City v Arsenal pre-match discussion thread.

I hope Kun finds his form today, he has looked a little out of sorts to me

Quite possibly one of the most bizarre comments I've heard or read anywhere. Ever.

Dont see why. I agree with him.

As good as he has been this season, Lescott potentially cost us two points at Liverpool, and a point (and our unbeaten record) at Chelsea - he needs a kick up the arse, which is exactly what Mancini is giving him today.

Its just a shame Kolo is the strongest back up we have at Centre Half, as I don't feel at all confident with him playing today!

Yeah he scored an OG, but it was hardly on purpose and the penalty was unlucky as well imo

I agree - but they were very costly mistakes, which were due to a lack of focus and concentration at key moments - he needs a kick up the arse - I'm not saying drop him permanently, but he needs to be more switched on to danger than he has been in the last few games if we're going to achieve our goals this season

Who's the ref?

 

[Holland]

Kolo and Zabaleta hmmm. Richards and Mario hmmm. I think is not so good. With these 11 I will expect 1-3 pitty.

He was at complete fault for the penalty. He shat himself and raised his arms instead of letting the ball hit him. You have defenders like Terry doing diving headers at peoples feet and getting kicked in the head and then you have Lescott who shits himself at a ball hitting his head.

Phil Dowd - hope there are no stupid mistakes today

This team actually has me in a panic.

Kolo I can see doing okay (would prefer les mind) and Zabs at right back should be fine. Micah being back too is great.

But Nasri I can see becoming none existent during the game because of the boos, he seems like the kind of guy who lets things like that get to him :/ (poor guy, i really rate him)

Oh, and Yaya. He starts every match, he is lazy for 70% of it. Would of much prefered Milner.

I know I sound like such a defeatist prick, but I wanted to be honest and I reckon some people agree with me. Moreover I hope I get proved wrong.

Tough day to be Pab Zab! I expect walcott to give him a hard time today. Unlike others I'm not arced about leaving lescott ou. He get's bought in possession too often and with the pace of Arse we can't afford for our CBs to give the ball away cheaply.

How many boos do you expect for Nasri? It'll be fuck all compared to the CC game at the new library a few weeks back, which did seem to get to him.
