Bournemouth (away) pre-match thread

Confidence is very low. A lot depends on how well our players recover after the long haul flights.

Kelechi needs game time as he is in the Champions league squad. Toisin as a centre half sub.

When will people realize that MP will never play Kelechi ahead of Bony? Sure, Bony is horrible and a waste of space and yes, Kelechi brings energy and goals but Bony's transfer fee was much higher so he's obviously the better choice.

Maybe he'd rather not win the league than break his word to Bony.

I think he has started Kelechi before. I also think Pell was getting Bony back up to match fitness after a period of injury. He hasn't set the world alight but I'd hope all blues will be rooting for him when he plays again. So i expect Kelechi to get a start or two now as he's in the Champions league squad. City have looked very good (Bony included) away in the Champions league so maybe we will see some great performances to finish the
season similar to the great start. Its a shame the middle has been so poor.

EXCLUSIVE : Kevin De Bruyne plays behind closed doors game. He is in the squad that will face Bournemouth.

See this ending in a draw. A 0-0 or 1-1. Bournemouth will want to get as many points on the board as they can regardless of wherever they look safe or not and there's no better scalp than the mercenaries at City (that's not my opinion obviously, but it's how we're portrayed)
Our recent form hasn't given me cause for optimism, though the returning players are definitely a much needed boost. They will swarm us and stick rigidly to a game plan. We'll likely match them with the game plan part but not the other unfortunately..

These sailors are going to get one pell of a lesson in football this weekend. It's no more Mr Nice guy as far as Pellegrini is concerned. We are going to see from Saturday until the end of the season just how 'nice & charming' Senor Manuel is. Hang on Pablo1...your in for the ride of a lifetime.
