Halle fucking luia. We have width and pace.

If we win all our games in prem 5-3 I won't be complaining, (used to say 1 -0 but that would be boring). :-)

Based on what we have seen so far and having Sergio available ..... Newcastle team based on who we have. If we sign Pepe switch him for Lescott

I'm still gonna moan though, cos of the total reliance on Navas down that right flank. We need some pace and width down the left too, cos Prem defences will take about 5 mins to realise that doubling up on Navas will blunt us. Also, need some pacy cover at centre half too. Three simple through balls twixt Lescott, Garcia and Kolarov, cost us 3 goals in 5 minutes.

Big plusses have been Dzeko (looks reborn under Pellers), St Micah's link up play with Sat Nav, and Negredo, who looks a proper 'Goat' style, run the channels, centre forward.

We should do well, but I think we need proper pacy cover for Kompers, and ditto for Navas, still yet

Quality Attacking play but the High line will have me changing my Underpants a few times.

It'll be fine with a first choice back 4 :)

Line up looks pretty good except for Lescott who looked too slow against AC Milan. Right now we don't know when we'll get Nastasic back so for the added pace at the back I'd put Micah Richards in for Joleon. Micah looked really great and very solid playing RB against AC Milan. Of course, we have Zabo, so I'd move Micah inside with Cousin Vinny until Nastasic recovers.

City certainly has an embarrassment of riches and Pellegrini's main problem will be to get the right combinations of players while at the same time providing plenty of playing time for each player.
