I hope Boyata will be alright

Pellegrini just said 2 games in 2 days is crazy. I said actually it's 2 games in 45½ hours. He said Wow James that's even crazier.


Made me laugh!

SUBS NEWS: Pantilimon, Lescott, Kolarov, Yaya Toure, Rodwell, Negredo, Nasri

Looks like a strong line up to me although I'm not so sure about Panti in goal when we're only going with 2 at the back. 5-3 City.

I like what you did there :-)

In all seriousness though; Kolorov is playing well atm, so should be able to cope in a back 2.

 

[Mr. Aguia]

Garcia starting instead of Rodwell. It shows how much Pelegrini rates Rodwell...

The same thing happened with Isco, he didn't play almost never. But he went step by step and in about 1 year he became an intouchable of the First 11.

Garcia over Rodwell today; looking ominous for those of us who would like to see Garcia moved on in the Jan window. On the other hand, maybe it's just to keep him in the shop window....

Who would take him? Just hopeful thinking mate. Even if we signing a CM he would still be needed for depth.

I think my personal favourite was when he listed his Christmas presents and they all socks and sweaters.

Jovetic injured. In other news Rooney shags grannies and it rained in England today.

Tell me something I don't already know. Pissed off with jovetic, not that it's his fault but why do we always seem to buy a sick note nearly every summer.

As long as silva is there to open the doors a scratch team like this is fine

Not quite so sure as you DD. Garcia and Dzeko will be fuck all use against a parked bus, particularly given the defensively minded full back choices, albeit that Dzeko probably had to play. Would have been inclined to have started Nasri, killed it all off early doors and then brought the reserves on for a run out

Why take a risk when we can go top with a victory?

Palace will be up for this one after their late winner in their last game. Other than get in everybody else's way and generally give the ball away, what is Garcia going to contribute?

Im always an advocate for starting with the best 11 and then changing it when the game is in the bag but im not the boss and the side out should be more than good enough.

Many players currently rested looked tired against liverpool. so this may just be our best eleven

if its good enough for the gaffer, its good enough for me and its more than good enough to do a job against palace today.

That team reeks of Pelli underestimating Palace and thinking it's a guaranteed 3 points. I really hope this doesn't bite us on the arse.

Fucking garbage!

We need a early goal in the second half as how many shots on goal have we had on goal not that many??? Need to back up the win over Liverpool time for players to sort this out.
