City Vs Leicester Pre Match Thread

[Damien10]

Why are people moaning about the bench? We're playing the bottom side in the elague, who are there for a reason. If out starting 11 cannot sort them out, the bench is the least of our concerns.

That's the mentality that comes back to haunt people.

Anyone running a sweep on what minute Leicester score the customary soft goal we concede? I'll go for the 23rd minute.

27 mins and/or 90th

14th minute, there first incursion into our half.

I'll go with this as well, after we have absolutely dominated them. We'll look like shite until halftime, but then we'll up our game and will win it 2-1.

Senor Pellegrini has clearly lost his marbles.

Why is that then?

I'd guess as the only reasons he could possibly have picked Fernando in a midfield 2 is because he's forgotten how gash he is in that formation or complacency that it won't matter against Leicester.

He finally grew the balls to drop under performers no matter their name. Good on him.

I wasn't feeling too confident about tonight, but after seeing the team. I am now.

Why's Fernando playing then?

Because Fernandinho is probably a bit tired. He seems to be dropped whenever we have 2 games quickly. Also we have no other midfielders who can play 90 except Fernando.

This is a joke. Fernandinho is one of the fittest players in the squad. It's just Manual keeping everyone happy.

Happy with that line-up.

Bit of a shame for Dzeko but we needed to shake things up a touch.

Nice to see Navas back.

Because Pellegrini did not select him. Thats all they look for as proof.

Bit strange when you consider Chelsea and Liverpool haven't changed much from their Sunday team's.

However, I am happy with our line-up.
