2 up top with a goal for Bony and Aguero please :)

Hart
Sagna, Demi, Otamendi, Kolarov
Fernando, Fernandinho
De Bruyne, Sterling
Bony, Aguero

Navas and Iheanacho on on the hour :)

Is Nasri injured? rest Silva and Ya Ya, they looked a bit fooked on Wednesday

 

[Lee the Blue]

Hart

Zabba (Sagna needs a rest)
Otamendi
Demichelis
Kolarov (We should have the ball all day so Kolarov ideal for that)

Fernandinho
Fernando

Navas
De Bruyne
Sterling

Aguero

Ya Ya isn't fit, and I doubt Silva is fully so, thus maybe Dave can go on the bench.

Aguero has to play as we have nobody else fit up top, and playing him into form is what we have to do. Navas also plays due to all the other injuries so he can once again show us his uncanny ability to smack the ball into the full-backs shins, but with the 2 Ferns protecting the wobbly centre halves - Otamendi put on a clinic in ball watching on Tuesday - the back 7 are there to protect the house, and the front 4 are in there to win the game.

No excuses, a win in any which way is imperative.

I'll take any kind of win, just three points in the bag.

I'm starting to dislike these games where teams come to us with a free hit , winjauduim could run all day so we have to go with Fernando and Fernandinho in the middle. Perez is going to cause Demichellis and Otamendi so many problems I can already see. Don't feel confident about this

Anyone know what time the players arrive at the ground? Thought I'll turn up abit early for a change so my lad can see the players

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

I'm travelling up from Somerset for this one!
My first game of the season, I'm brining my old man, bless him he hasn't been able to go for a few years, due to ill health and my young nephew is coming along too, for only his 2nd City game ever!
Can anyone recommend a decent pub near the ground which is least likely to scare the shit out of my nephew?
Cheers in advance.

Hart

Sagna
Demichelis
Otamendi
Zabaleta

Dinho
Nando

Navas
Kdb
Sterling

Aguero



Hopefully a win before the International break, which we desperately need.

Silva and Yaya confirmed out?

 

[Gundogan's Moustache]

If Silva is out Id give Roberts a start I just think he would be more direct and cause more problems than Navas

Roberts-De Bruyne-Sterling

The townley next to the school car park is a decent pub

List here of pubs around the ground

It's absolutely anyone's guess as to what could happen with City now mate. Early season optimism has been replaced with total apprehension no matter who we're playing.

If Pellegrini can't get this team, the most expensive ever assembled in the prem, to play good football and score goals at will, then it really is time to go. Recent performance's have been shite, and it's not good enough.
