I must have had to much Stella - 3 posts on this page starting Sergio - thought he was still banned for Saturday

EDIT: Doh - best leave the Stella alone for a while

Has an English team ever before played 3 consecutive competitive games outside England but still within Britain? Or even "just" outside England?

That is a brilliant question. I am guessing the answer is no. How many people will say they went to all 3 games in years to come (like everyone was at York or when we beat huddersfield 10-1).
 
The dangerous 6th game! Well it was last season but under totally different circumstances. Kompany was our Rock and was out I believe. But this year we have Pep!

I was at the 10-1 - First City game! Not at York I'm afraid...on cue the rag alert
 
Swansea boss under pressure could be his last game if we beat them again.

Bravo

Sagna Otamendi Stones Kolarov

Fernandinho Gundogan

Sterling De Bruyne Silva

Aguero

Can't see anything other than a City win especially with Kun back. Hopefully we get through fresh and ready for Celtic on Wed.

Swansea 1 City 3 Aguero & KDB with the goals.

Come on City.

Nolito for Sane and I'm there. Bring Gundogan on in the 2nd half. Nolito is suspended.
 
Still don't like or trust Kolarov at LB. As a CB he is top notch. But he is still shaky at LB
 
I think Silva will start on the bench, and that Swansea are up for a real life nightmare, unlike anything they have encountered before. The tenacity, pace, creativity and efficiency of our midfield + attack is absolutely frightening.​

Bravo
Otamendi Stones
Sagna Fernandinho Kolarov
KDB Gundogan
Sane Aguero Sterling

 
My worry is that Nolito's suspension unbalances the team

The 11 Ric suggested sounds brilliant on paper but who goes where?

In my opinion we should be playing our best players in their best positions, which rules out playing KDB (middle), Silva (middle) or Sterling (right) from the left wing.

Sane hasn't impressed enough as yet to deserve a start (and prefers the right anyway), so does that mean Navas being used in an unfamiliar spot from the left, with Ilk on the bench?

Think de Bruyne will actually end up starting left-ish with Kolly bombing on, but does it make sense to switch the position of the league's best current player?
 
Has the manager gone?

Talkragshite & Hartson as I was having a piss were talking about Giggs being there and what he will do, if the manager still there it was a dreadful piece.

Regardless of who they get it can see them going down this season.

God help them if they get giggs though
