Injuries.

Pot calling the kettle black. If you want to support a big club you better start accepting that the majority of your first team are going to to play for their national teams AND that the club supports that.

And what the fuck are you on about Tevez. No club in the world would have stood up to him like we did.

Who put 20p in you?

Yeah it's fine them playing for their national teams but not when they are injured.

And i'm pretty sure there's other clubs that would have fucked him off in at least January, rather than let him come back for another season and a half.

I doubt it. The rules were just stacked too much in the player's favour, with the possibility of him walking away on a free and then picking up a huge signing on fee elsewhere.
 
Not good at all... that was a bigger concern than any other position really as we at least had cover. Question is whether we'll play Zabaleta and Sagna at full back or move Mangala into left back and play Kompany and Otamendi centrally (yet another centre back pairing). Could then switch Mangala into centre around the hour mark if the games comfortable and put Zabba/Sagna on for Kompany so he doesn't overdo it following his injury. It's a shame for Bony more than anything because Kolarov is up there with De Bruyne as our best crosser and Bony would thrive on his deliveries from wide positions.

I think Mangala still needs to be treated with kid gloves as far as his confidence is concerned. If Zaba or Sagna have a poor game at left back they'll probably shrug it off whereas it might have more of an effect on Mangala.
 
That is a stupid assumption. Why do you think our owners would pay for the absolute best in litterally everything except medical care. Injuries happen and certain players are more injury prone than others.

It's not an assumption and you can't say its stupid because you don't agree with it, look at our injury record, are you telling me we have 15 injury prone players? Bony went 2 season's at Swansea rarely picking up injuries, comes to us and picks up nothing but hamstring injuries for 1 and a half years...... Look back at Mancini's era and he publicly came out and questioned/criticized the medical team as to why so many players were constantly getting injured.
 
PELLEGRINI: "Kolarov has a hamstring injury, @21LVA has a kick, @aguerosergiokun has a muscle injury. Clichy & Delph are still out too."
PELLEGRINI: “@aguerosergiokun has a muscle injury – it’s an important injury so I don’t think he will be back before one month." #cityvafcb
PELLEGRINI: "We’ll see how they [Aleks and David] improve in the next week – I hope both of them can be back in 15 days." #cityvafcb
PELLEGRINI: "@yayatoure & @SamNasri19 are both recovered. For Delph, maybe one week more and he will be working with the squad.” #cityvafcb

kolarov out for at least 15 days is the worst news if you ask me because the other lb clichy is out too....so no kolarov for either sevilla or rags damn it
 
Left side problems on the horizon! We need Zaba to have a solid game at LB but he will be less effective going forward from LB. Having two right footers on the left is also a problem as it could look quit enarrow in attack. We could do with an out an out Left Winger to give the side some natural balace.

I wouldn't play Mangala at LB, I dont think it would play to his strengths.
