Anything is possible with Pep. In a squeeze he would probably play Bravo as a DM.

I would rather see Aleix Garcia get a runout in midfield but that will likely happen next week.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Will the results be shown on teletext typewriters just like the old days starting at 4:40pm? And then we all rushed out to get either the Pink or Green for a report. Jeez I'm getting old.

Watching Big Daddy and the Royal Brothers wrestling, or scrambling before the switch to the teleprinter. As you say the teleprinter started bringing in scores at 4.40pm,

Most games were done and dusted by 4.50pm.

Now they can still be playing at 5pm.

Like your good self I'm also getting old. Me and my missus had a conversation earlier this week about pre paying for our funerals...fooking hell!!

 

[HellasLEAF]

Think we'll put 4-5 past them myself.

Will be a display.

It would be great to use time machine to get two months back and make a prediction on Bluemoon: "we'll discuss a midfield partnership of Garcia and Kolarov soon". Then enjoy the reaction :)

 

[Newman Noggs]

I predict we'll be 2-0 up before doing the usual thing and letting the opposition come back into it for 20 minutes (I think it's deliberate sitting back to draw them out) and while they're attacking us we'll break away and score 2 more. 4-0.

Great sales today on the upper tier - going to be full!

I think I'm doing something wrong. I log in to the ticket sales thing but it gives me quick tickets or when it comes to choosing it suggests or or two to me. But I can never see the screen that shows all the available seats.

Does it use flash player or something, I'm on an iPad.

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.

Doesn't work on an iPad or iPhone for me, always have to use my laptop to choose seats.

How far away is Kompany from playing ?

 

[capiloton]

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.

Cheers. I'll try that.

How far away is Kompany from playing ?

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

 

[cibaman]

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

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.

 

[BlueRockape]

Can't find which channel it's on ?

 

[i8rags]

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.

 

[chesney]

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
sagna stones otamendi kolorov
sterling kdb gunogan dinho nolito
nacho

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.
