City v Southampton pre match thread

[grim up north]

It could be anything as minor as a cold with Sane. Some people going over board

Or having a rest

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I'd like to see Raz on the score sheet again tonight. He's already bagged his best ever goal return in a single season in all competitions for a single club, and we're not even halfway through the season yet.

All will be revealed in good time,jumping to conclusion certainly isn't to anyone's benefit.

Need Kevin to perform as theres not a lot of creativity without sane and merlin. Bernardo not getting the Silva gig is telling. He's been a disappointment so far.

True, but then you’d expect he’d be on the bench

Hope we are not pushin our luck with debruyne fitness. But with dave missin guess he had to play

Happy with the team, surprised that Silva has been rested though.

Surprised that Sane is not in the squad but there should be more than enough to see us through.

I suspect we will have a front 3 of Sterling, Aguero and Jesus with KDB & Gundo behind, I am expecting Ferny and Kompany to pick up their books tonight and then get taken off knowing they are both safe for the derby. I think we will see us playing most of the game with a back 3 with one of Walker or Delph supporting the midfield.

Why we have a decent squad

Well Southampton have come to defend 5 Defenders 3 DMs

Both Kompany and Sane are 3 bookings according to stats
