If its Beck then we're already a goal down at kick off.

Just checked it's Simon Long. At Cardiff we had both Simon Long and Simon Beck, Beck is the worst, he was the one that disallowed our goal and failed to help the ref award a red for the challenge on Sane. He also allowed the Spurs goal that was 2m offside in front of him.
Plus he gave a controversial penalty last weekend also.

Looks like Mardharse could be playing for Leicester after all. Turned up for training today and wants to play against us.

Thanks for the correction,glad i got the wrong one!

 

[Easy]

I agree great debut, but Vardy is one of the hardest PL forwards to play against, lightning fast and loves to initiate contact and take a dive, it will be a difficult call. I wonder who are our fastest CBs?

Good point. Laporte did say he is still learning what is and isn’t a foul here so maybe it would be good to leave him out.

Probably Stones and Laporte are the fastest. Worried about Stones starting because he has been injured and prior to that was making one mistake per game so it’s tricky to call. Maybe he’ll go with experience and start Otamendi & Kompany together.

Laporte and ota for me.

Gutted silva not yet fit. (Sorry I am assuming it is injury why he out?)

 

[pavelsrnicek]

I'm heading along tomorrow and really looking forward to it though very disappointed that Silva is missing.

I'm a little concerned about the loss of control without Silva as when he plays when generally have total control of the ball and tempo of the match.

It may also be typical city pessimism but I am worried that we'll face Kelechi tomorrow who still hasn't scored a league goal for Leicester.

Would be a big surprise if Mahrez payed imo. He hasn't trained all week and is out of favour with his team mates. Slight chance he might be on the bench though.

More concerned about Silva anyway. Couldn't see him anywhere on the training video yesterday, so not optimistic about him playing tomorrow. Hopefully Guardiola will give a positive update at his press conference later.

Pep did a 'No' head shake when asked :(

 

[johnnytapia]

Hmmm, think this will be a very tricky game. They’ve been a very tough nut to crack last couple of seasons, including two pretty big wins to them. Will be anything but straightforward. Silva’s a big, big loss. I’d take any kind of win.

Nice little digs from Pep at Warnock and Gary Neville

I think he misunderstood the Warnork questions. Or played it like he did a bit. But the Neville one was nice. :)

Folks should listen to Joey Barton's take on the bench. Only sensible one out there :D
