[kunaguero10]

City subs: Pantilimon, Boyata, Garcia, Rodwell, Milner, Navas, Guidetti

Still not a bad bench considering our mounting injuries

 

[smudgedj]

Any pubs tameside way showing the game today lads?

March Hare on Crowhill

 

[kanovic]

Don't like dzeko and negredo together both offer the same thing pretty much. No Jovetic again seriously!!!!

 

[WickyWain]

Where's Lescott?

 

[Ray78]

A strong line up and it is time for Hart to make the step up again.

 

[andrewmswift]

nasri and silva to dominate and create a bagful of chances for both bigs, edin and negredo both with braces yaya adds a 5th, 1-5 city

Without wanting to come across as sounding too arrogant, this today, even with our mounting injury list could be the day we finally replicate our home form away.

"Demolition style" - if any team is susceptible to letting in a bucket load its Fulham. They have the worst defensive record in the league.

 

[SebastianBlue]

Not the strongest bench but hopefully we play well enough to allow the Biblical Three (James, John, and Jesus) to get some match time.

Clichy at rightback worries me more than Dzeko and Negredo upfront together. I know he is actually right footed (I think I read somewhere his father forced him to train only with his left foot to become a proper leftback) but he is still out of position.

Doesnt want to risk silva getting booked smart move any money he gets booked

 

[Revolver]

Little bit concerned that Fulham especially without Berbatov are going to be up for a battle. With only Ya Ya sometimes going missing away from home and Fulham having Parker and Sidwell "getting stuck in " I hope we don't get overrun.

Would have preferred to see Navas up front with either Dzeko or Negredo

 

[mancity1]

Where's Lescott?

Ditto?

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Can't see edin and the beast forming a good partnership. You never see teams start with 2 big forwards these days. Hopefully with silva and Nasri behind them will make up for it. Think pellegrini is being very defiant here.

 

[WickyWain]

Where's Lescott?

Ditto?

If he's not injured then it's a strange decision to have Boyata and Garcia as defensive backup instead of him.

 

[@BluePhil8]

I'd love for Guidetti to get time today.

Presuming he's picked something up in the last 24 hours. Pellers didnt mention him i didnt think yesterday in the list of those out.

 

[cleavers]

Maybe he's got what Jovetic had midweek ?

I agree , preytell one of our centre backs gets injured but I assume he didn't come up for some reason.

Wasn't mentioned in yesterdays brief as unavailable.

Seems every week one of the players we expect to at least be on the bench doesn't make it.

Lescott's premiership experience will be needed before seasons end I am certain of it.

If he gets booked does he miss the liverpool game?
