Better balance to the team but would much prefer fernandinho in there to Lampard.

Would have swapped Lampard for Fernandinho today but apart from that happy with a midfield trio again. Come on City!

Don't know why he doesn't rate dhino but good enough to do the job if yaya plays well

No 442 in 3 games...

Astonished he's now turned to consistency, is that the first time this season the lineup is unchanged? Has Fernandinho told Pellegrini some home truths or something? he's been our best player recently and bizarrely gets dropped. That team is good enough to get the job done, if they put the effort in.

Hmmmm not sure about lampard again, dinho would have been a better choice imo. Thought nasri was injured and milner was fit?

I'm thinking the same. Surely not a typo from the official twitter feed?

But if that would be the case, I guess that the journalists being there would have already found out about that.

Needed Dinho in there for his mobility. Yaya, Lampard and Nando are the least mobile midfield ever

Pell's treatment of Dinho this season has been idiotic

Same team happy with that.

Lampard is a bigger goal threat, and for 60 minutes he is quite good. Yes Dihno is superior, and I'd have played him over Nando, but That's coz I don't like specialist DMs.
