If the focus is right City will win this one!

If he is carrying a knock fair enough - but Pellers record of switching the defence is there for all to see. Hope Otamendi has a cracking game but if Mangala has been dropped that is a huge gamble by the manager!

I fear United could exploit the defensive frailties of Kompany and Kolarov.

Just seen the team, very happy with it. Cmon city !!!

MP setting us up with multiple plan B's. And to safeguard against wank officiating. It one of our CB's gets a yellow, we bring on Mangala. Nacho and Jesus for the last 20, should we need it.



Come on City!!!!

Exactly!

 

[J_Bow]

That defence is wank; Valencia, Jones and Rojo at left back.

 

[M3 Blue]

Did their fans pay for another banner plane?

 

[Blueband Brother]

I wonder if we'll line up like most think ?

maybe...

Back 4
Fernando Fernandhino
Yaya Kdb
Sterling
Bony

Interesting. Sterling has looked dangerous when he plays in the middle but It think the team will be too narrow as Yaya is not as energetic to drift out wide and go up and down on the right/left hand side. He can play outwide but not the best situation for him. I see Yaya playing as the second striker with Sterling and De Bruyne at either side. But it is a versatile team with a lot of possibilities.

Why couldn't we have been the early kick off, it would be nearly over by now.

Would have prefered the Mangala/Kompany partnership.

Couldn't agree more. Sterling needs to run his fucking socks off today, and need oxygen at 90 mins - he needs a good game that lad, just to get his confidence back.

Both Ferns need to be huge, as the Rag midfield looks good.

Vinny needs to return to his imperious best.

KdB to prove he's the only player on the pitch worth £50m+.

Bony to bully their defence.

But above all else, 100% commitment from all, leave fuck all on the pitch except broken, tearful Rags.



Still shitting it though.......

So you don't think scoring a hat-trick in his last league game will have given him any confidence?
