City V Everton pre-match thread.

Be good to win a Coca Cola cup.

Showing your age, it's the capital one cup these days.

It'll always be the League Cup, to me. People know what i mean.

-------------Caballero (I'd go Hart ...)
Zabaleta--Otamendi--Demichelis--Clichy
------------Fernandinho--Delph------------
-----De Bruyne-----Silva------------Sterling
--------------------Aguero--------------------

3-1 City (I hope)

Torn on whether or not to start Toure, but think I'd opt for Fernandinho and Delph, in the hope that it might allow us to start a game with a bit of energy and urgency.

Would certainly give Sterling license to get up alongside Aguero through the middle at times, too, e.g.

-----------Fernandinho---Delph------------
------Silva--------------------De Bruyne----
------------Sterling----Aguero--------------

ffs what ever happened to a straight foward win or extra time and pens,having away goals in this comp is ridiculous

It is standard in two legged ties regardless of the competition, no? I love it by the way...I think the away goal rule makes for fascinating return legs.

 

[the_game_161]

Away goals makes it more exciting

 

[br88]

It is about time we showed how good we can be....we have some brilliant players. Let's forget all the negativity and just go and batter this team. Aguero, Silva, KDB, Yaya,Sterling and the rest.....just show me what you can do lads.....I'm waiting!!!!!!!.

 

[Sergio Picasso Aguero]

Lukaku won't fancy his chances against the Argentinian Neur

 

[Shirley]

I reckon come 90 minutes it will be the same result as last leg just reversed. 2-1 CITY

Could be a difficult choice tonight for the early leavers, miss extra time and possibly penalties or miss the traffic!


Edit........tomorrow, the scousers are not for leaving early!

 

[Blue Smarties]

Is Besic injured?

Exactly, we are all waiting for the pieces to fall in place and away we go

 

[JustAnotherCityFan]

Is Besic injured?

Yes, him and Mirallas have been confirmed to miss the game.

 

[mcfcfc]

Yes, him and Mirallas have been confirmed to miss the game.

what about mccarthy and jaglieka?? will they miss too?

 

[the_game_161]

No Mirallas is a blow for them

 

[kunaguero10]

Nothing against Sagna — he's had a fine season — but Zab in for this one. In the absence of Vinny he is the best natural leader in the team.

He's much more attacking too.

Caballero
Zab
Otamendi
Demichelis
Clichy
Fernandinho
Delph
Silva (right midfield - good linkup with Zab)
KDB (number 10)
Sterling
Aguero

Wouldn't be against Iheanacho starting instead of Sterling though, and I would have no hesitation about going to 442 as early as halftime if things aren't working out.

 

[KDBestplayerintheworld]

It was 0-0 two weeks ago.

won't happen twice

[Dax777]

hopefully we can build on this newfound resilience we've discovered again (unbeaten in six in the league now) and take advantage of the fact that Howard is unlikely to play.

Caballero
Zabaleta - Otamendi - Demichelis - Clichy
Yaya Toure - Fernandinho
Navas - Silva - Sterling
Aguero

Hart, Sagna, Angelino, Fernando, Delph, De Bruyne, Iheanacho.

Fernando or Delph for Yaya. And I believe that's the team Pellars puts out. It will make sense if he did

 

[Blueknows]

No Mirallas is a blow for them

And Besic who is key to their midfield

 

[Hungarian blue]

And Besic who is key to their midfield

He was probably their best performer in both of our recent games, and McCarthy is just returning from an injury if I'm correct, so hopefully Yaya will have it a bit easier in dictating the midfield play this time...

 

[bluemoon98]

All the players seem to be willing the fans to get to the ground and make some noise.

Otamendi getting involved now
