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

[Le Havre Oswald]

got to give wrighty a game.<br /><br />-- Sat Jan 18, 2014 11:29 pm --<br /><br />

They've just lost another at home and their confidence will be really low. I think BFS will probably have already written this off, and in all probability will rest most of their first choice players, especially given their precarious league position.

IMO MP will try to give as many fringe players as poss a run out.

I know it will never happen but I'd love to see Wright get a match. 2-1 City.

After watching him in those friendlies in America he looked like a fan in the nets. In fact quite a few fans could do better. If we start him 6 may not be enough.

west ham wont play their strongest eleven , its a lost cause , and they have more important relegation games to play , our 2nd team stuffed hollywood FC , so i think hammers reserves wont be a problem , whats the record for an aggregate cup semi-final win ?

 

[goatfood]

Panty
Richards
Lescott
Nasty
Clichy
Milner
Rodwell (Huws if not fit)
Garcia
Lopes
Jovetic
Aguero

Bench - Wright, Boyata, Huws, Hiwula, Pozo, Dzeko, Ferna

I would not even make the rest travel, take some more EDS lads in case needed.

Aguero is getting 60 mins MP more or less confirmed that in his post match interview.

Hahaha. TBH after typing Panty, I couldn't be arsed typing the rest of the names. I do have an excuse though....... I have a slipped disk in my neck and so can only type with 1 hand :-)

It's just dawned on me that West Ham will probably play a bunch of kids....so this could be the game we do SERIOUS damage on the goalscoring charts.

 

[LoveCity]

If West Ham do play kids like they did in the FA Cup, we should follow suit and start Lopes, Huws and maybe Facey or Denayer. Just a few mixed in with our rotation team, giving as many key players as possible a rest. Lopes should start no matter what West Ham's team is, we need to test the kid against top-flight opposition for a full game.

 

[greasedupdeafguy]

Would love to see Denayer in the squad, think we have a hidden gem with him but it seems Lopes and Huws are the only EDS players close to the first team at present.
