City Vs Arsenal Pre match Discussion Thread

Re: Arsenal game

They can't really afford to play a weakened team, but they do have quite a bit of scope to rotate players and still put out a strong side. They have a lo more experience in Europe than we do.

Take their midfield: Rosicky, Arteta WIlshere, Ozil, The Ox, Ramsey. Cazorla, Flamini and Frimpong

There might be a couple of injuries there, but who are the reserves? In contrast City would struggle with the "B" players eg at Newcastle in the League Cup. It's up front where we have 4 or 5 top class forwards, but elsewhere the City A team players are strong, but the B players are not so good.

its a good job we have a meaningless freindly tomo, city 4 arsenal 0

Much as I think most fans would like City to take it easy, the profile of this game means that we wont

The players have a lot of pride too. This is what they are in the game for, to play at places like Bayern Munich in the Champions League. When it comes to Kick Off they'll be well up for it and so will you. I can see Pellegrini resting a few players, but not that many. It's possible he may play quite a tactical defensive game, rather than go head to head with them, and try and nick it and at the same time conserve some energy for Saturday.

tbh were not quite there yet taking bayern on in there own cabage patch, play for the draw if we lose by one or two so be it, not expecting anything tomo just damage limitation,if i were mp i'd rest aguero if silva is fit give him a run and dzeko striker

Yep. Defend do a Mourinho on them, and hit them on the counter attack. That way we don't get thrashed and we don't use up loads of energy closing them down all over the pitch.

Re: Arsenal game

Of course, one ray of hope will be if that catastrophe waiting to happen, Clichy plays at left back. He's bound to screw up at least once like he used to when with us. Thank God we now have Gibbo and Monreal.

He's not been fit this season, but has been a great buy for us. He was the key player in the run in to the title inspiring the rest of the team.

You don't know how wrong you are

What would you think of Nasri if he scored a hattrick and celebrated in front of the away fans?

Thats a good hypothetical. Hear the one about the two Arsenal players that left for City and won trophies... Wait wait. Thats not hypothetical.
