City v Southampton pre match thread

Few people underestamating saints. I agree dinho needs that booking in the game but wouldn’t be resting anyone

Good point, we can rest players against Shakhtar and Leicester in the cup.

When does booking accumulation reset?

1st of January you need 10 bookings to get a suspension (2 games).

Everybody seems to be concerned that Fernandinho is one booking away from a suspension. We have exactly the same issue with Sane. He's on four bookings now too.

You would imagine/hope that both players start against Southampton with the explicit instruction to pick up a soft yellow at some point. If not, then expect them not to feature against West Ham. The derby’s too important to risk losing either.

Everyone wanting Fernandinho to get a yellow Card - easier said than done in a match situation. What if it goes wrong and he gets a red

Should just do what Carvajal did midweek for Real.
Or failing that just kick the ball away

What!??

Leave me alone. I've been predicting 1-1 since the Everton game.............. you've fucking jinxed it now!

 

[malg]

Christ, you'd think we were kicking teams off the pitch. Where are we in the Fair Play League? Not that I think we'll need it for European qualification..... remember those days?

Fern assist Sane goal.. both do ridiculous goal celebration and double yellow card

Dinho to play and not get a booking for me, well no silly booking on purpose. Then rest him versus West Ham. Odds on he`ll get booked at the swamp, then he can miss Swansea away.

Too risky for me that, especially as the FA will have briefed the men in black
