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

[Cityisland]

More worried about Spurs and Chelsea.

Really? Why is that?

lol.

 

[JGL07]

Provisional squad: Pantilimon, Hart, Richards, Zabaleta, Huws, Nastasic, Lescott, Kompany, Demichelis, Boyata, Clichy, Kolarov, Milner, Navas, Silva, Toure, Fernandinho, Garcia, Rodwell, Lopes, Aguero, Jovetic, Dzeko, Negredo.
All 3 fit for this match? At the same time?? Anyone have a flying pig gif?

To be fair Rodwell and Jovetic both played at Stoke and Jovetic and Richards both started against Wigan.

All three in one match would be a novelty though.

Provisional Squad?? I might be missing something here but haven't they just named everyone (except Nasri)!

Nope, it is only provisional but it might just be the first time they've all been available, bar pre-season.

im pretty sure Aguero will be starting this game. The team will probably be quite strong - no manager wants to be the one who goes down in history as the one who fluffed a 6 goal cushion. Sounds ridiculous but it's true, a portion of the decision will be influenced by this.

Also it's good for some players to get a full 90 again. And, most importantly, Pellegrini obviously loves winning games and sees that constantly winning breeds confidence.

Pantillimon, Richards, Nastasic, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Garcia, Fernandinho (1 half), Navas (1 half), Aguero (60 mins), Dzeko

Hart, Demichellis, Zabs, Kolarov, Huws, Lopes, Jovetic

Depending on how fit players are;

Pantilimon
Richards
Lescott
Nasty
Clichy
Garcia
Huws
Milner
Lopes
Dzeko
Jovetic

Play a few youngsters from the start with some experience in there too. Game like this we want to win to keep our run going, but also freshen things up and give youngsters an opportunity. If Rodwell and Jovetic are able to start then play them.

Please just rest as aggressively as possible. Fernandinho and Toure shouldn't even have to travel. Spurs and Chelsea games will rest on their energy.

 

[JoeMercer'sWay]

Pantilimon
Richards
Nastasic
Lescott
Clichy
Garcia
Huws
Milner
Lopes
Jovetic
Aguero

Subs: Hart, Boyata, Demichelis, Kolarov, Rodwell, Navas, Dzeko.

West Ham aren't going to score 6 goals so we can rest as many as we want.

I am going to make a prediction - Pantillimon will not concede 6 goals -
or to put it another way he will concede 0 goals. That is my faith in him.

Jack and Jovetic back at once! Has hell frozen over... no wait, the sun is out in Manchester, it's a sign! :D
