City v Stoke - 23/04/16 - Pre Match Thread

[Luke The Blue]

Why's it being played at 12.45pm when it's not on Sky or BT Sport?

I thought it was on sky?

Will be interesting to see what team Manuel picks for tomorrow. He's been saying for a while now that its important to arrive at the Semi Final winning and playing well. As we didn't do either on Tuesday then he simply must send the strongest available team out to get a positive result, otherwise those words have meant nothing

The game is on sky sports 1

Just really hope we can win this tomorrow and pick up no injuries. It's Hughes cup final like normally we need to start strong from the kick off we can't really afford anymore cockups from now on in the league..

Theoretically we should be able to rest a lot of players and still give them a good beating. I would certainly rest de B, Aguero and Fernandino at the least.

Hart
Zabaleta Kompany Otamendi Kolarov
Fernando Delph
Navas Nasri
Ineanacho Bony

Give Kompany 45min

 

[bellsouth]

I do not see us winning if we rest KDB, Aguero and Fernandinho

Anything but three points and we can just about say goodbye to 4th.

Its that serious especially if we get beaten on Tuesday so we have to start with our best 11.

We must go with a 5 man midfield otherwise Leslie will do the same thing he did last time on our patch.

The way Stoke played last week makes me think that their season is over.

Start strong hopefully get the game killed off around the hour mark then hopefully give us opportunity to rest a few.
