Crystal Palace vs Manchester City - pre-match thread

[mancity1]

That's Pep.

Yaya and VK.

Long live the spine.

 

[bluenation]

Does Dinho ever get any rest!

 

[blingy]

Wtf ...Yaya... wonder what the odds on a goal from him will be.. may be worth a punt

 

[Ric]

Very surprised by that line-up, but good to see Toure back. Where are Stones and Gundogan though?!

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

i think garcia deserves to be ahead of him tbh

Hopefully not injured.

 

[kaz7]

So @YayaToure, @VincentKompany and @Sagnaofficial all return...

 

[MacD]

Very surprised by that line-up, but good to see Toure back. Where are Stones and Gundogan though?!

Both played the full 90 I think in the 2 internationals. Rested hopefully

 

[Benarbia]

I like that team feeling positive

 

[SWP's back]

Very surprised by that line-up, but good to see Toure back. Where are Stones and Gundogan though?!

Hopefully just rested.

Mr T must have been good in training. either that or he has had lots of sex lately

 

[Chi-town blues]

I hope all the players had more sex.

 

[mancity1]

Hopefully just rested.

Pep has rested players already that we thought would at least be on the bench ala Everton and Boro so I am hoping preying both will be on the pitch against BMG.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Come on big man, we want this present you promised....

 

[chaddblue]

Surely Yaya will realise he won't get away with strolling round the pitch for a Pep team?

 

[TheThirdDeano]

I bet yaya knows what's on the line and if he slacks at all he'll be hooked off.

At least I hope. Fun team but I need to know, where is stones??

 

[FantasyIreland]

Very strange line up,leaving out a couple of very influential players and including three that have no match fitness.

 

[BlueMedic]

Left-field that one... Hopefully Fernandinho sitting in the usual 4-1-4-1 rather than Yaya in a 2 as the OS suggests.

 

[razman]

Old school city!!

Pep did mention that stones has played 90 minutes in all the internationals

 

[citytill1die84]

Can see Yaya having a great game certainly has something to prove and fight for.

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

looks like Clichy has paid the price for his shit performance last time out. Lots of height in the side today

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

Fook me arsenal are DS
