City Vs Tottenham Pre match Thread

[mike channon´s windmill]

Without Silva, Kompany and possibly Fernandinho, I predict a tough 2-2 as Tottenham generally play well against us and have been unlucky to lose at the Etihad in recent years. We definitely need to avoid defeat though.

No - we, and Pellegrini in particular , need to win - end of. We could find ourselves languishing in 10 th, 8 or 9 points behind come Sunday if we don´t. Then all shit will break loose

Getting more confident as the weekend draws nearer. We have the best home record for a reason and that's with Kompany and Silva missing a fair few.

Milner in front of Demichelis didn't work wonders at Sunderland.

Only happened in the 2nd half and neither of them had to do much.

and it worked a lot better than Garcia in front of demich, fernandinho in for navas would be the only change i'd make (if he's fit), and i'd go 3 in the middle with yaya breaking forward and milner and dinho as a shield to protect the back 4, navas as an impact sub if needed.

People do realize that Hart is not injured but not playing due to poor form, right?

Made me chuckle (:

Is there any update on the injuries to Fernandinho or Jovetic yet? Presumably Nastasic is fit again after playing for the Serbian under 21s, and Kompany and Silva definitely won't be available?

Don't know but I'd presume fernandinho is fit at this stage if he had a fitness test the morning of the sunderland game and nothing new has happened.
no word on Jovetic, originally the prognosis was 3 weeks and he was injured 3 weeks ago today, but I'd say he's extremely unlikely to be rushed back after a few injuries with all the xmas games coming up and nasri, aguero, negredo and dzeko all fit and available.

Thanks mate. I guess they wouldn't be sending Fernandinho to Abu Dhabi if he was still recovering.
