Dont worry I have given Death a quick ring he will be calling at yours later today and if you are not in he will catch up with you before the match. :-)

No, actually I was referring to the people who had given their starting 11 in here and excluded Aguero.

If he needs a break then give it him next week in the cup against wes brom. We are away in the champions league to the dutch champions. Why would you not play our strongest 11?

Don't think anyone can argue that Aguero wouldn't be in our strongest team.

I have said before that it is silly when people try to name a starting 11. I will not explain why again it's tedious.

Aguero is a great player.take a look at his total appearances each season. Does he play 30, 40, 60 games. He misses a fair number of games, you know that. It is about managing and priorities. We have 7or 8 games in 30 days. He needs to be fit and ready for the biggest games. I am not saying this game is not important, but we can win or draw without him, and Silva.

We have a squad that means the team is not weakened by 4 changes. I believe he will make at least 4 maybe 5 tomorrow.

Its in the bag.... Charlie Nicholas predicts 0-5


Feyenoord v Manchester City (Wednesday, 7.45pm)

We saw how breathtaking they can be at the weekend and they look more assured this season. But we don't know how long Vincent Kompany is out for. Pep Guardiola might look at another defender in January and, with the great draws they've got, I think both Manchester sides are in the mix at the business end of this competition. I think we'll get a real statement from City here. If John Stones can grow into Guardiola's system then they could go all the way with their undoubted attacking talent. I can see them being the highest scoring side in Europe this season. I've played in Rotterdam and it's quite volatile, a bit like Marseille in that sense, but I think Feyenoord will be the ones scared.



Charlie predicts: 0-5 and Aguero to score first (75/1 with Sky Bet)

Not a foregone conclusion.
Pep's away record in the champions league is imo, his biggest weakness.
Combine this with the fact feyernoyd have got off to a perfect start in their league, they will have a lot of confidence and belief.
Would be delighted to get out with a close shave 1-0 win here

Even when you see the starting XI, under Pep you've no fucking idea how they're going to line up. Jorgensen being out for them is hopefully a bonus for us. From what I gather they play a 4-3-3 so either the same for us or 3-5-2 again. I think he might go Sane, Sterling & one of Jesus/Aguero, probably the former seeing as he was withdrawn on Saturday. But we have to find some way of protecting Otamendi if we're playing 3 at the back.

Have a little soft spot for Feyenoord due to the dutch blues who come over to watch City.

Can see it being a tough game..

Also just been hearing flights to Belgium/Holland are being cancelled due to high winds.

 

[Zin 'messiah' Zimmer]

Rotation this season is completely different to last season.

For me I would change to a back 4 and replace Danilo, Silva and Aguero for Sterling, Sane and Bernardo.

If Ederson is fit to play id start him.

-----------------Ederson---------------
Walker--Stones--Otamendi--Mendy
-------------Fernandinho--------------
-------Bernardo----De Bruyne--------
Sterling--------Jesus-------------Sane

Bench - Bravo, Mangala, Danilo, Yaya, Gundogan, Silva, Aguero

Just the 190m on the bench.... frightening our strength in depth now

No experiments. No youth.
Not even Yaya.
