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

[Father Paul]

Praying that Nasri is back, we can get comfortably ahead, and then withdraw him around 70 minutes.
Would be nice to win just one early start this season, so out of the traps quickly for a change.

Why would we withdraw him after 70 if he is fit to start and won't be involved on Tuesday.

Think he'll start Bony & Nacho in this and rest Kun who will be used if we're not clear by 60 mins.

Personally I'd go 451 with Nacho starting and play with loads of width with Spanish Dave spraying the ball around.

Bony will play against Stoke, impossible to field Aguero 48 hours before Pelegrini's biggest game of his era ( from Pellers eyes, mind you).

Its a tough one. If Bony had shown any kind of form I'd agree with you but we need to win this game, so surely Aguero starts and you just hope we can get a couple of goals up and then bring him off?

I can see this side being a big gamble from Pellegrini. Stoke are on the beach but west Brom were and they troubled us.

Surely we must wrap Sergio in cotton wool? Bony might actually be half useful for this game given the height of the Stoke team. Nasri if fit is a must given that he can't play on Tuesday

Why not just play Iheanacho if he wants to rest Bony?
