Official Stoke City v Manchester City thread

I think Ireland needs a rest tomorrow. Elano to start with fresh legs

Noooooo!!!, type of game Ireland needs to play in!
We can't rest our best player after he has already had plenty of rest!

I think this season is now taking its toll on Stevie.. a 4/5 game rest will be good for him.

WTF ???? how old is he 22 or something, played one match in a month, no chance.

I can see goals from set pieces for Stoke today.

The thing about Delap's throw ins is they work at their ground, it's a narrow pitch. COMS, like Maine Road before it, is one of the widest pitches in the football league. Getting the ball the extra distance spoilt the throws.


So yes, they'll be a threat today.

This place is a nightmare for away fans, we are all on the buses now being escorted to the ground.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Onuoha, Bridge, Wright-Phillips, De Jong, Zabaleta, Ireland, Bellamy, Robinho. Subs: Schmeichel, Fernandes, Garrido, Elano, Caicedo, Jo, Vassell.

Good to see a bit of confidence from the manager following Wednesday's performance.

We should turn these over no trouble. 2-1 Stoke.

 

[bluespana]

0-3 to us. ...And that is my final order.

 

[JULES]

should be able to beat stoke, if the defence stays solid it shouldn`t be a problem, probably 0-1 or 1-2.
come on city

 

[AndyB80]

Come on CITY!!!!!
