Newcastle Vs City Pre Match Discussion Thread

For me, Dzeko up top in a 4-5-1 formation.
Unless Yaya has dramatically bettered his physique this week I'd prefer to see him on the bench.


With many players still some distance away from full fitness, it's quite impossible to predict a starting XI.

For example, is Zabaleta and Sagna fully operational? Is Kompany and Mangala ready to play 90mins?

A win today is all that matters, not how we do it.

Will there be a guard of honour today or is this something the Premier League only insist on for the rags?

 

[waspish]

We must be the only team ever in premier league that have won 2 titles and not had a guard of honour

 

[marco]

fuck the guard of honour lets just have the 3 points please

I'd fully expect him to play, what did he say?

"Today is my first game in the Premier League" doesn't mean he is in the XI tho. Probably, we are going to play 3 in the middle.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Hart, Sagna, Kompany, Nastasic, Kolarov, Fernando, Yaya, Nasri, Silva, Jovetic, Dzeko.

 

[Rammyblues]

The only issue is whether Sagna or Zab, prefer Zab because he understands what he has to do, but I am sure Pellers has spelt it out to Sagna as well.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Hart, Sagna, Kompany, Nastasic, Kolarov, Fernando, Yaya, Nasri, Silva, Jovetic, Dzeko.

Swap Nasri for Ferdy and Nastasic for Martin and id be very happy with that.
