Norwich (a) pre-match thread

[Manchester_lalala]

Norwich are poor, no excuse if we don't beat these today. I get a feeling we will struggle though, which would be predictable after winning our last league game.

No fucking about. 2 early goals and a 1-6 thrashing. 2 for the Kid.

Or then again maybe we will fucking smash them

Yaya is going to be a big miss. For some reason Fernandinho just hasn't stepped up when Yaya is absent. Can see a role for Alex Garcia today. You need fighters in a fight. Silk is no goood today.

So; what time will we let in our customary soft goal today? I'll go for somewhere between minutes 25 and 40.


3-1 win, by the way; Kun, Dinho and Merlin.

After Stoke and Leicster, I'll just be happy to get to 25 minutes without conceding, although in truth I've a horrible feeling that we're due a refereeing intervention and a ridiculous sending off.
Carrow Road is often dry and rutted at this time of the year, making for poor control and scrappy matches, so an Aguero 0-1 will do me.

Don't even know who's fit anymore but I'd go

Hart

Sagna Kompany Otamendi Clichy

Fernandinho Fernando

Navas Silva Sterling

Aguero

That's what I think he'll go with or the same players in a 4-4-1-1. Toure will be a big miss as we struggle to retain the ball well when he doesn't play but we should (in theory at least) still be good enough to beat Norwich.

Suppose if clogger Naismith plays we'll pick up a couple of injuries !

He may, rather ironically, be out injured himself. Read he was having a late fitness test.

Not sure I'd class Alex Garcia as a fighter, tbh. Looks like he'll be playing for the EDS anyway, judging by this tweet:

In the premierinn pub quite a lot of blues knocking about

 

[malg]

Like every game to the end of the season now.......it's a must win.

 

[york away to this!]

We have to win this. Comfortably.

 

[kaz7]

I'm not too nervous and that is usually a good sign,win any which way please

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Nice one, bony starts.

[gfunkstylee]

4-4-2 it is then

Sorry, make that 4-4-1

 

[Clercqs]

What a joke. No Sterling or Kelechi but Bony starts again.

City XI: Hart, Sagna, Kompany, Otamendi, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, Aguero, Bony #ncfcvcity #mcfc
