Manchester City V West Ham (2nd Leg) Pre-match thread

[Centurions]

Do you think we'll get a decent attendance for this one?

It'll be an attendance of 1 if you turn up at the Etihad.
It's the away leg.



It wouldn't surprise me if there's more Blues than WHU fans there.

Chelsea friendlies in the usa
He was really bad

You are kidding. I could play in goal Tuesday and we'd still get to the final.
Do you really think we'd miss out with him in goal?

Bring your gloves fella, you're in ;-)

Cheers Dan.Not before time either (would you be alright to take the goal kicks for me mate)

Tricky game this. Not in terms of the tie, but WH will be fired up to win on the night. But, Manuel says "we play always the same way" so I expect us to win.

WH won't be fired up at all, they'll be resting every player they can (I suspect Carroll will play to help up his fitness, but he looked miles off last week). Their next league game is Chelsea away, then they have Swansea H, Villa A, Norwich H, Southampton H, and they desperately need league points from those games, so they won't be risking further injuries ahead of that run, as they badly need to stay up.

Cant see West Ham bothering to play a full strength squad so even with out our best 11, I think we can keep the unbeaten run going, ,Forest hammered their reserves ,

Would this team be possible?

Costel Pantilimon

Dedryck Boyata
Martín Demichelis
Jolean Lescott
Shay Facey

Marcos Lopes
Emyr Huws
Jack Rodwell
James Milner

Stevan Jovetic
Devante Cole

Subs:
Richard Wright
Aleksandar Kolarov
Yaya Toure
Garcia
Negredo
Sergio Agüero

No kids from West Ham it looks like:

At least it will provide West Ham with some relief from their torrid league campaign and Sam Allardyce insists he will not select a weakened team against City. "We'll put a team together that tries to play for a bit of pride," he said.

Don't know about that. "Put a team together" suggests to me it will be a reserve team like ours.
