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

[eversince 76]

Other than the odd exception there is never an easy game in the PL this year. And if it is we are turning it around to a hard energy spilling match 9 out of 10. No matter what starting 11 or the formation. That is how inconsistent we are.

We will know the starting 11 and the formation on paper an hour before k-o. After 10 min. play we will also know what players like to put in an effort on the day. So impossible to predict anything.

It makes me laugh all this get comfortable then rest players,we would have to be 3-0 up to be comfortable and that is no going to happen,hughes wouldn't let it

Rest nobody strongest team must start.

Hart

Sagna Otamendi Mangala Clichy ( If Fit )

Fernando Fernandinho

Navas Yaya KDB

Aguero

Get the game won then start thinking about resting players. Sat just as important as Tue imo.

PELLEGRINI: “@samnasri19 hasn’t recovered 100 per cent. I hope for next game he’ll be okay. Rest of the squad (inc. @21LVA) is fit.” #mcfc

PELLEGRINI: “The best way to prepare for Tuesday is to beat Stoke, to score goals, keep a clean sheet and that will help us prepare.” #mcfc
PELLEGRINI: “Very important we’re in #UCL Semi Final but that doesn’t mean we’re not worried about #BPL” #mcfc
PELLEGRINI: “@vincentkompany felt very good after game, he doesn’t have any problems.” #mcfc

If Bony starts tomorrow we are fucked he is one lazy sod and contributes next to nothing.

Nasri is a loss but hopefully we'll start a strong side tomorrow judging by Pellegrini's comments.
