City vs Sheffield Wednesday Pre Match Thread

[Didsbury Dave]

You're having a laugh with your team selection, be nothing like that.

Reserves galore and rightly so.

We've got a full week before the next game though. Might be quite a strong team.

Don't care, with our injury list we need to protect what we've got although any side we put out will still be reasonably strong.

Boyata, Sagna, Kolarov, Sinclair will all start for sure.

I've a feeling that, being out of the other one, he might not take too many risks. I've a feeling we might see some of the number 2s, like Sagna and kolorov, but with hopefully vinny and Kun ready to come back the week after we might see a very strong core with three subs ready to come on if we are comfortable. If we had a big game midweek next week I think it would be different and we might have seen boyata, Sinclair, pozo etc.

He's had his fingers burnt a few times in early round cup games and might not take too many chances.

Reckon Sinclair will get a start

Sorry I forgot about him take him out for silva

We're trying to move him on. Having him cup tied won't help

Hopefully a routine win - 5-0
Caballero
Sagna,Demichelis,Mangala,Clichy
Navas,Fernandinho,Milner,Nasri
Jovetic,Silva


Does anyone know who the ref is?
Twattenburg? Didn't ref today's fixtures

Hart , Yaya, Kolarov back in

I'd be careful about Jovetic. Be good to get some more minutes into him, and build on his confidence, but with all of the other strikers injured can we risk him getting injured?

 

[K-Bo]

Yeah considering the extremely hectic period we've just gone through, could see it being reserve eleven, potentially giving the likes of silva and nasri ( and maybe Mangala, who has played a lot of games in a row) 10 days to recuperate.

I would start Pozo, and get some kids on the bench if things are going well.

Willy
Sagna, boyata, demi, kolarov
MIlner, fernando, Lampard
Yaya, Pozo
Jovetic

The likes of ambrose, angelino maybe barker on the bench hopefully

Allows us to rest Nasri, Silva and Fernandinho who have done a lot of hard running a rest. Still a pretty strong team and hopefully we can get some youth on if it is won early.

Hart won't play. Pellegrini said after the game that he will return for the everton game.

The only reason i didn't put Yaya in is because I thought he wass of to african cup of nations saturday obviously with yaya still here, he would go into my team

I just hope he learnt from the Newcastle disaster (i.e. Silva) - we don't want any of our star playmakers injured and Wednesday will be out to atone for their humiliation earlier in the season so I expect a few crunching tackles in the opening period. Keep the stars on the bench until later in the game.
