don't care the scoreline.
just wish City win and all of them playing good football.

How far away is Kompany from playing ?

Think it's just waiting for his bloods to come back 100% this could be his last chance to prove his fitness so don't think the club want to take any chances.

I can never get it to work on an I pad. Instead of quick seats try choose seats above. On my laptop shows entire stadium.

Cheers. I'll try that.

I was thinking Swansea, but if he was fit, wouldn't he make the bench for league games?

Bit concerned today that we have quite a few players out (Kompany, Silva, Aguero, Fernando, Delph and possibly Gundogan) and with the CL game on a Weds, this might impact our performance

I suppose the problem is that, as a centre back, its more difficult to manage his re-introduction as a sub. It only really works if we're 3 up after an hour and can afford to "waste" an otherwise unecessary substitution. We cant really bring him on in a close game because he might just break down straight away, or other subsitutions might be necessary to win the game. And there's a chance that if one of the cb's is injured early in the game he might have to play for longer than would be ideal.

Can't find which channel it's on ?

Great chance to lay down a marker, open a small gap and 8 straight wins, get it done city, lets stamp some real authority on this division, strongest team for me.

 

[blueinsa]

strongest team for me.

Beauty of a Pep team is you no longer worry about who he picks or leaves out as you know the team will perform.

Really looking forward to this and every game now.

what pep and the players have done so far has been a winning formula, I believe in the saying dont change whats not broken.. the worst thing we can do is throw a new side in to rest everyone then watch b mouth sneak the win.

bravo

this is a big game.. keep our foot on the gas and dont be complacent..

pep has been clever rotating his full back and nolito to keep them fresh as he asks a lot of them.
if we come through today with a win we have a league cup game where we can introduce sane from the start and possibly rest a few.

3-0 nacho double and sterling.
