CITY v Stoke - Official Match Thread

[Philyio]

Good to see Kompany getting a start at Centre Half-maybe he can babysit Toure through the game. As for playing Robinho and Petrov ahead of the the best-performing player on the team (Bellamy)-what a joke decision.

Clearly Mancini intends to pick players on the basis of reputations and not their form-not an encouraging start....

Mancini out!

Is Petrov's reputation really that much better than Bellamy's? I thought it was established that Bellamy couldn't play two games in a week anymore due to his knee.
