Bony or Kun doesn't matter. Key is to have Raheem, KDB, Silva behind the forward. Those three will be an absolute nightmare to deal with and whoever the forward is will get plenty of chances.

If Aguero is unavailable, who should start against Juventus?

Anybody else notice how Bony is tending to defer to Yaya too much? I think he's a bit in awe of him, and it's part of the problem. On Saturday, he laid the ball off to Yaya (who ballooned it way over the bar) when he should have just gone for it himself. It worked beautifully against West Brom, but that doesn't mean that if Yaya's in the vicinity he has to do it for him all the time. This man just needs to get two or three goals in a match (which, by the way, he's proven he can do). Then his game will just take off.
I don't agree that he's doing it too much. Yaya didn't have his shooting boots on Saturday but that's rear. Bony did the right thing. It's much easier for Yaya to run onto a ball than for Bony to turn into a pile of defenders.Anybody else notice how Bony is tending to defer to Yaya too much?

Bony IMO is doing a lot better than I'd hoped. He'll score a lot less for us than for Swansea but he'll be just as important when he plays.
that lineup might happen this season and it'd be interesting to see....but saying Bony is at the wrong team is absolutely wrong IMO. He is tailor made as the hold up striker. Exactly what we need. He'll bring the best out of our midfielders IMO.Hart
Sagna Kompany Mangala Kolarov
Fernandinho Toure
Navas Silva De Bruyne
Sterling
Nothing against Bony, I like him, but just think he's a good player in the wrong team; not suited to how we play at all and doesn't seem to be showing signs of improvement.

According to Martin Blackburn (via BBC Gossip) Aguero definitely out for tomorrow and probably Merlin & Sterling as well.

Wouldn't surprise me with Aguero, he was limping as he left Selhurst Park, it'd need to be a quick turn around to go from unable to walk properly on Saturday evening, to being able to run around like a professional sportsman 3 days later. Sterling too wouldn't be a surprise, given his style of play, and the fact he felt his hamstring, that's something we don't want to make worse if we can help it. 3 days isn't a lot of time to recover from a potential hamstring injury. Silva would be a surprise as I was under the impression his was more precautionary and he was rested as Juventus was deemed more important in the grand scheme of things. If we're missing all 3 then that will be a huge blow to our chances on Tuesday.

I think he was limping simply because he had an ice pack strapping around his knee joint so unable to bend his knee properly. I'll stay hopeful but agree wouldn't want him to start if there's a chance it will agrivate the injury and put him out for weeks but that's why the club pay big money for medical teams to take those decisions

OS says Silva and Sterling both trained today,although Nasri,Fernandinho and Aguero all were absent.
Wtf!
Not sure if all these players are fit but knowing that Aguero is defo out this is the team I'd go with:
Hart
Sagna Kompany Mangala Kolarov
Dinho Fernando
De Brunye Silva Sterling
Bony
If one of Sterling or Silva isn't fit then I'd put Yaya in their place in a more advanced role. Silva can shift to the left in needed.
