Man City V Wigan pre match thread.

[hihosilva]

Lovely article on Uwe Rosler. sorry if already posted.

<a class="postlink" href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/wigan-athletic/10683443/Manchester-City-v-Wigan-Former-striker-Uwe-Rosler-rekindles-his-love-affair-with-sky-blues.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/footba ... blues.html</a>

Uwe has done very well in management since returning to the UK. I reckon he will be managing a top team in the next few years.
Possible future manager of the blues maybe!

Daily Mirror claiming Negredo and Aguero both starting on Sunday in order to get their partnership back together before the Barcelona match. Can see the logic in that if true but would worry over Aguero's ability to start 4 consecutive games straight after coming back from injury.

Team I would play would be this:

Pantilimon
Richards Demi Lescott Clichy
Garcia Rodwell
Navas Silva Lopes
Negredo

 

[Bluep*ss]

Everyone Fit other than Nasty and Jovetic.

Both are back for Barca

Is it definite that Edin 'over the bar' Dzeko is out injured?

 

[kunaguero10]

Hart
Micah
Kompany
Lescott
Clichy
Garcia
Yaya
Milner
Navas
Agüero
Negredo

Yaya off at ht for Fern

I have a feelng Aguero will start. He played for Argentina and us for 57 mins in the lat week and I think he will get the same tomorrow.
Pellegrini will want this putting to bed early.

We definitely need aguero and negredo to start tomorrow, firstly to get kun back to match fitness, negredo to find some form and get their partnership back to what it was earlier in the season.

 

[allyboy]

tough game this one, it will be their final - like most who come to us now..

I would be putting out a strong team and trying to kill the game off, then resting players after 60 mins or so.

If all is going well, on 55/60 mins, rig in the changes

Lescott - Komps
Garcia - Yaya
Bosnian Tree - Aguero
Milner - Silva

 

[TCIB]

3-1 but either way welcome back Uwe, your one of the few tangible things that kept me just about sane when all my mates were of to europe midweek.

Uwe = Legend

 

[Mike N]

Looking forward to seeing Kun fit again. World-class player who can power us to a fantastic domestic treble.

Any idea if it is close to selling out tomorrow? Good to see Wigan bringing a decent following for a change.

Tickets available in over 60 blocks mostly very few as in 202 has1seat left, estimate no more than 500.

Would imagine they will sell, a few Sat night sherbets will see the last few sell from fans still undecided. Really looking forward to this one, just a really good feel factor around once again.

 

[Citizen_Ando]

I just hope we've got the legs for it tomorrow after Wembley.

 

[gwt]

Pants
Richards Kompany Lescott Clichy
Toure Garcia
Milner Lopes Nasri/Silva
Aguero

Enough quality to see them off and we rarely lose with Kompany, Toure, Aguero and Nasri/Silva on.

 

[CITY FOR LIFE]

Welcoming Uwe and then off to Spain

There is no doubt Uwe is going to receive the biggest ever welcome back than any ex City player has in the past and so he should, he has proved over and over that he is blue through and through.

Tomorrow we should show our respect to Uwe followed by the appreciation to our manager for what is already a successful season, Lamborghini song would be brilliant straight after our welcome to Uwe, a great occasion awaits us once again which seems to be the norm these days.

 

[City Raider]

well they're better than watford so we need to be at it

The football feels like a side event for me, I'm looking forward to seeing Uwe too much.
Would like Uwe to do laps of honour for 90 minutes and just have a penalty shoot out at the end to decide it

Much though I like and admire Uve, I'd be more than happy to see Wigan suffer their worst ever defeat tomorrow. It's not personal, it's football.

Doesn't matter who wins tomorrow's FA Cup games before us ... as long as the winner of Hull/Sunderland draws Arsenal and the winner of Sheffield/Charlton draws us ... and of course that we take care of Wigan ...

Would be funny as fuck if Arsenal lose their semi and we face Sunderland (again) or Hull in the final ... this looks like the most winnable of the three cups left right now, with Chelsea 9 ahead (albeit our three games in hand, but still they have the points already on the board) and their run-in is a lot easier than us ...

I actually think that right now us winning Premier League is as difficult as Champions League (after turning Barca over) ...

As good as our season looks right now, if it ends with just a League Cup ... and say Chelsea take the Premier League and Arsenal lift the FA Cup ... (and CL of course goes elsewhere to say Munich or Madrid) ... we will look a little idiotic, promised so much this season but delivered the smallest of the domestic pots ... and that won't even get us to kick-off the next season at Wembley ... that curtain-raiser will be Chelsea v Arsenal ... I know that's just the Community Shield but still it'll feel very weird those two competing for that and us with just the CapitalOne Cup ...

And yes as much as people had voiced in other threads that our season is already a success with the beautiful football we are playing or just the league cup alone will be successful, I think not ...

Come to think of it, Liverpool is already ahead of us in goals scored (in the league) and that amazing goal difference is now only 4 better than Liverpool's and 8 better than Chelsea's ... so no signs of all those goal records that were being talked about either ...

C'mon City ... let's thrash Wigan tomorrow, book another Wembley trip, and then go take care of those bitches in Spain ...
