City Vs AFC Bournemouth Pre match Thread

[vmsuhail]

Kdb and Dinho haven't had any rest so far. Hope Silva is fit soon.

What a prick, doesn't pay any attention seemingly, or he'd know Kolarov's been as good at CB as anyone in the league this season.

Let's be honest, 5 weeks ago this place would be in meltdown with that decision lol. Mers was very complimentary and waxing lyrical about City. He obviously hasn't seen the games where Kolo played CB and has memory's of last season so let's not be too harsh

 

[Ed2607]

For one of the first times in my 61 year life I am confident!!

Me too :)

 

[Ashleymcduff]

For the record ilkay didn't play 90 mins Wednesday people
He came off as sub so it was 80 mins ;) lol

Cmon city 3-0 nolito raz and KDB

 

[gman07]

My fantasy team, Pep you...

Oh well, strong line up again, nice to see Kompany back in the squad - tough ask for Gundogan to play 180 minutes in 4 days given his 4 month break, expect to see him subbed.

tihi... my 3 city players are de bruyne, sterling and Iheanacho! :-)))

 

[Kezinstep]

Nope. Stones on the bench is simply giving him a rest. Seeing as he has played in every game

Disagree but either way I have full confidence in Kolarov which is a feeling I'm still not used to. Enjoy the game.

The tablets are working then?

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Bournemouth at home always reminds me of them spoiling our promotion party with a blissett pen in the 98th min. 3 nil up and fecked it up!

 

[Andrew___K]

Howe comes with 433 formation. He'll do his best to impress his idol. Wilshere is starting.

I dont for a second think Pep looks at those 2 and thinks its just 2 cb's sat on the bench either. He can put a player in a position none of us would ever dream to do and its fascinating to watch.

 

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

He saw stones was benched and that Kolorov was playing CB, he then proceeded to put his head in his hands and say " oooooh nooooooo !! This could be the quickest substitution ever"

Clueless idiot

 

[Blueband Brother]

Kompany is back, good to see and hopefully the situation will allow for him to get some minutes later on. Surprised Stones is not starting but I suppose he needs a rest. Fernandinho is a player that also needs a rest,perhaps midweek. De Bruyne as well. Aleix may get some time for Gundugan. The team should keep the same mantra of football for the match and should have more than enough to get the three points.

But I am not getting carried away by expecting a big scoreline, this is the premier league at the end of the day so a win, no injuries and some players effectively substituted during the match will do for me.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

I'm expecting a Sterling goal today. Good memories from his hat-trick last year and all that.

 

[BlueMedic]

I think Garcia will replace gundogan at some point today, he would of done on Wednesday if he was in the champions league squad.

If we're in control of the game I wouldn't be surprised to see that, if it's tighter I can see us moving Kolarov to CM as we did against Gladbach & getting Stones in at CB.

Not quite sure what's wrong with Delph/Fernando but we're a bit short at CM without those two as backup currently.

Will be I cagey game, but a scruffy 1 nil will do for me.

 

[kaz7]

Wiltshire will play out of his skin as usual against us

Beautiful sunny day as well that day. Might be a figment of my imagination but did they have a blow up whale in their end that day?

He has to make it from the dressing room to the pitch in one piece first.

No doubt. You just know every choice he makes has meticulous planning behind. He truly is a revolutionary and it still hasn't sunk in that he's ours.
