City v Sunderland Pre Match Thread (CoC Final)

[MC ID]

For me I wanna see:

Hart
Zabs-Komps-lescott-Kola
Yaya-Fern
Navas-silva-nasri
Negredo

Just bloody smash Sunderland to bits and use their tears as fuel for our PL run. Fuck knows where this confidence has come from the past couple of days I've been convincing myself we are gonna loose what with the wigan screwjob/sunderland bogey team factoring in.

Zabaleta - Kompany - Demichellis - Kolarov

___________Garcia - Fernandinho

___Nasri -------------- Yaya -------------- Silva

_____________Negredo/Dzeko

Can't decide between Negredo and Dzeko. Negredo is better but he's been awful in his last few games, Aguero and Navas on off the bench.

It would be harsh to take Pantilimon out of goal.

imo its a must to grab an early goal otherwise I sense a sunderland park the bus job with them getting a late one ,after we have passed them to death, and run out of ideas Neither Negredo or Dzeko fills me with confidence as both are having a bit of a mare at present ,but I would only bring Aguero on if there is 15 minutes to go and we are in the poop and somebody is looking for a red ribbon

Oh yeah I agree, slipped my mind there. I'd definitively start Panti.

Very giddy already. Sorting out the pub to watch it at, and contemplating a rough Monday in work.
3 nil Blues, over by half time.<br /><br />-- Sun Feb 23, 2014 6:57 pm --<br /><br />Very giddy already. Sorting out the pub to watch it at, and contemplating a rough Monday in work.

Any bets how long it will take Martin Tyler to mention Dennis Tuearts overhead kick?

 

[Frank the Yank]

For Yanks . . . best I can tell, the final is not on TV in the USA . . . can that be right? Just listed as a Sirius XM radio game. Would hate to have to find a dumpy stream for a Cup final.

Man that totally blows if true. Amidst the number of channels that show footbal, there has to be ONE channel that will show it!!

Well it won't be mentioned before..

1.The scum
2.City's lean spell.
3.Wigan beating us in FA cup.
4.Chelsea
5.City's poor defence/Demi

in a one off final forget past results and form make no mistake sunderland will be up for it, me il be looking forward to an early goal and then another before i can rest, if we get to the 70th and its 0-0 il be worried all it takes is a deflection or a bad call from the ref.
COME ON YOU BLUES

Almost every team who gets to the Final are up for it. Exception was us.

On that big Wembley pitch, if we get it right we should beat Sunderland and they will be powerless to stop us. Whether we'll reach the standard we're capable of no one knows. But it should give us confidence, If we play to the level we are capable of we will win. Even Poyet would admit that

But that applied to the Wigan FA Cup Final. And it applied when Arsenal played Birmingham recently
