And you don't think it was a good opportunity to give Aguero playing time, since he's been out for 5 weeks, and also to partner him up again with Negredo who he's not played with since he came back? Dzeko will presumably start on Saturday and Jovetic hasn't kicked a ball since November so we had to start with at leafs one of Aguero or Negredo.

I think Pellers managed it well, just a shame Negredo picked up a small injury.

Which is the other side of looking at it. When he went in twice, 2-footed I just thought 'fuck, he's going to get clattered for that'. He was within 5 minutes but rode it off. You're right, it was a good opportunity, it just got the old BP up when he went in like that. Been looking forward to his return since he went out. Just glad he's going to be fit for Spurs, a game i'm relishing more each day.

I couldn't believe Sergio did that and risked a sending off. He'd have been suspended for wembley and that would have been a problem: he runs united's centre half ragged when he plays them. Ferdinand will be waking up with cold sweats thinking of Sergio running at him in the box.

Remember that cocky ferdinand tweet the morning of the FA cup semi? 'I feel like a kid on Christmas morning'. He will feel like a kid on the morning of his exams this time.

I thought suspensions are domestic ones, not specific to a competiton? So he'd have missed Watford, Spurs and Chelsea if it was a 3-man ban. Or maybe i'm confused!

God. That would have been even worse.

Exactly! It was utter stupidity from Sergio. Probably deserved a red too. And imagine if Negredo now misses those games through injury. We'd have had just Edin and Jovetic...
 
Got no problems with Pellegrini's team selection last night. I do have a problem with the challenge the West Ham player made on Negredo and that he didn't get punished for it.

Arm in sling isn't exactly encouraging; let's hope he is just badly bruised. I was about as far away from the incident as could be for a City supporter but it didn't look as if they put his shoulder back in. Not read whole thread so that may have been covered. I was actually surprised he played on, given how he was holding his arm.

Or Edin and Spanish Dave, seems to work quite well, although with nasri out?

edit: sorry ducado

I don't want anyone to misconstrue my concern for spurs and Chelsea as a lack of belief on dzeko . I like and rate dzeko and have no problem whatsoever with him being in the side. But for the biggest games, the ones where we come under some pressure, negredo's ability to hold the ball up is really important. It gives is an outlet from the back and allows us to retain posession and bring the playmakers into the game.It was a big reason we lost at home to bayern: unless dzeko is bang on his game he doesn't do that well.

I totally agree in high pressure games against the very best sides Edins shortcomings can become glaringly obvious he's a great finisher but unlike the beast he is not the finished article let's hope it's not too serious and a couple of weeks rest and treatment is all that's required he's so important to the team shouldn't have been risked last night for me but hey ho the situation now is what it is ! we'll have to cope.
 
Not sure people realise how potentially serious this could be.

The hope is it's just bruising or damage to a nerve, as the Rugby fans were suggesting, but it could also be a fracture to the collar-bone which could put him out for 3 months

The fact that he played on, and that he doesn't look like he spent the night in hospital suggests to me it's not broken. There are a lot of delicate, fragile structures in and around the shoulder joint
 
We've only two players out right now and, in that respect, only Cardiff City have fewer injuries than us.

We have coped very well so far and I dont think we would have been any better off in any of the 4 competitions had everyone been fit.

Its just a shame the ones we do get seem to be to key players and are more than a couple of weeks.

Negredo can keep Nasri company for a couple of weeks ;-) We will be fine particularly as everyone is more used to Pelle's system and just slot into it now. Hollistic.

Marvin, I've fractured my collar bone falling off a ladder and he wouldn't be walking around with a smile on his face today, he'd either be in agony (extremely painful bone to break/fracture) or he'd be doped up to the eyeballs.
Plus, there's nowhere near enough swelling visible in any photos to suggest a fracture, lots of blood vessels running through that area = lots of swelling.
 
If he is out any length of time it will be a huge shame after getting Sergio back. Here is hoping it's nothing serious. Guess we will find out more tomorrow.

They always put that when they dont know how long the player is out for. Its updated when the club says what the injury is specifically.
