Manchester City V Blackburn Pre-match thread.

[K-Bo]

No Yaya, no Silva, No Nasri for this one, so our midfield is going to be poor, should have too much for them at home tho despite this.

Hope he starts Lopes so we have a semblance of creativity in our midfield.

Pants
Richards
Lescott
Nastasic/Demichelis
Clichy
Garcia
Fernandinho
Milner
Navas
Lopes/Dzeko
Negredo

Negredo is probably going to have to start another game, so many for him.

No silva or nasri = no creative spark
This is going to be harder than i thought

Yes, too many. I also worry for Ferna.

Plus I think they'll kick lumps out of our lads.

 

[asplund2]

anything about Jovetic on the pressconference??

anything about Jovetic on the pressconference??

Neither Jovetic or Rodwell were mentioned as far as I know. I don't know if that means they are available or, more likely, that it's not newsworthy that they are still injured. He did confirm Nastasic wasn't injured though.

And nothing on Dzeko? Well at least Aguero is back. He could even fill in for Silva or Nasri.

And I think Edin has played even longer minutes in last 4 or 5 games....

Kun missing has limited our striker rotation, and I'm really worried we're walking a thin line here...e.g. Dzeko had a slight harmstring knock vs. Newcastle (don't know how that is progressing) - and if he has to start or play significant minutes again, there is a significant risk of that knock turning into a more serious injury...

We can hope for the best. On a plus side Kun is coming back...

 

[carlos tevez is a blue]

No Rodwell, no Nasri, no Yaya, no Silva, leaves us Milner, Garcia, Fernandnho and Navas.

 

[dasblues]

No Rodwell, no Nasri, no Yaya, no Silva, leaves us Milner, Garcia, Fernandnho and Navas.

Still pretty decent though, 4/5 of the midfield that won in Munich...

Could do with Jovetic back to play the creative forward role

 

[kaz7]

No Rodwell, no Nasri, no Yaya, no Silva, leaves us Milner, Garcia, Fernandnho and Navas.

He didnt say anything about rodwell or have i missed that?
He may be fit
