Mcpointy on comms oh joy

Perhaps you should just watch Corrie

 

[2sheikhs]

Didn't camel say not long ago that Aguero was the best striker he's ever played against? What's changed?

Surprised Iheanacho isn't on the bench. Seems like overkill having both Sane and Navas.

Guessing Kompany isn't fit if he's not in the 18. Odd that he travelled if that is the case.

To be fair if he needs to throw a striker on to score, he's always going to choose Aguero, so Iheanacho may have just been a wasted spot.

Can't see us winning tonight however I'd like us to do better than our last 2 visits and give them more of a game, show we are making progress

 

[Utter bobbins]

Go away

With pleasure

At the Nou Camp for Barcelona v Man City. Aguero on the bench.. and not currently taking part in the warm-up with the other substitutes

Can see the logic in not playing an out and out striker, as flooding the midfield is probably our best hope of controlling possession. Don't think it's a personal snub to Aguero based on his work rate, like some have suggested.

 

[jimharri]

am i the only one who likes this kit?:)

surprise selection but i think we can get something out of this game

There's something weirdly interesting about it. Not sure about "like" though!

Yeah, fair point.

 

[razman]

Aguero doing a tevez! Haha

 

[Bewar3them00n]

Brave formation, hope it works or their will be Spanish omelette all over Pep's face!!!

Nah it says the program has already started, don't think Sky get the 'freeview' games tbh.

Hmm, that's odd.

 

[MCFC1993]

If you see anything on social media like the above and people claiming it to be a Tevez, ignore it, he didn't warm up against Everton either.

 

[MCFC1993]

Hmm, that's odd.

He was the only one who didn't warm up against Everton as far as I remember.
