City v Hull - pre-match thread

Well he see's them both in training every day unlike yourself so he's probably better judged to have reasons that will be "unknown" to you.

Yep, 26 million of them (:

So Kelechi won't even get a start against a championship team in the fucking cup? What's that all abou? Why the heck did we invest 200m on the youth academy? This is not only bad for Kelechi's confidence and development but also it will be very hard to make young talented players to join us.

I thought I told you to keep shtum about that?

Unless Bony turns into Messi in training, it is unknown to me. Iheanacho has impressed everytime he's been on the field with excellent vision and composure while Bony seems to be wearing a backpack of rocks every time he moves.

Would Merlin strike you as a captain? I'd have thought one of the two CBs would be more suitable as leaders on the pitch. Hey ho, I guess we need to trust MP on this. Also, I would have liked to see Kel starting the game and then look at the way the game is panning out at HT. Anyway, come on you blues!

A captain in the sense of how he plays/the respect he has in the game. Im sure Messi and other attacking players have been captain of their teams, its pretty normal.

And playing Nacho ahead of Bony would be good for Bonys confidence. Like it or not Bony is 2nd choice and needs to get some form. If we're cruising then Nacho may get some game time second half.

Apart from Maybe Kelechi getting the nod, thats a very strong line up tonight. You can bet every last penny that we want to see this through and win the comp going off that team which is pretty much our first team minus aguero, hart and toure.

Anyway I think we'll do it tonight. Come on city!

I didn't mean picking a midfielder rather than defender as a captain; I was thinking more about the psyche of the individual players. Would Merlin be, for want of a better word, "imposing" enough to lead the side? He always comes across as a quietly spoken lad who shies away from the limelight.

Really strong team tonight. Looks like Manuel is looking to get this won early and then rest players ready for Stoke. V Happy with the line up.
