Man City V Wigan pre match thread.

Panty

Richards MDM Lescott Clichy

Navas Garcia Rodwell Milner

Negredo Dzeko/Aguero

Bench: Hart, Silva, Ferna, Zabba, Vinny, Nasri, Dzeko/Aguero.

No Hart, Kompany, Zabaleta, Yaya, Fernandinho, Silva, Nasri (and maybe Kun). That's too many players dropped/rested.

Do you realise it's a Quarter Final?

 

[Бравый Дератизатор]

Seems to me it's going to be a very entertaining game.
Come on City!
I'd pick this squad
Pantilimon
Micah, Boyata, Lescott, Clichy
Garcia, Rodwell
Milner, Navas,Aguero, Negredo

 

[allblackcitizen]

I'm sure we'll have a good sing song for Uwe, I really hope Lescott starts ahead of MDM. The COCup Final was another pretty mediocre display

Lescott needs a quick pick me up. Should have played yesterday given that he'd played every game previously. Looks proper depressed and out of it in the dressing room footage aafterwards.

Re: Welcome for Uwe

I would be utterly amazed, staggered in the extreme, if there is not a big chant or two for Uwe before the kick off - there certainly will be from me, City loves Uwe, and anyone who has read his book knows that Uwe loves City. Respect will be paid, in both directions

Yes.

 

[bluevengence]

Need a strong team for this,Wigan are flying at the moment they beat forest away 4-1 weekend to put them
in a play off position.....don`t take this as a given.

 

[vintiz]

Yaya and fern to get 45 mins each. Kun should start this one with beast.

And its been long since I saw milner, dare I say Rodwell and Richards !!!

Yes the 1st half against Watford wasn't it

Tbh I wasn't even saying that with any negative intent.
And the watford game wasn't & hasn't been shown in nigeria.

 

[jmcqos]

Give Aguero a start again,he must gain some match- fitness before the Barca game.
Rest the...rest and give players like Milner some more minutes.We must be fully fit and 100% ready for Barca.

 

[Blue Is the Opposite of Blue]

Pantilimon
Richards - Kompany - Lescott - Clichy
Yaya Toure - Javi Garcia
Navas - Jovetic - Milner
Aguero

No Hart, Kompany, Zabaleta, Yaya, Fernandinho, Silva, Nasri (and maybe Kun). That's too many players dropped/rested.

Were at home aren´t we?
The majority of our second fiddle players are internationals, I expect them to beat Wigan at home but you have a point, diden´t go to well against Watford did it until Pellegrini made some changes.

Without sounding cocky I see this a perfect time to rest some of our key players and give the likes of Richards, Milner, Rodwell some minutes. If it doesen´t go to well we always have the firepower on the bench.

Spot on mate, can't play our full strength team vs Wigan, especially with barca in mid week. If our second team who are all internationals can't beat Wigan then some will defintley be going in the summer. Can't keep relying on our key players to pull us out of the shit.

 

[mcfc_ms]

With Barca in mind, I would start with a strong team then replace them in the second half if we are doing ok.

Pantilimon
Richards kompany Demichelis Clichy
Navas. Garcia. Fernandino. Milner
Aguero. Negredo

Would try and get Jovetic and Nastasic in there if fit. Then it gives us chance to take off players like aguero, kompany etc if we are looking comfortable.

 

[gmckennasell]

strongest team , its a cup quarter final , and as much as i would like to think we can give barca a game , i want another trip to wembley , and with Uwe in charge wigan will not be a pushover , looking forward to this , hope they parade the league cup before the game ,

Maybe risk Richards but not Rodwell. His last game was Shambolic and I doubt he will play for us again this season

I agree but 8 is too many. 3/4 yes, but 8? no.
Maybe Hart, Zabaleta, Yaya and Silva or Aguero, or something similar.

 

[Mancini Manus Domini]

Hull away at Saturday lunchtime comes quickly after Barcelona away on a Wednesday night. We can't be playing all our best players 3 times in 6 days. We have to rest them against Wigan.

Those mentioning Watford at home forget we beat Bayern Munich away with essentially a second string team.

 

[Benarbia]

Kind of wish this was a few weeks away wanna play catch up in the league

Out of all the games we've got coming up it's that Hull away one i'm worried about more than any of the others

I agree, and you could argue it's the most important one of the three.
