Impressed pellers has the balls to drop kompany! Good move IMO.

Where is nasri?

Good to see the forehead dropped

Personally, I can see why he has been dropped but what is it with the childish insult of our captain?



I would have preferred Clichy to the left of Mangala.

Glad he's dropped them, it had to be done

 

[razman]

No nasri as well

 

[whp.blue]

so who is on the bench?

hmmmm

not sure about dropping company at all

while he has not been at his best neither has any of the defence which is mostly due to the poor set up in front of them

while i don't mind going 4-4-2 in this game, by dropping Kompany, pellegrini is ignoring the larger problem and blaming individuals....this could cause moral problems

Kompany is a big enough man to take it BUT if i was him I would feel rightfully aggrieved at being dropped (if that is the case)....you don't go from being possibly th best centre half in world football to a poor player in a season or two..........the tactics and set up employed by the manager have left all the back 4 exposed

hopefully it won't matter too much tonight

Nice to see a struggling defensive midfielder playing at home to a struggling relegation side...

O, based on fucking what?

The fact that Dzeko is in good run of form, while Bony so far has only justified concerns he would succumb to the pressure of coming to a big club...and take some extended time to adapt.

Fortunately Pellers will not take a gamble like that...Kun + Edin until win is secured, then Bony to get a run in and try to catch some rhythm.

Whoops.

Where is nasri?

I am guessing we want more pace and crossing upfront with Bony there as well. Nasri would have been a good sub however but I guess its Milner, Lampard and Dzeko if we are down/drawing.

Pleased Bony gets a start. Lets see what you can do.
