Saturday until the end of the season just how 'nice & charming' Senor Manuel is. Hang on Pablo1...your in for the ride of a lifetime.

I can't wait - hope the excitement doesn't finish poor Manuel off.

Ha ha. That's very good. He's a lot stronger than people realise. It's a skill being able to keep cool under immense pressure from knob'ead journos & others constantly calling for his head. Anyways it's the business end of the season now. Its time for "Will the real Pellegrini please stand up?" Eminem style ;-)

KDB's rest (yes i know he was rehabbing) might also bring his form back to what it was in the fall.
-he was tearing it up, and it seemed like the schedule was taking a toll. If he can play close to fall form, i think our worries about top 4 go away quickly.

Played just 19 League games but 4th in the Premier league assists table and 12 goals in all competitions. He has been our most influential player. I'd like to see him given a free role. Pellegrini seems to be willing to build his team around some players and make all kinds of allowances but if we did the same for KDB we'd get bigger rewards

This Bournemouth game perhaps comes a bit too soon for us with the injured players not having much football and the game being so close to PSG. We need to take 4 points from Bournemouth and WBA and then with KDB, Nasri and Delph back in the flow we should be able to finish the season strongly.

I'm sorry mate but injuries and Champions League tie still being considered, we need to be taking 6 points off of these two teams with no fear of relegation and nothing to play for.
