City Vs Norwich Pre Match Thread

[pudge]

More reliable than Stuart Brennan, you don't get over any sort of hammy that quick

Except for the last time he had one you mean?

This way, the 3 in midfield shouldn't have to bust a gut so can keep plenty in the tank, whilst we keep Merlin, Sterling and Wilf in reserve.

 

[PragueBlue]

Except Sterling is to come back in to the team.

I'd leave him on the bench for this one.

[bluemoon98]

[kaz7]

If you have to leave Yaya on the bench woulb it be this game or the next one ???

Unusual I know. But that's how I'd play it. Bring in Debruyne Silva, Demi for Yaya Dihno and Bony.

Pull Yaya and Dino for Demi and Debruyne. If Silva is fit enough, pull Bony with 10-15 minutes and insert Silva or Sterling.

But keep all the key guys fresh for midweek.

 

[PrestwichPeteMcfc]

Is Sterling fit?

 

[BlueByBlood]

I would rather bench Yaya on this one and play him on Seville away. Midfield for that game should be like this:

----------------Nando----------------Dinho-----------------
------Navas----------------Yaya----------------KDB----------

Silva should be on Bench until he is 100% fit.

 

[Dax777]

No more than 50 minutes for any key player. Yaya, Silva, Debruyne, Sterling and Dino.

 

[worsleyweb]

No more than 50 minutes for any key player. Yaya, Silva, Debruyne, Sterling and Dino.

Assuming we are winning.

 

[Yates]

Interesting, general consensus for the Cup game was to play the strongest side and now it's to give as much rest as possible to the top players.

Hart
Sagna, Kompany, Otamendi, Kolarov
Navas, Dinho, Nando, KDB
Iheanacho
Bony.

I think Yaya should get rested for this one, same for Sterling ( or Sterling on for KDB at some point ) and Silva if he's back, have them come back in for Sevilla.

 

[leighton]

I think with Iheanacho and Bony up front from the start and 2 wide men in team we will cause Norwich a lot of problems. Just think Nacho will be brimming with confidence after the midweek game. I would think if he gets a good chance he will score a goal against Norwich.

 

[Jack Wills]

Norwich will put everyone behind the ball and hope to get the odd chance on the break or from set pieces. It could be quite dour and frustrating unless we get an early goal and they have to chase an equaliser. Then I fancy a huge score. I'll stick my neck out and say 8-0. KDB with half of them.

That's not how they have been playing recently
