City v Hull - pre-match thread

[Manchester_lalala]

Pellegrini will start one youngster and bring the 2nd one in the last 4 minutes.

Yep.

So what will people say if we player some of the kids and we get beat.

City should not under estimate Hull. Flying high in the championship & their only realistic chance of major silverware.

Playing the odd one V a team from the Championship should not make too much different to the result

No idea. But l know the Pellegrini thread will be hot.

The odd 'un will come from the EDS, not the U16s! One or two shouldn't make a difference. Willy in net, solid back four, couple of greyhounds covering the middle, decent set of strikers and a couple of kids. I expect Pellers to be on the phone before the press conference. to see if I have anybody particular in mind.

Would love to see Nacho get a start, we need to give him minutes if we actually intend to reap the benefits of his obvious potential

Caballero
-Sagna--Demichelis--Otamendi---Clichy
Fernando
-----Navas---Silva---Delph--De Bruyne
Aguero

Subs: Wright, Maffeo, Adarabioyo, Toure, Sterling, Kalechi, Bony

Semi final up for grabs. No taking the win for granted. Hopefully get SIlva and Aguero off at HT

2nd half if we can grab a few early
Caballero
-Maffeo--Demichelis--Otamendi---Clichy
-----Navas---Fernando--Delph--De Bruyne
Kalechi----Bony​

This post is so beautifully laid out it deserves a reply.

I don't agree with your team though, I wouldn't start Aguero or KDB.

Pellers is not a big friend of experiments. He would need a very good reason for himself to drop a fully fit forward like Bony to let young Kelechi start. I cannot see that. Pellers is aware that it would be a slap for Bony that way. Kelechi for MP still is a sub who always should be ready for a next chance. There still is a hierarchy in a team which is important. Mix it up without a good reason and it takes some time for stabilizing.

Bony was brought to City to score. This game is a next chance to feed him the way he needs. By missing Sergio too often we cannot afford to drop Bony right now. Or maybe not yet. For sure he has to deliver some time soon.
