City Vs Bournemouth Pre Match Thread

[Phil1]

A tough game, I think, factoring in the last week.

One player not being mentioned is Delph, he has been training well last week or so and could really be a factor over the next week.

Great news to hear Delph is close to returning. Genuinely looking forward to seeing what he can do for us.

Is Bony fit to play?

And should he play as if he gets injured we will have no strikers fit for Seville as Kelechi isn't in the euro squad....

Possibly first start for kelechi at home to bournemouth?

and if AK isn't fit it will have to be sanga on the left and zabba on the right

I love my club but do not give a monkey's for Belgium in a meaningless game. Nor do I give a monkeys for Spain or Argentina who deprived us Silva and Kun for must-win matches against the rags and Seville.

I am sure that Pellegrini knows a little more of what is best for City than Wilmots.

It's not Spain or argentinas fault that silva and aguero got injured. If both weren't fully fit they should've said so...how's the manager meant to know if they're fully fit or not

According to the FA site it is Fernando and Mangala who are one booking away from a ban, surely it should say Fernandinho. And I think we are the only club with more than one player a booking away from a ban

I could see Demi starting at the back because he didn't play a part in the international break. It wouldn't surprise me to see Mangala at Left Back as well - but I'm hoping he tries Sagna there.

Toure is a doubt, if he's not fit I think he might go for a flat 4 in midfield with 2 up front, one will obviously be Bony, I imagine the other will be Sterling, but would hope it's Kelechi so we have better balance on each wing. If Nasri is fit he will play.
