Man City V Wigan pre match thread.

Better hope we have a strong bench, going to need it in the second half

TEAM NEWS: Pantilimon, Richards, Demichelis, Lescott, Clichy, Navas, Toure (C), Garcia, Nasri, Negredo, Aguero

-- Sun Mar 09, 2014 10:10 am --

Hopefully Richards and Demi are able to keep out Wigan but that combination scares me slightly.

I'm usually one of the most positive posters on Bluemoon but that back four does more than scare me slightly.

Still, hopefully they aren't called upon often with the attacking players running Wigan into the ground.

Refreshing team if you ask me, good chance for Richards to get involved in a game because why else is he here if he can't play against Wigan. Demi and Lescott might be a bit dodgy but still we should be able to cope, Lescott was our first choice CB for a year and Demi isn't as bad as many claim.

Surprised to not see Milner.

I admit it makes me nervous too especially as that four doesn't have a lot of game time together. Hopefully it works out okay.

Worrying backline, but at least they have Garcia to shield so hopefully it won't be like Watford. Plenty of goals in the team so hopefully we can dominate the ball and not need to defend much

That backline is there to be punished, far too much put on Barca which is the one we should be dropping.

We are playing a Championship side at home.

Uwe would give his right arm for that back 4 so stop being so melodramatic.

Strong side which should be more than good enough to get the win.
