Cardiff City Vs City Pre match Discussion Thread

[Dynamo11]

Of all the promoted sides I think Cardiff have the most sting, I think they'll get a goal. Malky will get them pressing high up the pitch tirelessly in attempt to throw City off their pace, Pelle will be patient and will just bide his time. Wouldn't be surprised if Cardiff lead 1-0 for something like 40 minutes and City still win 3-1

I hope both Richards and Jovetic get some minutes in this game, other than that just a swap for Vinny and maybe some other changes where Pellers see's fit and we're ready to go! I'd go with the same team bar Kompany, but I get the feeling we'll see some changes.

Why do people keep talking about Richards? Isn't he out for 2 or 3 weeks tweaking a hamstring in training, according to his own tweet?

It's Boyata or Javi Garcia mate, so lets hope Cardiff haven't too much to offer up front.

I can see this one being close for 20 minutes or so but if City can settle down and start pressing them I think we will be comfortable 2-0 winners in the end. These are the games that we need to win if we want our title back...

 

[EddieR]

I was referring to your other winger

Yes, obviously. Nooney won't give Zabaleta a minutes rest

Well I got it if noone else did!

Obviously a misunderstanding when Malky said ' There's noone I'd rather see in that position'......

I'll go with a tough 2-1 or 3-1 win on the road. Dzeko/Aguero with goals.

Richards is constantly injured , so it's absolutely no surprise to hear that he is yet again .....

as for the choice of Boyata or Garcia in defence , then it has to be Boyata.

Although i'm sure i read that it's possible Nastasic might make it ...

FFS I can't believe what I'm reading on here, I don't care if they are up for it or not, saw this exact stuff right before Newcastle, we stick to our game plan and we will win, if not through sheer quality.

If only it always worked that way .. we'd have few problems , wherever we went !

Wasn't aware he'd even got a new Twitter mate, since he deleted his old one ages ago due to morons on there I think. Boyata has looked alright in pre-season, but I don't fancy him next to Lescott and neither Garcia either haha, I'd been hoping Nastasic would be fit but that's wishful thinking.

 

[Forzacitizens]

Is Nastasic going to be fit for Sunday?

 

[SkyBlueUSA]

It is Cardiff, and I'm not underestimating them, I expect a tough game. I would throw Boyata out there if Nastasic can't go.
