City vs Wigan Pre Match Discussion Thread

[balkanno]

I have watched both bosnian Games, Dzeko didn t worked that much. He was good in both Matches but he didnt fight into the game. I dont see why should Mancini rest him, he is already in form nd was playing "english weeks" in Germany so he is used to it. I rather rest Aguero who had to fly over the World.

Any one know if the game is on the radio at all. Not on talk sport, radio 5 live or absolute radio. I will be working this sat and need to hear the match at least.

This resting nonsense is bollocks, except for the argument about travelling a long way. they played wednesday mostly, we play on saturday, so unless they lugged bricks around a site for the rest of the week they wont be tired.. Forget that, the tiredness issue wont kick in for weeks, when the players get jaded from many, many pressure-filled games. Players need games at this time of the season - squad rotation is a different issue. Play the current first choice team and then once we have a decent lead give Tev/Ballo etc a run out.
City 3 nil

Even Merson is turning-

Man City v Wigan
PAUL PREDICTS: 4-0
Man City have definitely been the most impressive team so far. Man Utd were good against Arsenal, but still conceded two goals and a penalty, whereas City are irresistible. Wigan have done well against the three promoted teams, but this is at least 20 steps too far for them!

Not sure about Tevez playing behind Dzeko, would much prefer Serg Aguero
to play. I have a feeling Balo will be playing after watching the Mancini vid.

Can't see Aguero starting after his tour of Far East
