Aguero to get the last 30 minutes

Why play Silva in the middle when his best position is on the wing?
Why play Nasri on the wing when his best position is in the middle?

Switch the two of them and the team seems okay, but I still have my doubt about including Nasri at all.

Silva can play on the wing and does well but his best position most certainly is through the middle. Just like Cazrola at Arsenal and Mata at Chelsea. They all have their best games through the middle. Iniesta at Barca is the same.

Nasri has had a poor season, and he's been played solely on the wing.
It's time to change that.
Silva is definitely better on the wing where he has more space to do as he pleases, even though he does often work into the middle.

Game is a sell out but there must be over 2,000 tickets available on viagogo.

Are these season ticket holders trying to make a fast buck or what?

Just had a look. Cheapest I saw was £29.50 which were u16 tickets in the Family Stand, Block 235. But when I selected these for more details, they are more expensive than that as they then add on fees handling and VAT

never rated this partnership in CDM.

yaya's too laboured going back and barry's slow so needs someone who will offer more like milner or rodwell.

i'd go for milner and garcia tbh.

Anybody got any messages for the ref on Saturday? He is in our office as I write this.

Jimmy M every time.

 

[super_city_si]

Do you think Mancini will play Kompany? He played some for Belgium the other night so maybe Mancini will rest him for this one?
Sounds like Aguero is fit :)

Problem is bobby doesnt rate him as a CM, Garcia for me is just awful.

We love him.

Tiote out now too! Newcastle's injury list could be: Krul, Coloccini, Santon, Debuchy, Haidara, Tiote, Ben Arfa, Ryan Taylor. We've beaten them at full strength recently, they won't be at full strength this time.

half of them will be playing for sure,the old so and so is out is a ridiculous tactic these days but some managers still do it

Half of them are serious injuries (Ben Arfa is out for the season) and some were picked up lately like when one of them nearly got his knee kicked off against Wigan. The only one who has even a 1% chance is Debuchy apparently.

ok, forgot the kid who was hurt at wigan,that was a tackle and a half.The wigan lad is going to get stick wherever he goes,it would have been better for him to get a ban and be out of the limelight for 3 games.Glad to hear the inj isnt as bad as expected.Anyway i digress,it should be a comfortable win
