Am I the only one not fussed Yaya is out?

I love Yaya but he hasn't played well so far this season and we need legs in midfield today, which he never has. We still have technical quality to cause them a lot of problems.

Big day for Fernandinho.
 
Why wouldn't you even put Yaya on the bench. Surely his fit enough for the last 10 mins if things aren't going your way

#in my dream team the fucker.

Because Lampard is poor and has zero pace. And he hasn't played in very long time. I expect Arsenal will dominate the midfield area. However Aguero,Silva,Navas could hurt them on the counter.
 
It is the best line up we can put with Bayern Munich and Chelsea our next two fixtures and injuries to both Jovetic and Fernando.

Got to agree with that. Last 30 minutes could be crucial.

BT had the team with a midfield two with Miller out on the right. That better not be the case.

Milner will be out left, Silva in behind Aguero, Navas right.

Please no.

Has to be five in midfield.
 
I'd expect Dzeko, Kolarov, Nasri, Yaya and possibly Mangala to come in midweek against Bayern.

Strong squad we have. Think Lampard will surprise a few today with how good he still is.

Looks like a 4-5-1 morphing into 4-3-3 on the counter to me anyway

That's exactly what it is, with Navas perhaps working the flank, defensively, more than Milner?

Milner will need to tuck in more central as Lampard will struggle to do nothing more than hold.

So much responsibility on Aguero and Silva. They need to close down quickly or we will have Arsenal coming on to us far too quickly.
 
i am happy with that team. at least he isnt making the mistake of going two up front and Navas pace should help on the counter.

Lampard knows what he is doing. He may be getting on but he is a good player.
 
firstly this has totally fucked up my dream team.. not only is yaya out but i subbed jovetic yet forgot to press confirm so hes still in my front 2 along with dzeko! FFS :@

More importantly, lets not panic.. massive game for fernandinho... comon blues!
 
Not optimistic about this one. But sometimes when you don't expect city to win, they do. So does that mean I'm actually optimistic about us winning? Fuck, I'm confused.

Lamps will defo sit and that´s all - similar to his last days at Chavs - Milner to help out Silva with defensive duties on the left but not playing wide left is how I would both see and prefer it
 
Apparently, we have not lost two league games on bounce since 2010!!!

How times have changed!

Lampard is bound to be rusty but he gives us great intelligence.

Let him take any of the free-kicks with Yaya missing, always seems to make the keeper work.
